Installation & Operation
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building,
electrical, and plumbing codes in effect in the area.
Foundation Requirements
The washer must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon a suitable base
which is in turn securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor. Care must be stressed with all foundation
work to insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on sound concrete floors.
See mounting dimensions for each model being installed.
Mounting
A concrete pad or steel base which elevates the machine 4 to 6 inches above the floor level. To provide
easy access to the loading door, it is recommended to allow a minimum of 24” of clearance behind the
rear of the machine for service as is shown. Dexter highly recommends the use of a dry expansion grout
mix.
Proper Machine Grout Installation
Grout should be installed between base (if used) and concrete floor on all side rails and crossmembers. If
using a base you should grout between base top and machine frame and all side rails and crossmembers.
(Grouting between the machine base and the floor is absolutely required for all 200G Express Models)
Mounting Holes
See mounting dimensions for the machine model you are installing in previous section. They also show a
typical concrete pad arrangement. It is highly recommended that you use all mounting holes supplied with
each model. Note: Mounting bolts should be checked frequently to insure that they remain tight. The
machine should be checked with a spinning load to be sure there is no unusual vibration or movement
between the machine and the base or floor. Please note: Machine grouting is highly recommended as
grouting insures stability and longevity.
Plumbing
Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses are
standard garden hose type thread. Separate hot and cold water lines with shut off valves or faucets for
inlet hose connections must be provided, maintaining 30 to 120 p.s.i. water flow pressure. Maximum water
temperature is 180 degrees.
Drain
The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3” in outside diameter on models T-400, T450, & T-600.
The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 2 1/4” outside diameter on a T-300 and T350 models.
All Drains are gravity Drain. Adequate fall must be maintained for proper drainage.
Protective Film
The machine may have protective adhesive film on the front escutcheon area and the front and side
stainless steel panels. The film may be peeled off before putting the machine into service.
Electrical
Dexter single/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. No power cord is provided. The machine should be connected to an individual branch circuit
not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be sheathed in liquid tight flexible
conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and insulation. A qualified technician should
make such connections in accordance with the wiring diagram.
T-300 WCAD20KCS-10 model (1 phase 120 volts) washers are equipped with an electrical cord with a 3
prong grounded plug. A U.L. approved receptacle, which has been properly grounded in accordance with
local electrical codes must be used with the machine. Each unit should be connected to an individual
branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. Conductors of the proper size and insulation
(suggested size below) should be used.
