General

This machine is a free-swinging model 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 two motors via a V-belt: one motor for washing and

distribution speed and one for extract speed. 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 two motors are suspended underneath on a motor support with a belt

tensioning device. The motors are mechanically coupled to each other with V-belts.

During wash and distribution speed the spin motor transmits power to the drum,

through a clutch arrangement.

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.

The manual push buttons and card programmed control are 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).
