Installation Chemical Injection Supply System (continued) A stainless steel box at the right rear of the control module houses a terminal strip which furnishes supply output signals for the chemical injection supply pumps. See Figure 17 for an example of a typical terminal strip decal. Any injection system pump which requires 110VAC must be powered by a separate external power source. Consult the chemical injection supply system instructions for operational details.
Installation Control Function Test The washer-extractor should be cleaned after the installation is complete. A function test should then be executed on the unloaded machine: 1. Check the power supply for such characteristics as correct voltage, phase, and cycles to be certain they are correct for the washer-extractor. 2. Open manual shut-off valves to the washerextractor. NOTE: If the washer-extractor is equipped with the WE-6 microcomputer, press the Emergency Stop button at this point in the procedure.

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 Daily Beginning of Day 1. Inspect water inlet valve hose connections on the back of the washer-extractor for leaks. 2.
Maintenance Weekly Monthly 1. Check the washer-extractor for leaks. NOTE: Disconnect power to the washer-extractor at its source before performing the monthly maintenance procedures. a. Start an unloaded cycle to fill the washerextractor. b. Verify that door and door gasket do not leak. c. Verify that the drain valve is operating and that the drain system is free from obstruction. If water does not leak out during the prewash segment, drain valve is closed and functioning properly. 1.
Maintenance NLGI Grade 2 ● Lithium-based ● Water-insoluble ● Anti-rusting Model ● 35 ● Anti-oxidizing ● Mechanically stable The grease must have adequate base oil viscosity with one of the following ratings: ● ISO VG 150 (135 – 165 cSt at 40°C or 709 – 871 SUS at 100°F) ● ISO VG 220 (198 – 242 cSt at 40°C or 1047 – 1283 SUS at 100°F) ● An SAE 40 rating is also acceptable as long as the cSt or SUS values are within the specified ranges.
Maintenance c. Verify that V-belts are properly aligned by checking pulley alignment. Place a straightedge across both pulley faces. The straightedge should make contact with the pulleys in four places. See Figure 21. 3. Remove back panel and check overflow hose and drain hose for leaks. 4. Unlock the hinged lid and check the supply dispenser hoses and hose connections. 5. Clean inlet hose filter screens: a. Turn water off and allow valve to cool, if necessary. b.
Maintenance Quarterly NOTE: Disconnect power to the washer-extractor before performing the quarterly maintenance procedures. 1. Tighten door hinges and fasteners, if necessary. 2. Tighten anchor bolts, if necessary. 3. Verify that the drain motor shield is in place and secure. 4. Check all painted surfaces for bare metal. (Matching gray paint is available from the manufacturer.) ● If bare metal is showing, paint with primer or solvent-based paint.
Maintenance Care of Stainless Steel ● If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the source of the rust may actually be an iron or steel part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or screw. One remedy is to paint all carbon steel parts with a heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners should be used whenever possible. ● Discolorations or heat tint from overheating may be removed by scouring with a powder or by employing special chemical solutions.
