SECTION 2: INSTALLATION/OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE JFT DISHMACHINE (CONTINUED)
gram to see the order in which the provided washers, wheels, locknuts, and plate connectors are arranged for proper operation. Continue this process of pulling sec- tions through and connecting sections until the belt is completely installed. Note: Take care that the belt wheels are guided correctly at the unload section and fall with- in the depressions on the drive wheels (Please refer to the page entitled “Unload End Assembly”). The wheels must be placed on top of the lower belt rails before contin- uing the process. When the lead end of the transport belt returns back to the load end of the machine, ensure that it will overlap the last section of the belt added. Remove as many rod sections of either end as to make the connection between both ends.
Pay attention to the
The dishmachine has two transport speeds. The transport speed can be adjust- ed during operation from low to high or vice versa by adjusting the conveyor speed switch located on the electrical cabinet.
BELT TENSION: It must be possible to lift up the belt in the section of the free feed- ing or discharge zone by approximately 2” to 4”. The tension station can be adjusted
by loosening the three bolts on each of the two slotted adjusting plates. Pull each plate back until all wheels along the plates perimeter are firmly touching. Tighten the bolts. Visually inspect the belt for parallelism and ensure the plates are evenly tight- ened by measuring their distance from the runoff sheet or the end plate. Check tension by pulling the belt off of the top rails by hand. There should be no greater than a 4” separation. If there is, loosen the slotted adjusting plates, remove one rod section of the belt and repeat the tensioning process.
INSTALLATION OF DRIVE MOTOR CHAIN: Install chain around large gear. Lift gear motor from bottom to apply tension to drive springs. Install chain over small gear and release gear motor. Drive springs will automatically tighten chain to it’s proper tension.
VENTILATION OF DISHMACHINE: The dishmachine should be located with provisions for venting into an ade- quate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit efficient removal of the condensation exhaust. Ensure that the exhaust system is acceptable in accor- dance with all applicable codes and standards.
This units covered in this manual have the following exhaust requirements:
FPM (INDIRECT) | 1200 |
The exhaust system must be sized to handle this volume for the dishmachine to operate as it was designed to.
