Washer Installation
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building,
electrical, and plumbing codes in effect in the area.
Foundation Requirements
The washer must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon a suitable base
which is securely bolted and machine grouted to a substantial concrete floor. Care must be stressed with
all foundation work to insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on sound
concrete floors, ( See instillation specifications for the specfic model.)
Mounting
A concrete pad or steel base which elevates the machine 4 to 6 inches above the floor level. To provide
easy access to the loading door, it is recommended to allow a minimum of 18” of clearance behind the
rear of the machine for service as is shown. SIX (6) bolts are required to mount the washer to the steel
base or concrete pad.Grouting where base or machine makes contact with concrete is REQUIRED to
achieve 100% surface contact and for warranty to be honored.
Note: Premanufactured bases are available from DEXTER factory (see sales dept.)
Mounting Bolts
The preceding pages illustrate the mounting dimensions for the machine and also show a typical concrete
pad arrangement.
Note: Mounting bolts should be checked frequently to insure that they remain tight.
The machine should be checked with a spinning load to be sure there is no unusual
vibration or movement between the machine and the base or floor.
Proper Machine Grout Required Installation
Machine
grout must be installed between base (if used) and concrete floor on all side rails and crossmem
-
bers. If using a base you must grout between base top and machine frame and all side rails and cross-
members.
Plumbing
Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses are
standard garden hose type thread. Separate hot and cold water lines with shut off valves or faucets
for inlet hose connections must be provided, maintaining 30 to 120 p.s.i. water flow pressure. The
recommended water tempature is 140 degreese.
Drain
The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3” in outside diameter on models. Adequate fall for this
gravity drain must be maintained for proper drainage.
Protective Film
The machine may have protective adhesive film on the front escutcheon area and the front and side
stainless steel panels. The film may be peeled off before putting the machine into service.
Electrical
Dexter single/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. No power cord is provided. The machine should be connected to an individual branch circuit
not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be sheathed in liquid tight flexible
conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and insulation. A qualified technician should
make such connections in accordance with the wiring diagram.
Each unit should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment.
Conductors of the proper size and insulation (suggested size below) should be used.
