Operator’s Manual for
50G and 50G Jr. Ball Washers
I.
INTRODUCTION
WITTEK Ball washers are shipped in a corrugated shipping crate which is designed to absorb considerable damage
and abuse while protecting the machine. As long as the machine is securely banded to the pallet, it should not have
sustained any damage.
Inspect the machine immediately after removing the outer portion of the shipping crate. If it is found detached or moved
from the pallet, there is possibility of damage. Inspect the machine. If any damage is discovered, immediately notify the
shipping carrier and take the appropriate action.
CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FILING ANY DAMAGE CLAIMS WITH THE CARRIER.
A.
Unpacking and Inspection
1.
Make a visual inspection of machine:
a.
Make sure the machine is securely banded to the pallet.
b.
Check the hopper and upper portion of the machine for any visible damage.
2.
Cut or break the steel bands that secure the machine and lift it from the pallet. Make sure
the machine is lifted by the frame. Lifting the washer by the plastic tank or wire hopper
may result in damage to the drain on the bottom of the tank.
The machine is now ready for installation.
B.
Installation and Hook-up

a.
Adequate working space (recommended minimum of 50 square feet).

DO NOT PLACE THE MACHINE DIRECTLY ON OPEN GROUND.
A HARD SURFACE (SUCH AS A PIECE OF 3⁄4” PLYWOOD) MUST BE KEPT BETWEEN THE MACHINE

2.
It is not necessary that the machine be perfectly level. The 50G Washer is designed to
drain in the center of the tank, permitting efficient water drainage from off-level positions.
3.
The machine is shipped with a 1 1⁄4” ball valve which is placed inside the hopper of
machine during shipping. Remove ball valve from hopper, attach to drain pipe, and
tighten by hand.
4.
A drain extension can be attached to the ball valve. A standing drain pipe or fixture
can be connected directly. Many applications use a standard 3⁄4” garden hose as a flexible
drain extension. Attachment to a garden hose requires use of a reducer/adapter, which can
be obtained from a hardware store or other local source.
