cylinder. Once you have done your preoperational
checks, you are ready to operate the washer
extractor using the following procedures:
1. Open the shell door.
2. Energize the control switch; make sure all
other switches are in the OFF position before
doing this function.
3. Rotate the cylinder with the jog switch,
used simultaneously with the reverse or forward
switch until the cylinder door is opposite the shell
door opening.
4. Turn off the control switch.
5. Open the cylinder door. CAUTION:
NEVER place hands inside the shell or cylinder
while the control switch is energized.
6. Load washer to rated capacity.
7. Mark on the washer with chalk what is
in each pocket (each cylinder door is numbered
1, 2, or 3).
8. Close the door to each cylinder; latch it
securely.
9. Close the outer shell door.
10. Add required supplies to the automatic
dispenser; make sure you place them in the correct
bin.
11. Use the drum control disk to set the
programmer chart to the beginning; make sure the
master switch to the programmer is off while
doing this.
12. Energize the control switch, master
switch, and timer switch (in that order).
From this time on, the operator normally will
not have to return until the signal sounds. The
bell to this signal can be silenced by securing
power or depressing the button.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the automatic timer is inoperative, you will
have to operate the machine manually. Manual
mode should not be used when the washer timer
is operating properly. The controls and switches
as mentioned earlier when used properly allow the
operator to use the manual mode. Looking back
at automatic operation you should follow all steps
up to and including step 9 and then follow these
instructions:
10. Turn the control switch on.
11. Start the wash motor by energizing the
wash and master switches.
12. Make sure all other switches are off and
the drain switch is closed.
13. Add water to the proper level and at the
proper temperature, as indicated on the wash
formula. If the water is not hot enough, use steam
to bring it to the desired temperature.
14. Add chemicals as prescribed by the
washing formula, through the supply door when
the cylinder is passing the supply door in the
downward direction.
15. Start timing the bath (follow formula).
16. Open the drain switch and drain the water
when time for each cycle elapses.
17. Permit sufficient time for the water to
drain from the shell after the water level reads
zero, and then close the dump valve.
18. Repeat steps 14 through 17 until the wash
formula reaches the extract cycle of the formula.
19. Leave the valve open for more complete
drainage after the last bath.
20. Start the extraction cycle. Move the switch
to extract position. When extraction is completed,
move the switch to WASH or INCH position as
desired.
21. Secure the power, loosen the handwheel,
and open the outer shell door only after the
washer cylinder comes to a complete stop. Use
the jog switch to align the cylinder doors, then
open and unload each pocket.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
Before the wash in the washer extractor is
done, attending laundry personnel should have
three piles of sorted and weighed soiled laundry
ready for loading. The unloading process is just
the opposite of the loading process. Make sure
when you open the outer shell door that the
cylinder has come to a complete stop and all
switches are de-energized. You are now ready to
line up the cylinder doors with the outer shell door
for unloading purposes. CAUTION: NEVER stick
any part of your hand or arm inside the shell door
if any of the washer extractor controls are
energized. After unloading the freshly laundered
clothing, it should be routed to the next processing
station and the presorted and weighed soiled
laundry loaded. The clean laundry should be
routed swiftly to prevent it getting mixed up with
other laundry. It is either routed to the press deck
for processing on the presses or flatwork ironer
or placed in the dryer for drying.
