5.10 Compressed Air Connection
Best performance will be realized if air is provided at a pressure of 80-100psi (5.4-6.7 bar). SI
Series machines will experience door seal and drain failure if compressed air service is interrupted.
Ensure the provided air is filtered and dry. Wet and/or dirty air will cause rapid deterioration of
internal components and void your warranty on these parts. Install a compressed air dryer to
prevent water build up in the airlines. Make sure to use best practice when installing air lines so
that water does not damage internal air components - the machine should not be the low point in
the air path. Install an inline air filter on each machine to reduce contamination (B&C part number
270-324 or purchase locally). Refer to figure 5.5 on page 25.

5.11 External Chemical Supplies
The following procedures must be observed when connecting any chemical injector to the washer-
extractor. See figure 5.6 on 26 for a typical supply injection system setup.
Undiluted chemicals dripping can damage the machine. Therefore, all chemical supply dis-
penser pumps should be mounted below the washers injection point. All dispenser tubing
should also run below the injection point. Loops do not prevent drips if these instructions are not
followed. Failure to follow these instructions could damage the machine and void the warranty.
Wear Eye and hand protection when handling chemicals. Always avoid direct con-
tact with raw chemicals. Read the manufacturers directions for accidental contact
before handling chemicals. Ensure that an eye-rinse facility and an emergency
shower are within easy reach. Check at regular intervals for chemical leaks.
