Operation
6.1 Door Lock Operation
The lock system uses a combination pushbutton / locking bar style mechanism which differenti-
ates it from any other door lock in the industry. This design was developed as a result of analyzing
the shortcomings of other door lock mechanisms on the market. It hence has many fundamental
safety and mechanical advantages.
6.1.1 Opening and Closing the Door
To open the door the machine must not be running a wash program – ”‘Program n.”’ should be
displayed on the EL6. Press the unlock button, located on the top of the door lock box, and rotate
the locking bar counter-clockwise until vertical. The door is now free to open. To close and lock
the door, press the door unlock button, close the door, realease the button and rotate the locking
bar clockwise until horizontal. When a wash program is started, the door lock is securely disabled
so that the door cannot be accidentally opened.
6.1.2 Opening and Closing the Door with Hydraulic Assist Option
To open the door the machine must not be running a wash program – ”‘Program n.”’ should be
displayed on the EL6. Press either the Door Open or the Door Close button on the control pendant
(located on the left front of the machine, just below the control) depending upon the operation
required. Ensure that all personnel are standing clear of the door while it is in operation and
moving to the fully open or fully closed position. The hydraulic system is adjusted at the factory
to provide enough force to rotate the door, however, caution must be used during operation.
