Machine Location
• Foundation . The concrete floor must be of
sufficient strength and thickness to handle
the floor loads generated by the high
extract speeds of the machine.
• Service/Maintenance Space . Provide
sufficient space to allow comfortable
performance of service procedures and
routine preventive maintenance.
This is especially important in connection
with machines equipped with an AC
inverter drive.
Consult installation instructions for
specific details.
Input and Output Services
• Water Pressure . Best performance will be
realized if water is provided at a pressure of
30 – 85 psi (2.0 – 5.7 bar). Although the
machine will function properly at lower
pressure, increased fill times will occur.
Water pressure higher than 100 psi
(6.7 bar) may result in damage to machine
plumbing. Component failure(s) and
personal injury could result.
• Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure . Best
performance will be realized if steam is
provided at a pressure of 30 – 80 psi
(2.0 – 5.4 bar). Steam pressure higher than
125 psi (8.5 bar) may result in damage
to steam components and may cause
personal injury.
For machines equipped with optional steam
heat, install piping in accordance with
approved commercial steam practices.
Failure to install the supplied steam filter
may void the warranty.
• Compressed Air . For machines requiring
compressed air service, best performance
will be realized if air is provided at a
pressure of 80 – 100 psi (5.4 – 6.7 bar).
Large capacity machines could experience
door seal failure if compressed air service
is interrupted.
• Drainage System . Provide drain lines or
troughs large enough to accommodate the
total number of gallons that could be
dumped if all machines on the site
drained at the same time from the highest
attainable level. If drain troughs are used,
they should be covered to support light foot
traffic.
• Power . For personal safety and for proper
operation, the machine must be grounded
in accordance with state and local codes.
The ground connection must be to a proven
earth ground, not to conduit or
water pipes. Do not use fuses in place of
the circuit breaker. An easy-access cutoff
switch should be provided.
Replace all panels that are removed to
perform service and maintenance
procedures. Do not operate the machine
with missing guards or with broken or
missing parts. Do not bypass any
safety devices.
