Operation Operating Instructions 1. When display shows “----,” washer-extractor is ready to be loaded with laundry. 2. Use left hand to press and hold the door unlock button located on the lower right front of the control panel. Refer to Figure 6. 4. Load the washer-extractor to full capacity whenever possible, but do not exceed the rated dry-weight capacity of the machine if the fabric to be washed is quite dense, closely woven, and heavily soiled. Overloading can result in an inferior wash.
Operation CAUTION Be careful around the open door, particularly when loading from a level below the door. Impact with door edges can cause personal injury. SW025 NOTE: When washing items which may disintegrate or fragment, such as mop heads or sponges, use laundry nets to prevent drain blockage. IMPORTANT: To prevent out-of-balance conditions, premature wear or damage to machine when using laundry nets, use several small nets in a load. 5.
Maintenance Routine maintenance maximizes operating efficiency and minimizes downtime. The maintenance procedures described below will prolong the life of the machine and help prevent accidents. WARNING Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts. Sharp edges can cause personal injury. Wear safety glasses and gloves, use the proper tools, and provide adequate lighting. SW035 4. Check door interlock before starting operation: a. Attempt to start the washer with the door open.
Maintenance Monthly NOTE: Disconnect power to the washer-extractor at its source before performing the monthly maintenance procedures. 1. Each month OR after every 200 hours of operation, lubricate bearings of the UW60. Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10.

Maintenance The grease must have the following characteristics: Deflection. Refer to Figure 11. Increase spring tension to change belt span length. Belt tension measurements should be taken as close to the center of the belt span as possible. For every inch of span length, the belt should deflect 1/64 inch (0.40 mm). Thus, a belt with span length of 50 inches should deflect 50/64 inch (19.84 mm). An initial (run-in) force should be used to set the belt tension.
Maintenance Quarterly 1 NOTE: Disconnect power to the washer-extractor before performing the quarterly maintenance procedures. 1. Tighten door hinges and fasteners, if necessary. 2 3 4 5 2. Tighten anchor bolts, if necessary. 3. Verify that the drain motor shield is in place and secure. PHM544N 1 2 3 4 5 Drive Motor Drive Pulley Belt Straightedge Driven Pulley 4.
