INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and
national building, electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect.
WARNING - THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR
USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY AND ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING UNLESS QUALIFIED.
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete floor - not to be
used above combustible flooring. 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 INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING
POSSIBILITIES OF EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. All installations must be made on sound
concrete floors, 12" or thicker. Anchor bolts must be of a quality grade, and
a minimum of 3/4" diameter. Six (6) mounting bolts must be used.
MOUNTING
A concrete pedestal, or steel mounting base which elevates the machine a
approximately 4" (102 mm) above the floor level is recommended to provide easy
access to the loading door. Actual base height should be determined by
application, considering access to loading door, access to soap dispenser and
height of loading carts. Allow a minimum of 24" of clearance behind the rear
of the machine, to provide access for motor removal. Refer to Figure 1-1 and
1-2 for machine bolt-down dimensions. Refer to Figure 2 for overall washer
dimensions.
If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into the
existing floor. Anchor bolts should be 3/4" x 8" 19 mm x 200 mm), grade 8 or
better, headed by a 4 inch (10 cm) square fish plate, and should protrude 2 ½
inches above the finished surface of the pedestal. If anchors are to be
installed in existing concrete we recommend Hilti Adhesive Anchor System with
Hilti HEA 3/4-6 5/8 Adhesive Capsules and Hilti HAS 3/4-9 5/8 Super Rods. (For
more information, contact Hilti Customer Service at 1-800-879-8000). EXPANSION
ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE FLOORS OR PEDESTALS. (See
Figures 1-1 and 1-3.)
PLUMBING
Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections
on the hoses are 3/4-11 ½ NHT. The small 3/8 ID supply hoses connect to the
lower hot and cold valves which flush the soap box. The larger 5/8 ID supply
hoses connect to the upper hot and cold valves.
Separate hot and cold water lines must be provided, maintaining 30 PSI to 120
PSI water flow pressure.
DRAIN
The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3 inches in diameter. Any
drain hose used must be lower than the drain valve to assure proper draining .
