Safety Information Explanation of Safety Messages Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions, are found in this manual and on machine decals. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the machine. DANGER DANGER indicates the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored.
Safety Information 9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. 10. Do not tamper with the controls. 11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that the user understands and has the skills to carry out. 12.
Safety Information WARNING CAUTION This machine must be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualified electrical maintenance personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this type of machinery. They must also be familiar with the potential hazards involved. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage, and may void the warranty.
Safety Information Safety Decals Safety decals appear at crucial locations on the machine. Failure to maintain legible safety decals could result in injury to the operator or service technician. Use manufacturer-authorized spare parts to avoid safety hazards. To provide personal safety and keep the machine in proper working order, follow all maintenance and safety procedures presented in this manual. If questions regarding safety arise, contact the manufacturer immediately.
Safety Information Operator Safety Safe Operating Environment WARNING NEVER insert hands or objects into basket until it has completely stopped. Doing so could result in serious injury. SW012 To ensure the safety of machine operators, the following maintenance checks must be performed daily: Safe operation requires an appropriate operating environment for both the operator and the machine. If questions regarding safety arise, contact the manufacturer immediately.
Safety Information Input and Output Services DANGER Do not place volatile or flammable fluids in any machine. Do not clean the machine with volatile or flammable fluids such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine. SW002 ● ● Water Pressure. Best performance will be realized if water is provided at a pressure of 30 – 85 psi (2.0 – 5.7 bar).
Operation This manual is designed as a guide to operating and programming the UW35 and UW60 rigid-mount washer-extractor equipped with the mechanical timer control. The manuals, installation instructions, and wiring diagrams which accompany the machine have been included with the machine at no charge. Additional copies are available at a nominal charge. NOTE: Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate the machine. NOTE: Do not use this manual in conjunction with earlier model UW machines.
Operation Machine Familiarization The machine familiarization guide in Figure 1 identifies major operational features of the UW washer-extractor.
Operation Theory Of Operation The design of the machine emphasizes performance reliability and long service life. The cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of stainless steel. Electrical controls for the machine are housed in a separate enclosure located on the top of the machine. Removing the screws from the module cover, lifting the cover, and pulling to the rear provides access to the control module.
Operation Display Indications Figure 2 shows the control panel for mechanical timercontrolled machines. The red light labeled “ON” on the control panel illuminates when a cycle is started and will stay illuminated until the completion of the cycle. The amber light labeled “BLEACH” on the control module illuminates at the beginning of the wash step, once water level is reached (and cycle temperature has been reached on auxiliary heat models).
Operation Start-up Loading Switch the ON/OFF rocker switch on the control module to the ON position. Opening Door Use left hand to press and hold the door unlock button located on the lower right front of the control panel. Use right hand to turn door handle clockwise and swing the door left to open. See Figure 3. CAUTION Be careful around the open door, particularly when loading from a level below the door. Impact with door edges can cause personal injury.
Operation Supply Dispenser Dry supplies are placed in the supply dispenser compartment cups prior to the start of each cycle. Liquid supplies can be injected directly into the supply dispenser by an external chemical supply system. NOTE: Supply dispenser compartment cups should not be removed when an external chemical injection supply system is attached to the washerextractor. The supply system flushes at preset times in the wash cycle. Refer to the following tables for more details.
Operation Cycle Selection The push button cycle selector switch on the control module provides a selection of four complete automatic cycles. See the table below for more information. Press the START button to start the selected cycle.
Operation Cycle Execution Wash NOTE: The following description is for the factorypreset program. Prewash times, wash times, final extract times, fill levels, and water temperatures may vary depending on jumper configuration. See the Programming section for more details. After the machine has drained, the drain valve closes and the water inlet valve(s) opens to fill the machine with water to low level. The program timer advances one step every thirty seconds, except during fills.
Operation Rinse 3 After the second intermediate extract, the machine closes the drain valve and opens the cold water inlet valve to fill the machine to high level. The amber indicator light labeled “SOFTENER” illuminates at the beginning of the fill, and remains illuminated for 1 minute. External chemical supply signal outputs 4 and 5 energize, and supply dispenser compartments 4 and 5 flush for 1 minute during this fill. Once high level is reached, the washing action resumes for 90 seconds.

Programming The wash cycle program in machines equipped with a mechanical timer can be modified to a limited extent. The following changes can be made: ● The prewash time may be set to 2 minutes, 4 minutes, or omitted altogether. ● The wash time may be set to either 4 minutes or 8 minutes. The water level for the wash step may be set to either low or high. ● The water temperature for the rinses may be set to either cold or warm. ● The final spin time may be set to either 2 minutes or 4 minutes.

Programming 1a to 3a to 3b to 5b Figure 11 This configuration eliminates the prewash step, shortens the wash stepfrom 8 minutes to 4 minutes, and shortens the final spin time from 4 minutes to 2 minutes. See Figure 8. 5b 5 5a 3b 3 3a 1b 1 1a 1a to 3b to 5b This configuration eliminates the prewash step and shortens the final spin time from 4 minutes to 2 minutes. See Figure 12.
Programming 7. The even-numbered side of the program timer can be configured with jumpers to adjust the rinse temperature or to change the water level for the wash step. Either or both even-side jumper configurations may be used in conjunction with any of the 11 permissible odd-side jumper combinations. See Figure 13.
