Explanation of Safety Messages
Important Safety Instructions
Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,”
and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:
W023
DANGER
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
DANGER indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the danger is ignored.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-

explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
WARNING
WARNING indicates the presence of a
hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the warning is ignored.
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates the presence of a
hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the
caution is ignored.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.

Installation
This manual is designed as a guide to the installation
and maintenance of the UW35 and UW60 2 speed
rigid-mount washer-extractor.
Water enters the machine through electromechanical
water valves. Vacuum breakers are installed in the
water-inlet plumbing to prevent backflow of water.
All information, illustrations, and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latest
product information available at the time of printing.
We reserve the right to make changes at any time
without notice.
A motorized drain valve holds water in the machine
during the wash, soak, and rinse steps. The drain valve
is normally open, which means that it closes only
when power is applied, thus allowing the machine to
drain in the event of a power failure.
A door-lock system prevents opening of the stainless
steel door when a cycle is in progress. It also prevents
operation of the machine when the door is open. The
doorbox contains the door-lock microswitch, door-
closed magnetic switch, and the door unlock solenoid.
Machine Overview
The design of the washer-extractor emphasizes
performance reliability and long service life. The
cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of
stainless steel. The washer-extractor is mounted on a
welded base frame which supports the bearings,
cylinder, and shell.
The UW35 shaft seal assembly includes two lip seals
integrated into the cast-iron bearing housing. Each seal
has two lips which make contact with a polished sleeve
mounted to the shaft.
Electrical controls for the washer-extractor are housed
in a separate enclosure located on the top of the
machine. The controls are accessed by removing the
top cover from the control module.
The UW60 shaft seal assembly includes a brass collar
held in place on the cylinder shaft with set screws. The
collar has a flange with a ceramic ring which makes
contact with a spring-loaded carbon face seal enclosed
in a nylon housing mounted on the rear of the shell.
The collar contains two internal O-rings which
maintain contact with the cylinder shaft.
One 2 speed motor drives the cylinder via a V-drive
system. The cylinder is supported via the shaft by two
bearings. The UW35 uses two ball bearing sets held in
place by a cast-iron housing that is bolted to the A-
frame. The UW60 uses two flange-mounted, spherical
roller bearings bolted to the A-frame.
The polypropylene supply dispenser is mounted on the
right side of the washer-extractor, viewed from the
front. The dispenser has five supply compartments,
numbered 1–5, starting from the rear of the machine.
The compartments hold plastic supply cups that are
used for either liquid or dry supplies. A nozzle flushes
supplies from the cups with water for the time
programmed in the cycle.
On the UW60, a balance switch is installed between
the faces of the A-frame to signal the controls to slow
the machine when a severely out-of-balance load
occurs during extract.
The cylinder is constructed with lifters or ribs that lift
the laundry from the bath solution when the cylinder
rotates at slow speed and then allow the laundry to
tumble back into the bath. This mechanical action
accomplishes the washing function. The cylinder is
perforated, allowing the water to drain from within
during the wash and extract steps.
Liquid supplies can be injected directly into the cups
by a customer-supplied external chemical supply
system. Five hose strain reliefs on top of the supply
dispenser facilitate connection to an external supply
system. A terminal strip inside a compartment
attached to the left side of the control module, viewed
from the rear of the washer-extractor, provides
connection points for external supply signals. On all P
and B models this terminal strip is located on the rear
of the module.
The spray rinse feature (available only on S and P
computers) consists of a fiber-reinforced clear hose
connected to the center of the door glass and to both a
hot and cold water inlet valve. A hemispherically-
shaped spray nozzle inside the door glass produces a
fan-action water spray which disperses rinse water
throughout the load.

Table 3
The washer-extractor must be anchored to a smooth
level surface so that the entire base of the machine is
supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not
support the washer-extractor on only four points.)
A concrete base designed to elevate the washer-
extractor to a comfortable and more accessible height
for loading and unloading laundry may be used. Care
must be exercised in the design of such a base due to
the force exerted by the machine during extract. This
base must be adequately tied in to the existing floor
with rebar.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are
when designing floors and foundations.

Installation
If proper drain size is not available or practical, a surge
tank is required. A surge tank in conjunction with a
sump pump should be used when gravity drainage is
not possible, such as in below-ground-level
installations.
Drain Connection
A drain system of adequate capacity is essential to
washer-extractor performance. Ideally, the water
should empty through a vented pipe directly into a
and drain trough configurations.
Before any deviation from specified installation
procedures is attempted, the customer or installer
should contact the distributor.
Increasing the drain hose length, installing elbows, or
causing bends will decrease drain flow rate and
increase drain times, impairing washer-extractor
performance.
