The following Safety Precautions must be observed when uncrating/installing, operating or servicing this Basil®
3600 Bedding Dispenser. WARNING indicates the potential for personal injury and CAUTION indicates the
potential for damage to equipment. For emphasis, certain Safety Precautions are repeated throughout the manual.
It is important to review ALL Safety Precautions before operating or servicing the bedding dispenser.
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK AND/OR BURN HAZARD:
WARNING – LACERATION AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD:
WARNING – LACERATION HAZARD:
WARNING – HEALTH HAZARD:
Fans and motors have rotating parts and pinch points. When operating a unit equipped with dust collec-
tion system, ensure exhaust guard, elbow and dust bag are securely in place.
Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained service
personnel. Non-routine maintenance performed by unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized
parts could cause personal injury, result in improper equipment performance, void the warranty or result
in costly damage. Contact STERIS regarding service options.
When moving the unit, use a forklift.
Disconnect all utilities to dispenser before servicing. Do not service dispenser unless all utilities have
been properly locked out. Always follow local lockout-tagout and electrical safety-related work practice
standards.
Fasteners and star washers are used to ensure protective bonding continuity. Always reinstall any star
washer which may have been removed during installation or servicing.
When removing bands, wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and always use a tool
specifically designed to cut bands. Bands used to secure this carton can cause personal injury when
cut and tension is released.
When removing bolts, wear gloves to protect your hands.
Vapors from solvents can be harmful. Use with adequate ventilation. Follow directions on the container.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

122997-217 Uncrating/Installation Instructions Safety Precautions
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
IMPORTANT: Refer to the local occupational health and safety regulations, as well as electric and plumbing
codes, for any special requirements that may pertain to installation of this unit.
After utilities are connected to equipment, slowly remove the protective adhesive paper from the exte-
rior cabinet panels to reduce the level of static discharge.
Ensure a cooling fan is attached to rear motor shaft. Verify fan blades are positioned to send airflow to
motor. Motor will overheat without a cooling fan.
Once electrical power is connected, verify each motor for correct rotation. Incorrect motor rotation may
result in equipment damage and improper equipment operation.
When removing adhesives from stainless steel, use a solvent specially formulated for that purpose. Rub
in a back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Solvent rubbed in a circular motion or
applied with a wire brush or steel wool on bedding dispenser assemblies can be harmful to stainless
steel. Do not use solvents on painted surfaces.

3.1 Before Installing
Bedding Dispenser
See Figure 3-1.
1. Review installation requirements:
a. Clearance – clearance space shown on equipment drawing
(122-998-267 or 122-998-283) indicates space necessary
for easy installation and proper operation and maintenance
of Basil®3600 Bedding Dispenser.
For best results, tunnel cage washer conveyor should be 10-
3/4 to 11" (273 to 279 mm) higher than bedding dispenser
conveyor.
Tunnel cage washer conveyor opening must be aligned
within 1/8" to ensure functionality of chute conveyor safety
device.
Bedding dispenser and tunnel washer can be welded
together; however, placing them next to each other without a
gap is sufficient.
b. Utility service lines:
• Disconnect switch (not provided by STERIS) must be
installed in electric supply line near bedding dispenser
(see Figure 3-1). Disconnect switch must be capable of
being locked in OFF position only.
• If bedding dispenser is installed next to other equipment,
disconnect switch should be located so service can be
shut off to one piece of equipment at a time.
• Utility service requirements are as shown on equipment
drawing. Verify equipment drawing or identification plate
(located over electrical box cover) for proper voltage.
2. Ensure bedding dispenser is placed, as shown on equipment
drawing (122-998-267 or 122-998-283), in correct relation to
building supply lines.
NOTE: If bedding dispenser is not at installation site, see
SECTION 2.2, MOVE SECTIONS AND REMOVE SKIDS, for proper
moving instructions.
3. Verify bedding dispenser is level.
a. Place a spirit level on top of each conveyor.
b. If necessary, level bedding dispenser, end-to-end and side-
to-side, by adjusting leveling legs.
IMPORTANT: A listing of the Safety Precautions to be observed when uncrating/installing and testing this
bedding dispenser can be found in SECTION 1 of this manual. Do not begin uncrating/installing the
