opened until the cycle has finished.
A vacuum breaker installed in the inlet plumbing
prevents the backflow of water.

Supply
The operator can either connect external liquid
supplies to the machine or fill the supply dispenser
with liquid or dry supplies. The supply dispenser's
nozzles flush the compartments with water at the
appropriate times throughout a cycle.

Wash
The basket includes ribs that lift the laundry from the
wash water. The laundry then tumbles back into the
bath.
In 2-speed and variable-speed models, 1 dual-speed
motor drives the basket's shaft with a V-belt.
20-60 pound capacity models use 2 bearings that are
held in place by a single cast-iron trunnion that is
bolted to the frame. 80 and 125-pound capacity
models use 2 flange-type bearings that are bolted to
the frame.

Troubleshooting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
· Disconnect electrical power to the washer-extractor before servicing it.
· Close the gas shut-off valve to the washer-extractor (when applicable) before servicing it.
· Never start the washer-extractor with any guards/panels removed.
· Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer-extractor is properly grounded.
