Operation

Two-Way Tilt Option

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

The forward tilt is used primarily for unloading. The reverse tilt is used for loading the washer-extractor.

To load the washer-extractor, follow this procedure:

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 left to the reverse tilt position. Refer to Figure 9.

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

4.Load the washer-extractor.

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

6.Unlatch and close loading door.

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.

CAUTION

On cabinet freestanding models with tilt option, the loading door must be securely latched in the open position before the machine is tilted. A freely swinging door could cause personal injury.

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.

Two-Way Tilt Inductive Proximity Sensor Adjustment

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) uses four inductive proximity sensors on the two-way tilt platform to detect the position of the frame and prevent unsafe operation. These sensors MUST be in place and operational.

Front Down and Rear Down Sensor

Adjustment

The front down sensor is located next to the front left lock cylinder mounted on the lower (floor) frame. The rear down sensor is located next to the rear left lock cylinder mounted on the lower (floor) frame. Adjust these two sensors so that the plastic face is 4 to 6 mm from the edge of the upper channel when fully seated on the lower frame. The sensor LED should be on when the frame is fully seated and should turn off before the machine has lifted more than 3/4 in. out of the associated pivot point.

Seated Sensor Adjustment

Adjust the seated sensor so that the plastic face is 4 to 6 mm from the edge of the upper channel when the frame is fully seated. The sensor LED should be on when the frame is fully seated and should turn off before the upper channel edge has lifted more than 1/2 in. at the sensor face.

Up Sensor Adjustment

Adjust this sensor so that it is on when the washer- extractor is fully tilted in either direction and off when the washer-extractor is seated or in transition from one position to another. This adjustment will vary somewhat from machine to machine because it is impossible to seat the washer-extractor on the tilt frame in exactly the same relative position every time.
