IM-POWER PREP INTRO
IMPORTANT: THE RIM OF THE DRAIN MUST SEAT IN THE RECESS OF THE SINK OR IT
WILL WORK LOOSE OVER TIME AND ALLOW WATER TO LEAK AROUND THE
DRAIN.
Install Sink Drains
There is one sink drain in the Power Prep Intro that must be installed. The drain with
a valve built into the body is installed in the bottom of the sink and oriented with the
drain valve handle toward the front of the sink. The flange at the top of the valve must
be sealed to the recess formed in the inside sink bottom.
Apply a generous bead of a drain sealant around the lip of the drain body.
The drain will be oriented with the handle connection toward the front of the sink.
From inside the sink, insert the drain through the drain hole and seat the flange
against the recess around the drain opening. Be sure that the sealant compresses so
the top flange of the drain actually touches the sheet metal surface of the sink. If the
drain does not touch the sink it will work loose and leak as the sealant compresses
over time.
From the outside of the sink, place the rubber vibration ring over the threaded body
of the drain followed by the Teflon ring and then the drain nut. Tighten the nut “hand
tight” until the handle is installed.
Using two nuts, attach the drain handle bracket to the studs on the bottom of the tank.
Insert the drain valve handle through the bracket and into the drain body. It may be
necessary to rotate the handle a partial turn to align the flats on the end of the handle
shaft with the flats on the valve so that the handle will fully insert into the valve.
Secure the handle to the valve body by screwing the handle nut onto the valve body.
While holding the drain body to prevent it from rotating, tighten the drain nut with a
wrench to firmly seat the nut against the rubber vibration ring and the vibration ring
against the surface of the sink (approximately ¼ turn past “hand tight”). Wipe or trim
the excess sealant from around the drain flange inside the sink. Allow the sealant to
cure before filling the sink with water (see instructions on the sealant container for
drying time).
Leg Installation
The Power Prep Intro is usually shipped without the leg assembly attached to
the machine. Different options have different types of leg assemblies. Some leg
assemblies are all welded together and others are pieces that need to be assembled.
If the leg set is welded together, skip to the section labeled “Leg Set and Sink”.
Leg Set Assembly
Install the two leg end weldments and the two stretchers. The stretchers are the
horizontal tubes that connect the leg weldments to provide lateral stability. The long
stretcher will be installed between the back legs on the wash sink.
Orient the stretcher socket with the set screw facing toward the sink drain and then
slide the stretcher sockets over the top of the leg sets so that the stretcher will be
positioned above the welded joint of the leg when the legs are assembled onto the
sink. Install the stretchers between the leg sets by inserting them into the sockets
before inserting the legs into the sockets on the bottom of the tank and drain board.
IMPORTANT: AFTER TIGHTENING THE SET SCREWS, FILL THE OPENINGS IN A CLEAN
AND SANITARY MANNER WITH THE SILICONE SEALANT THAT IS SUPPLIED
WITH THE MACHINE
Leg Set and Sink
Insert the leg assembly into the sockets on the bottoms of the sink and drain board.
Be sure that all the legs are seated in the bottom of the sockets. Use an Allen wrench
(5/32) to tighten the set screws in all of the sockets. After tightening the set screws,
apply silicone sealant (supplied with the machine) to the set screw openings in order
to seal the openings in a clean and sanitary manner.
