Disconnect the electrical power to the machine (both dishwasher and booster if
applicable) and follow lockout / tagout procedures. Be sure all circuits are disconnected.
WASH ARMS
Upper and lower wash and rinse arms (Figures 21 & 22) should turn freely and continue turning for a few
seconds after being whirled by hand. To check, rotate arms and remove any obstructions causing improper
operation.
If either the strainer pan or the strainer bucket is not properly in place, obstructions (such as food particles or
bones) may clog the wash arm nozzles. The wash arms are easily removed for cleaning.
To remove the lower wash arm, unscrew the hand knob and lift the rinse arm off (Figure 21). The wash arm can
be lifted off once the rinse arm is removed.
The upper wash and rinse arms are removed by unscrewing the hand knob (Figure 22) and lowering both arms
together. Be careful not to drop these arms.
