Safe Operating Environment

Machine Location
l 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.
l 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
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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 troughs are
used, they should be covered to support light
foot traffic.
l 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 also 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.
