IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1-4
Machine Location
1. Foundation.
The concrete floor must be of sufficient strength and thickness to handle the floor loads
generated by the machine at high extract speeds.
2. Service / Maintenance Space.
Provide sufficient space to allow comfortable performance of service procedures and routine
maintenance. This is especially important in connection with machine equipped with AC inverter
driver. Consult installation instructions for specific details.
Replace all panels that are removed to perform service 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.
Input and output services
1. Water pressure.
Best performance will be realized if water or provided at a pressure of 30 – 85 psi (2.0 – 5.7
bar). Although the machine will function properly at lower pressure, increased fill time will occur.
Water pressure higher than 120 psi (8.0 bar) may result in damage to machine plumbing.
Components failure (s) and personal injuries.
2. Optional Steam heating pressure.
Best performance will be realized if steam pressure 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 steam components and may
cause personal injuries. 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.
3. 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 failures if compressed air service is interrupted.
4. Drainage System.
Provide drain lines or trough large enough to accommodate the total quantity of water 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.
5. 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 conduits
or water popes. An easy – access disconnect switch should be provided.
