Safety Information

Explanation of Safety Messages

Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING”

and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,

are found in this manual and on machine decals. These

precautions are intended for the personal safety of the

operator, user, servicer and those maintaining the

machine.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”

and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used

to inform the reader of specific procedures where

minor machine damage will occur if the procedure

is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate

installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is

flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is

moving.

DANGER indicates the presence of a

hazard that will cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the danger is ignored.

DANGER

WARNING indicates the presence of a

hazard that can cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the warning is ignored.

WARNING

CAUTION indicates the presence of a

hazard that will or can cause minor

personal injury or property damage if the

caution is ignored.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your washer, follow these basic

precautions:

Introduction

The “A” electronic control is composed of the

electronic control unit and the output board with

wiring harness. Only an authorized person should

service components inside the machine. TURN OFF

POWER, open lid and remove any cover present.

Electronic Control Unit

This portion of the control contains the “intelligence” –

the micro-controller and the miscellaneous components

on the printed circuit (PC) board. The board has a

metal cover, which MUST be in place at all times

during machine operation. Operation of the machine

without this cover installed will void the warranty.

The control unit monitors and responds to input, gives

information about the status of the washer and

monitors and responds to inputs from the user

interface (keypad). The control provides signals to the

control output unit, which in turn operates the

components that control the machine functions. This is

located behind the machine control panel.

Control Output Fuse Board

This portion of the control contains the power supply

for the control unit, and also the switching devices

which power the components in the machine, all of

which are on the output PC board. The switching

devices are controlled by the control unit, and are solid

state.

Harnessing

Wiring harnesses are modular – harnesses common to

various configurations are similar, while those specific

to a certain configuration can be added. There are

harnesses for inputs to the control unit, for outputs

from the control power/output unit to the machine

components, and for the main incoming power to the

control power/output unit.

Delivery Inspection

Upon delivery, visually inspect crate, protective cover,

and unit for any visible shipping damage. If the crate,

protective cover, or unit is damaged or signs of

possible damage are evident, have the carrier note the

condition on the shipping papers before the shipping

receipt is signed, or advise the carrier of the condition

as soon as it is discovered.

Remove the crate and protective cover as soon after

delivery as possible. If any damage is discovered upon

removal of the crate and/or protective cover, advise the

carrier and file a written claim immediately.

maintenance procedures.

1. Each month OR after every 200 hours of

operation, lubricate bearings. (Locate the bearing

lubrication decal at the rear of the left side of the

control module, as viewed from the front of the

washer-extractor.)

The grease must have the following

characteristics:

●NLGI Grade 2

●Lithium-based

●Water-insolubl

●Anti-rusting

●Anti-oxidizing

●Mechanically stable

Maintenance

F232227 © Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC – DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

The grease must have adequate base oil viscosity

with one of the following ratings:

●ISO VG 150 (135–165 cSt at 40°C or

709–871 SUS at 100°F)

●ISO VG 220 (198–242 cSt at 40°C or

1047–1283 SUS at 100°F)

●An SAE 40 rating is also acceptable as long

as the cSt or SUS values are within the

specified ranges.

Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only

two strokes.

2. Clean the AC drive cooling fins:

a. Remove the AC drive box cover.

b. Blow the fins clean using compressed air at a

pressure of 60 – 90 psi or canned compressed

air. Use care to avoid damaging cooling fan or

other components.

NOTE: No amount of visible foreign matter should

be allowed to accumulate on the fins or the finger

guard.

3. Use the following procedures to determine if

belts require replacement or adjustment. Call a

qualified service technician in either case.

a. Check belts for uneven wear and frayed

edges.

b. After disconnecting power to the washer-

extractor and removing all panels necessary

for access to the drive belt, use one of the

following methods to verify that belts are

properly tensioned:

●Tension Gauge. Belt tension

measurements should be taken as close to

the center of the belt span as possible.

Measurements can be performed with the

Belt Tension Checker. Make adjustments for

the motor pulley diameter and belt type on

the machine.

If belt tension adjustment is required,

loosen motor mounting bolts and slide

motor along motor plate to change the belt

tension. Retighten motor mounting bolts

before verifying belt tension.

●Deflection. Refer to Figure 6. Loosen

motor mounting bolts and slide motor along

motor plate to change belt span length. Belt

tension measurements should be taken as

close to the center of the belt span as

possible. For every inch of belt span length,

the belt should deflect 1/64 of an inch, or

0.40 millimeter, with an exerted force of

5.25 pounds for a new belt or 3.5 pounds for

a used belt. A belt with a span length of 20

inches should deflect

20/64 of an inch, or 7.8 millimeters. The

belt(s) should be as loose as possible

without allowing slippage during peak load

condition. An initial (run-in) force of 7 lbs.

should be used to set the belt tension. An

operating (normal) force of 5 lbs. should be

used after the washer-extractor has been

operated for a few hours.

Maintenance

Care of Stainless Steel

Maintain the natural beauty of stainless steel and

prolong its service life by following these tips:

●Ordinary deposits of dirt and grease can be

removed with detergent and water. The metal

should be thoroughly rinsed and dried after

washing. Periodic cleaning will help to maintain

the bright surface appearance and prevent

corrosion.

●Contact with dissimilar metals should be avoided

whenever possible. This will help prevent

galvanic corrosion when salty or acidic solutions

are present.

●Salty or acidic solutions should not be allowed to

evaporate and dry on stainless steel. They may

cause corrosion. Ensure that the stainless steel is

wiped clean of acidic solution residues.

●Deposits that adhere to the stainless steel should

be removed, especially from crevices and

corners. When using abrasive cleaners, always

rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”

of the stainless steel to avoid scratch marks.

Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on

the stainless steel. Use stainless steel wool or soft

non-metal bristle brushes.

●If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the

source of the rust may actually be an iron or steel

part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or

screw. One remedy is to paint all carbon steel

parts with a heavy protective coating. Stainless

steel fasteners should be used whenever possible.

●Discolorations or heat tint from overheating may

be removed by scouring with a powder or by

employing special chemical solutions.

●Sanitizers or sterilizing solutions should not be

left in stainless steel equipment for prolonged

periods of time. They often contain chlorine,

which may cause corrosion. The stainless steel

should be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly of any

solution containing chlorine.

●When an external chemical supply system is

used, make certain that no siphoning of

chemicals occurs when the washer-extractor is

not in use. Highly concentrated chemicals can

cause severe damage to stainless steel and other

components within the washer-extractor. Damage

of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s

warranty. Locate the pump below the washer-

extractor’s injection point to prevent siphoning of

chemicals into the washer-extractor. Refer to the

chemical injection supply system in the

Installation Manual.
