Right To Left Unit
Verifying System Direction

The Power Prep Unlimited can be built as a “Left to Right” or as a “Right to Left” configuration with a variety of options. Look inside the crate and verify that the configuration of the machine matches the specifications of the order description.

Verifying the Electrical Requirements
Verifying the Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements for the machine are on the machine identification tag located on the side of the wash sink, next to the motor.
The electrical service in the facility where the machine is to be installed must be rated for the capacity shown on the identification tag. This machine will require a permanently mounted disconnect that is in a “liquid tight” enclosure. Do not use an in-line plug for disconnecting the machine from the electrical source.

Contact a licensed and certified electrician to make the enclosure installation, determine the appropriate circuit breaker (overcurrent protection), and wire size for the machine’s electrical service.

The electrical requirements of your new system are on the serial number plate located on the end of the wash sink near the front, adjacent to the control panel enclosure. They are also shown inside the control panel enclosure itself.

The system is completely pre-wired and tested at the factory, and a hard-wired connection from an appropriate power source is all that is required.
The installer is to provide a NEMA 3X disconnect that should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Properly sized watertight conduit, fittings and parts are required, as well as the appropriate gauge wire.
If your system is a “left-to-right” unit, you should locate the disconnect at the left end of the system. (The opposite would be true for a “right-to-left” system.)
Ideally, the disconnect should be located on the wall directly behind the pump motor and control panel provided this location is easily accessible by the operator and does not interfere with the faucet.
A wiring diagram is located in the system’s control panel enclosure.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE USING A POWER CORD AND PLUG OR AN EXTENSION CORD OF ANY KIND.

POST-UNCRATING INSTRUCTIONS

UNCRATING

Remove From Crate
Remove the Power Prep Unlimited from the shipping crate. Sharp staples and nails are used to crate the machine, and care must be taken in handling boards and other packing materials to keep from creating a puncture wound or other injury to people or damage to the equipment. Discard the crating materials in an appropriate disposal area or container.

Inspect the unit and packages shipped in the sink to be certain there was no damage created by the shipping company. If there are signs of shipping damage, contact the shipping company before proceeding.
Remove the packages from the wash sink and locate the box labeled “OPEN FIRST”. This box will contain the fasteners and sealant that will be required for assembly of the Power Prep Unlimited.
Uncrating

IMPORTANT: DO NOT BEND THE EDGE OF THE BACKSPLASH WHEN LAYING THE SINK ON ITS BACK.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION

Faucet Installation

Open the faucet package and locate the water connection elbows, faucet body and escutcheon assemblies. Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the elbows and insert them though the backsplash of the sink.
Faucet Installation

Loosely fit the escutcheons to the elbows and the faucet body. When the alignment of the body with the sink is confirmed, tighten the escutcheons onto the elbows and faucet body. From the back side of the backsplash, tighten the brass nuts on the elbows when the faucet body is parallel with the rim of the sink.

IM-POWER PREP UNLIMITED

Complete the faucet assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions which are included with the faucet. Attach water lines to the faucet so that the lines extend below the sink. This will make the plumbing easier to complete when the machine is placed against the wall.
Assembly instruction

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: THE POWER PREP UNLIMITED SINK ASSEMBLY MUST BE LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND FRONT TO REAR WITH ALL THE FEET MAKING FIRM CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR.

FINAL INSTALLATION STEPS

Machine Placement
Position the Power Prep Unlimited so that the back splash rests against the wall and is placed according to the floor plan or customer’s selected location. Examine the drain and water supply lines to determine that the plumbing can be completed when the Power Prep Unlimited is in the final location. Verify that the plumbing from the faucet can be reached with the sink against the wall.

Downturned-Backsplash (“Z-Clip” Installation)

If the Power Prep has an upturned backsplash, skip this step.

If the Power Prep has a backsplash that is downturned, it will be necessary to attach the provided Z-Clips to the wall. Using a level, adjust the feet on the Power Prep until the front rim and the rear rim of the sink are level. The sink must also be level front to back. Measure from the floor to the top edge of the backsplash, and then move the sink away from the wall. Locate the Z-Clips by marking a level line on the wall approximately 3/32” below the height of the backsplash top edge. Locate the wall studs and mark the locations. Align top edge of Z-Clips to the marked line and securely fasten the Z-Clips to the wall, using fasteners provided. Install screws directly to the wall’s studs whenever possible. The Z-Clips should be spaced as evenly as possible. Move the sink to the wall and lift the back edge over the Z-Clips.

Upturned-Backsplash

If the Power Prep has a downturned backsplash, skip this step.

Using a level, adjust the feet on the Power Prep until the front rim and the rear rim of the sink are level. The sink must also be level front to back. Locate the wall studs and mark their location on the top edge of the back splash. Measure down ¾” from the top of the backsplash and then drill ¼” diameter holes through the back splash in line with the center of the studs. Use the included #10 stainless steel screws to attach the Power Prep directly to the wall.

Seal around the Backsplash and Screws

Examine the installation to see that the wall and backsplash are clean and free of dust and oils. Seal the top and sides of the backsplash to the wall using the clear NSF approved sealant provided with the Power Prep. Seal around the screw heads to be sure they do not allow water to leak behind the backsplash. Wipe off all excess sealant leaving a smooth, clean and sanitary bead of sealant on all the edges.

Rinse Riser and Anchor Installation

Follow the faucet manufacturer’s directions on the assembly of the faucet and riser. Position the riser supports on the wall using the flange plate provided with the riser  assembly. It may be necessary to cut the support rods to a shorter length in order to fit between the wall and the riser. Attach the riser support to the wall with screws.
