Always disconnect power and water supplies before a service technician performs
any service procedure. Where applicable, steam and/or compressed air supplies
should also be disconnected before service is performed.

Inverter Drive

Machines equipped with AC drives require special attention with regard to the operating envi-
ronment.

1. An especially dusty or linty environment will require more frequent cleaning of the AC drive

cooling fan filter and of the AC drive itself.

2. Power line fluctuations from sources such as an uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can

adversely affect machines equipped with the AC drive. Proper suppression devices should
be utilized on the incoming power to the machine to avoid problems.

3. A clean power supply free from voltage spikes and surges is absolutely essential for ma-

chines equipped with the AC drive. Nonlinear inconsistencies (peaks and valleys) in the
power can cause the AC drive to generate nuisance errors. If voltage is above 230V for
200 V installations or above 460V for 400V installations, a buck/boost transformer is recom-
mended. If voltage is above 240V or 480V, a buck/boost transformer is required unless the
factory advises differently.

4. Sufficient space to perform service procedures and routine preventive maintenance is espe-

cially important for machines equipped with AC drives.

2. Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in the machine. This could result in serious

damage to the wash cylinder.

3. Never stone wash in the machine. It could wear the wash cylinder and serious damage might

occur to the machine.

4. Never use the machine for dyeing nor with harsh chemicals that can cause corrosion and

other health hazards.

5. Never allow children to play on or around this machine. Death or serious injury can result
