The mechanism is controlled via a pendant switch (refer to Figure 9), which is suspended from a point just above the electrical panel on the left side of the washer-extractor. Access height has been determined based upon an average-sized person.

The tilt mechanism is pneumatically operated. Air- stroke actuators raise and lower the machine when the tilt is selected. On two-way tilt mechanisms, pneumatic pins positioned at strategic points along the mechanism frame allow it to achieve both forward and reverse tilt. When reverse tilt is selected, pins in the rear of the mechanism engage and prevent the rear of the machine from being raised. When forward tilt is selected, pins in the front of the mechanism prevent the front of the machine from being raised.

Operation

NOTE: When the washer-extractor/tilt mechanism assembly is lowered, it must properly seat itself in order to be operable. Improper seating will result in total inoperability of the WE-6 microcomputer, in which case it will be necessary to raise and lower the assembly again. Further, once the assembly is raised, it must be lowered and properly seated before it can be raised again.

Forward Tilt Option

Washer-extractors equipped with the forward tilt option are capable of tilting as much as 13° forward.

Upon completion of a cycle, the basket can be unloaded as follows:

1.Open the loading door and secure it to the door latch on the right side of the washer-extractor.

2.Turn the selector dial on the pendant switch right to the forward tilt position. Refer to Figure 9.

3.While holding down the green ENABLE button, press the black FORWARD button. Refer to Figure 9. The washer-extractor will slowly tilt forward, and the basket will rotate clockwise.

4.Unload the washer-extractor.

5.To lower the washer-extractor, turn the selector dial back to the center position. Refer to Figure 9.

6.Unlatch and close loading door.
