If you received this manual with your machine, your machine is one of the applicable models.
Housing can descend with power off or on. Manual operation of tilting valves overrides safety interlocks. Improper operation of manual tilting valves may cause the housing to descend. Do not remove guards, covers, or panels. � Do not reach into the machine housing or frame. � Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
WARNING: Confined Space Hazards — Confinement in the cylinder can kill or injure you. Hazards include but are not limited to panic, burns, poisoning, suffo- cation, heat prostration, biological contamination, electrocution, and crushing. Do not attempt unauthorized servicing, repairs, or modification. � Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
WARNING: Crush Hazards — Down limit switches (machines with front and rear tilt cylinders)—Failure of both front or both rear limit switches allows the seated tilt wheels on a tilted machine to lift from their cradles. The housing will fall and lunge forward or rearward. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
Do not attempt unauthorized servicing, repairs, or modification. � Do not use the machine in any manner contrary to the factory instructions. � Use the machine only for its customary and intended purpose. � Understand the consequences of operating manually. � Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
Hazards include but are not limited to panic, burns, poisoning, suffo- cation, heat prostration, biological contamination, electrocution, and crushing. Do not enter the cylinder until it has been thoroughly purged, flushed, � drained, cooled, and immobilized. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
The company that does these procedures must make sure that these procedures do not cause dam- age. Pellerin Milnor Corporation accepts no responsibility for chemical damage to the ma- chines it makes or to the goods in a machine.

After the housing is tilted forward, the stand(s) are placed on the tilt base cross beam. If only one stand is used, it is placed adjacent to the tilt air bag. The safety stand(s) provide pro- tection against the un-powered descent of the housing during maintenance in the event of a leak Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
Reach from the rear of the ma- chine with the lower, rear cov- er removed. 3. Use the controls to carefully lower the housing just until it is resting on the stand(s). 4. Remove electric power from the machine. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
This will also decrease repair work and unwanted shutdowns. Speak to your dealer or the Milnor® Service department if repairs are necessary. WARNING: Mechanisms — can can pull in and mutilate body parts.

If you must remove a guard to get access to the grease plate, prevent access to the machine by other personnel. If you obey these precautions, use the Manual mode to operate the machine at wash speed. Then add grease at the grease plate. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
CAUTION: Failure to remove grease drain plugs — can cause grease to enter the windings and burn out the motor. If the motor has grease drain plugs, remove them before you add � grease. If the motor has grease relief fittings, it is not necessary to remove them. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...

Correct: The belt only touches the side walls. You can put a thin strip of paper into the space between the belt and the pulley. 8... Space With power removed: • Look for dirt, dust, oil, and grease. Remove contamination. Pellerin Milnor Corporation...
A belt must have sufficient tension that there is no slippage on the pulley during operation. If slippage occurs, you can usually tell from the noise. About Component Replacement and Tension Adjustment—Correct adjustment is very impor- tant to the service life of components and operation of the machine. Your Milnor ® dealer can do this work.
Connect chemical tubes only to chemical manifold inlets. � Stop leaks. Remove leaked supplies from surfaces. � ® Speak to your dealer or Milnor if you see corrosion damage. � CAUTION: High water pressure — can cause laundering chemicals to splash on per- sonnel and machine surfaces.
