Water, Drain, and Venting Connections
Water Hardness
Determine the water hardness level in water supply. Good wash
results are dependent on water hardness. In areas that have medium
and very hard water levels, a water softener may be required.
Contact your water or soap distributor for determining the proper
soap and detergents to be used with your hardness levels for the
best wash results.
Water Supply Connections
Washers have 2 water inlets. For connection dimensions,
see “Dimensions and Technical Specifications.”
1.
Always use the flexible hoses delivered with the washer.
Do not use a fixed connection to the water supply.
2.
Keep proper water pressure within range. See “Dimensions
and Technical Specifications.”
3.
The water connection to the washer
requires a 3⁄4" British Standard Pipe
Thread fitting. The ground end is a
U.S. thread. Threading an NPT fitting
or the NPT end of the adapter hose
will damage the threads of the
washer.
4.
Flush water lines to remove debris.
Install the non-grooved side of the
adapter hoses to the hot and cold
side of the valves. Tighten fittings.
5.
Attach grooved end of the adapter hoses
to the washer. Tighten fittings.
6.
Turn on water and check for leaks in the system.
Drain Connections
Use the provided drain hose to connect the washer’s drain pipe
to the facility drain or drain channel. Secure with the provided clamp.
The capacity of discharged water for each washer model is 55.5 gal/
min (210 L/min).
Venting
To maintain proper venting, do not cover the washer vent.

Check the data plate to determine electrical requirements. Before
making the electrical connection, make sure the voltage and
frequency listed on the data plate matches your electrical network.
Each washer must be on an individual branch circuit. To ensure
uninterrupted electrical current, a residual current device (RCD)
and a circuit breaker must be installed in the building’s electrical
system for each washer. The proper connection is described in
the illustration below.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the supply voltage is always within
the limits specified in “Technical Specifications.” If the electrical
installation requires long distances to travel, it may be necessary
to use larger cables to reduce the voltage drop.
