Safety
Safe Operating Environment
(Continued)
WARNING
Ensure that a ground wire from a proven
earth ground is connected to the ground lug
near the input power block on this machine.
Without proper grounding, personal injury
from electric shock could occur and machine
malfunctions may be evident.
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.
AC Inverter Drive
Machines equipped with the AC inverter drive
require special attention with regard to the
operating environment.
• An especially dusty or linty environment
will require more frequent cleaning of the
AC inverter drive cooling fan filter and of
the AC inverter drive itself.
• Power line fluctuations from sources such
as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
can adversely affect machines equipped
with the AC inverter drive. Proper
suppression devices should be utilized on
the incoming power to the machine to
avoid problems.

• A clean power supply free from voltage
spikes and surges is absolutely essential for
machines equipped with the AC inverter
drive. Nonlinear inconsistencies (peaks and
valleys) in the power supply can cause
the AC inverter drive to generate
nuisance errors.
If voltage is above 230V for 200V
installations or above 440V for 400V
installations, a buckboost transformer is
recommended. If voltage is above 240 or
480, a buckboost transformer is required.

• Sufficient space to perform service
procedures and routine preventive
maintenance is especially important for
machines equipped with the AC
inverter drive.
Misuse
Never use this machine for any purpose other
than washing fabric.
• Never wash petroleum-soaked rags in the
machine. This could result in an explosion.
• Never wash machine parts or automotive
parts in the machine. This could result in
serious damage to the basket.
• Never allow children to play on or around
this machine. Death or serious injury can
result if children become trapped in the
machine. Do not leave children unattended
while the machine door is open. These
cautions apply to animals as well.
