Receiving and Installation
The glasswasher is shipped from the factory in a corrugated box on a wooden pallet. The
installation guidelines give a systematic procedure for setting up the machine.
1. Start by removing the box and packaging material. Check for the following component parts:
A. Drain Screen:
The Wash Tank Scrap Screen is shipped inside the wash cavity of the machine. This
screen must be in place during operation. It has been designed to perform two basic
functions:
•
Strain water that is circulating through the spray arms and pump assembly.
•
A basket to catch heavy solids or broken glass that may plug the impeller.
B. Spray Arms
The end caps on the spray arms have been taped to protect them in shipping. Remove
the tape from the spray arm end caps.
C. Tube Stiffeners:
The tube stiffeners must be used to prevent the feed tubes from curling up inside the
chemical pail allowing the tip to rise out of the chemical. Remove the tie-wraps securing
the tube stiffeners to the glasswasher to free them up for use. Be careful not to remove
any of the tie-wraps securing the tube bundle.
2. Set the machine in place and, using the leg adjusters, level from side-to-side and front-to-
back.
2.2.1. Electrical
A 20-amp, 115 volt, 60 Hz dedicated circuit must be used to supply electrical power to the
PKD24B glasswasher (see specification sheet page 1). The power connection must be such that
there is sufficient length of flexible conduit or power cord to permit the machine to be moved for
cleaning.
2.2.2. Plumbing
The machine is equipped with a gate valve with a ½” female NPT connection located at the lower
left-hand corner (facing the back) of the machine. A 140°F water line should be plumbed to this
point. The water line used must be of sufficient length and flexibility to permit the machine to be
moved for cleaning.
A 1” male NPT fitting is provided for the drain connection on the discharge port of the diverter
valve (lower, right-hand corner of machine). This fitting may be removed and user provided
hardware may be used if necessary to facilitate compliance with local plumbing codes. Code
requires that the drain discharge provides an air gap no less than 1” or two pipe diameters,
whichever is greater, above the flood level rim of an approved floor drain.
2.2.3. Post Instructions
Mount the wall chart provided in a conspicuous place and instruct the operators on proper cleaning
and operation of the PKD24B. The instruction chart is also provided as an appendix to this manual
(see appendix).
