General
These machines are free-swinging models i.e. the outer drum and motor bridge are
suspended in the machine chassis via a spring suspension with a strong spring in
each corner of the machine. Each spring has a shock absorber which dampens the
movement of the machine.
The inner drum is driven by a motor via a V-belt: one motor is used washing and
distribution speed and for extract speeds. The inner drum is mounted in the outer
drum with two heavy duty bearings at the back plate and is sealed with two
V-rings.
The motor is suspended underneath on a motor support with a belt tensioning
device.
The water inlet and drain are both situated under the outer drum. This improves the
flow during filling and prevents water vapour from entering the detergent
compartment.
The robust square door is locked with a handle which is interlocked by a safety
device when the machine is running.
A keypad for operating and programming the machine is fitted at the front of the
machine.
All control and indicating components i.e. relays, delay unit, etc. are assembled
under the top cover, easily accessible from the top of the machine for simplified
servicing.
The machine housing consists of hot-dip galvanised, painted steel plates and
stainless steel sheets, painted on the front and sides. It has a stainless door (and
front, on request).
