—Provide a supporting floor that is strong and rigid enough to support–with
a reasonable safety factor and without undue or objectionable deflection–the weight of the fully
loaded machine and the forces transmitted by it during operation. Provide sufficient clearance for
machine movement. Provide any safety guards, fences, restraints, devices, and verbal and/or
posted restrictions necessary to prevent personnel, machines, or other moving machinery from
accessing the machine or its path. Provide adequate ventilation to carry away heat and vapors.
Ensure service connections to installed machines meet local and national safety standards,
especially regarding the electrical disconnect (see the National Electric Code). Prominently post
safety information, including signs showing the source of electrical disconnect.

good practice and with the preventive maintenance schedule. Replace belts, pulleys, brake
shoes/disks, clutch plates/tires, rollers, seals, alignment guides, etc. before they are severely

cylinder, shell, or frame cracks; drive components such as motors, gear boxes, bearings, etc.,
whining, grinding, smoking, or becoming abnormally hot; bending or cracking of cylinder, shell,
frame, etc.; leaking seals, hoses, valves, etc.) Do not permit service or maintenance by
unqualified personnel.

A tremendous amount of potential energy is stored in the rotating cylinder of any washer-
extractor (even at slow speed). Washer-extractors are equipped with a door interlock designed to
prevent the door from being opened if the cylinder is turning and to prevent the machine from
starting unless the door is closed and locked.
Some coin machine models permit the door to be opened only during the first few minutes of the
formula and only while the machine is rotating in wash speed. If the door is opened, the drain
valve opens immediately, the machine stops, and (provided the machine still has electric power),
on most models a brake is immediately applied.

• Do not attempt to open the door or reach into the cylinder until the cylinder is stopped.
• Do not touch goods inside or hanging partially outside the turning cylinder.
• Do not open the cylinder door with water in the cylinder.
