LavoWash OPL Quick Start Guide
This is a quick start guide. This is not a full manual.

Mounting The Dispenser

  1. Using a level and the mounting template provided, mark the location to mount the dispenser.
  2. Use a power drill with a 3/8” drill bit to punch holes in the wall.
  3. Insert the anchors into the holes.
  4. Mount the brackets with the 1/4” anchors provided.
  5. If using the older style flush manifold (210-LAU-FM4 or -FM6), make sure the blue solenoid cover and valve are securely mounted to the right side of the dispenser BEFORE hanging the unit on the wall.
  6. Hang the dispenser as shown in Pictures 1 and 2 to the right.

Flush Manifold

  1. When mounting the flush flute, use one bracket and mount it where you would like. Use the flute as a guide to mark the hole for the second mounting bracket.
  2. Make sure to use a level before punching holes in the wall.
  3. Use a 3/8” drill bit and drill to put holes in the wall.
  4. Insert the anchors provided in the kit.
  5. Push the manifold into the brackets and secure the clips.

Wiring The Unit (Disconnect all electrical power before starting)
Solenoid

  1. Use the wire from the solenoid valve. Run the leads through the strain relief on the left side of the LavoWash OPL.
  2. Locate the SOL terminals on the top right of the first circuit board—see the picture to the left.
  3. If using an older style flush manifold (210-LAU-FM4 or -FM6), connect the blue wire to (D7) and the brown wire to (M4). If using a newer style interface (210-FM4 or -FM6), connect the red wire to (D7) and the black wire to (M4).

Signal Interface Box

  1. Locate the supply lines from the washer.
  2. Use the label provided on the signal interface box to match the wire color with the pump. There is 2 of every color—one is the LINE and one is common. The common is noted with COM typed on the common wire.
  3. If the WASHER has ONE common, use a wire nut to tie together all of the commons on the signal interface box for the pumps you will be using.

Plumbing The Unit (helpful tips)
Chemical tubing:

  1. From the chemical bucket to the barb is 3/8” ID.
  2. From the output of the pump to the flush manifold is a 3/8” ID.
  3. If you are not using a flush, the output barb is 3/8” ID
  4. If you are using a flush manifold, the output barb is a 3/8” ID.

Solenoid valve:

  1. The inlet water connection is 3/4” GHT.
  2. The flush water line to the washer is a 3/8” barb connection.
