Machine Loading - B&C Technologies HE-35 Installation And Operation Manual

The door handle nose bushing should be checked for wear and cracking monthly. It should
be replaced when it is cracked, missing, or worn out.
The door lock tongue and lock pin alignment should be checked monthly and adjusted as
needed.
For detailed instructions on door alignment, request TSB009 when contacting technical ser-
vice.

5.2 Machine Loading

Proper loading of your HE series washer-extractor is a great factor in determining both the perfor-
mance and longevity of your investment. Small loads are wasteful on many levels:
1. Small loads waste water, chemicals, electricity, and most expensively, time. Running your
machine at lower than its rated capacity costs you time and money.
2. Small loads cause more wear and tear on the machine. Small loads are very difficult to
balance properly, and will cause excessive vibration during extract. These vibrations mean
that bearing loads are higher, reducing the life of the main bearings. The extra vibrations also
tend to cause other fasteners on the machine to loosen over time, causing premature wearing
and more frequent service.
3. Smaller loads are not easier for the machine to handle - quite the opposite, they are more
difficult on the entire machine. When the machine is under loaded, it causes greater stress on
the inverter drive, belts, and motor, leading to reduced life of these expensive components.
Refer to figure 5.1 on page 35 for proper loading weights.
If a scale isnt available, fill the machine up with goods to be laundered. Do not attempt to "'stuff"'
the machine full, but ensure that there is no gap at the top of the cylinder.
