Installation Instructions
Step 1 READ:
Read and understand these instructions thoroughly before attempting any part of the
installation procedure.
WARNING: Not following these instructions may void warranty, cause
damage to the equipment and/or cause injury to anyone involved in the
installation or operation of this machine.
A copy of the installation instructions and start-up procedure is printed on the yellow sheet
attached to the side of the machine. EVERYONE involved with the installation must be
familiar with all aspects of the installation procedure.
Step 2 POSITIONING:
The factory recommends leaving as much room as possible around the
machine for future service work. No less than 16" should be allowed along the sides of the
machine (36" for side with control box) and no less than 12" between the rear of the
machine and the wall. Extra room around the machine will facilitate cleaning the washer area.
Note: Gas models should be installed in a location free of drafts.
Step 3 UNCRATING:
Leave the machine fully crated until the washer is placed in the location
where it is to be installed. Inside you will find the accessories for the machine. Among these
will be the fan and the legs (if ordered). The legs are adjustable by turning the small end one
way or the other. Legs are not required for pit models.
When a pit is used it can be installed prior to receiving the machine. There are two types of
pits to choose from: concrete (see page 27) or stainless steel (see pages 28 - 30). Concrete
pits are the most common. They are usually installed by a general contractor. Note that the
drain system will also be installed at this time. Generally concrete pits are painted to make
them water proof.
A stainless steel pit is available for installations in buildings with basements. The stainless pit
can also be used as a liner with concrete poured around it. The stainless steel pit is equipped
with a coupler to allow the plumber to connect the drain (see pages 28 - 30).
Prior to receiving the rack washer, the service lines can be stubbed in close to where the rack
washer will be installed (see page 22). This will speed up the completion of the installation
once the machine is in place.
