INSTALLATION
FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS
GLASS WASHING MACHINES

Floor Space
The Washer requires a location with an adequate area
to permit easy access around the machine with no
obstructions. The detergent and rinse tanks require
an additional space, equal to the width of the Washer,
from the center section on the control panel side of
the machine. This is necessary if the tanks are to be
removed for cleaning or maintenance. The floor area
must be clean and free from grease, oil and water.
When installing the machine, consideration should be
given to the size of glass to be used to ensure proper
clearance of the infeed and unloading conveyor
sections of the machine when loading and unloading
the glass.
Compressed Air
If an optional power lift for the height adjustment is
used, an air supply is required capable of delivering
100 PSI at 5 CFM. The air supply connection is
located at the control panel side at the infeed
conveyor of the Washer main body.
Electrical Requirements
The power requirements are 3 phase, 60 cycle,
208/230/460 volts. The electrical panel name plate
specifies the full load amperage (other power sources
can be accommodated on special order). The power
source must also have a safety disconnect switch for
servicing the Washer. Local electrical codes may
require this switch. All wiring must meet local
electrical codes.
Ensure that the Washer is wired for the
SAME
VOLTAGE
as the voltage supplied to the machine.
Remember, 208 volt
IS NOT
230 volt!
Ensure that electrical connections and lines do not
contact water.
The EMERGENCY STOP slap switches DO NOT
disconnect power from all components of the
machine.
The main power source safety disconnect switch
controlling the main power to the machine must
be in sight of personnel at the machine or must be
capable of being locked OFF.
After Washer has been connected to power press the
“
ON
” button. Open the detergent compartment cover
and see if the upper brush rotates
against
the glass
flow through the machine. If it is moving with the
glass travel, change any of the two main wire leads
that feed the main control panel.
Never
change the wires to any motor directly. The
wiring has been properly done at the factory and
should not be altered.
A second check is to observe the rotation of the
blower motor. This will also indicate if the main
power supply to the machine needs to be rewired to
achieve the correct rotation.
Properly ground the machine to reduce static
charges.
If the Washer’s starters or heaters kick out, check for
loose connections and for a low voltage supply.
Always check
one
motor to make sure that the
Washer is properly wired for your applied voltage.
