4. TILT MODELS
ATTENTION!
4.1. TILT models specific safety instructions
During the assembling and operation verification of the TILT system strictly follow the safety precautions
indicated at the beginning of this manual.
The transport and assembling operations of tilt components must be carried out by the Authorised Technical
Service.
Due to mass weight, be especially careful when carrying out these operations. Remember that weights and
measures of TILT models can be found in the Installation specifications, section 1.4.
To avoid any risk during the operation of verification of the TILT SYSTEM please follow these instructions:
 Keep away of the rear of the washer during the tilt movement. Because of the washer's tilting movement,
there is crushing and shearing hazard between the tilting elements and the building elements.
 The TILT SYSTEM has JUST been designed to facilitate the washer's loading and unloading
operations.
 DO NOT USE the washer until all the guards are properly located and adjusted
 In particular take special care to the tilt hinge guards.
 DO NOT MISLEAD NOR CANCEL THE POSITION DETECTORS located on the machine brackets.
 DO NOT MISLEAD NOR CANCEL THE PUSH-BUTTON that activate the drum's rotation with the door
open.
 The pressure of the pneumatic circuit specific for tilting is controlled by a pressure regulator
located on the electrical panel, with a fixed adjustment. DO NOT MODIFY NOR MANIPULATE THIS
REGULATOR.
 Because of the facility of rotating the drum with door open, during loading and unloading
operations NEVER MORE THAN ONE PERSON WILL OPERATE WITH THE MACHINE.
 The washer is protected against possible incorrect handling, so machine must be in horizontal
position before selecting a tilting movement or starting a wash program.
4.2. TILT system description
Set of components that, using the strength of two pneumatic actuators, permit a double tilt movement for the
whole of the machine, forwards and backwards to easily load and unload the washer.
Four position detectors, one at each washer's supports, ensure the correct operation of the tilt system, and a
balanced position during the wash cycle.
The washer's electrical control permits the drum's rotation and reverse by two hold-to-run push-buttons and
the fabric soaking when loaded to reduce the volume.
The bath used to soaking the linen is not kept inside the washer when the wash cycle starts.
4.3. TILT system specific protection elements
 Fixed guards: Covers at the machine sides. Protect the user from the contact with dangerous points and
spattering.
 Moving guards: Front and side covers that permit the washer tilting. Protect the user from the contact with
dangerous points and spattering.
 Pneumatic actuator limit switches. Prevent the excessive expansion of actuators and the excessive tilting
of the washer.
 Position detector microswitches. Control the position of the tilt system.
 Pneumatic actuator pressure regulators. Limit the air pressure of pneumatic actuators. Adjustment
value: 5 kg/cm
2
(71 PSI). DO NOT MODIFY NOR MANIPULATE THIS REGULATOR.
4.4. Washer location
To determine the washer location bear in mind the machine's tilting movements. Refer to movement values
on figure 29 (section 4.5)
