INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

VISUAL INSPECTION: Before installing the unit, check the container and the machine for any damage. A damaged container
could be an indication of damage to the unit. If there is damage to both the container and the unit, DO NOT throw away the
container. The dishmachine has been inspected and packed at the factory with the expectation that it will arrive to you in new,
undamaged condition. However, rough handling by carriers or others may damage the unit while in transit. If this situation does
occur, do not return the unit to Ecolab; instead contact the carrier and ask them to inspect the damage to the unit and to com-
plete an inspection report. You must contact the carrier within 48 hours of receiving the machine.Also, contact your Ecolab rep-
resentative.
UNPACKING THE DISHMACHINE: Remove the machine from the container and inspect for any missing parts. If an item
appears to be missing, contact your Ecolab representative immediately to report it.
LEVEL THE DISHMACHINE: The dishmachine(s) covered in this manual are designed to operate on
a level surface. Ensure that the machine is level from side to side and from front to back; adjust the
unit’s bullet feet as required. Failure to level the dishmachine may cause decreased washing perfor-
mance.
PLUMBING THE DISHMACHINE: All plumbing connections must comply with all applicable local, state and national plumbing
codes. The plumber is responsible for flushing the incoming water line prior to connecting it to remove all foreign debris that
may get trapped in the valves or cause an obstruction.Any valves that are fouled by matter left in the water line and the expens-
es resulting are not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN LINE: The Omega 5 drain requires a minimum 2” NPTpiping that is pitched
at least 1/4” per foot. There must also be an air gap between the machine drain line and the floor sink
or drain. If a grease trap is required by code, it should have a flow capacity of 5 gallons per minute.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION: Install the water supply line (1/2” NPT minimum) to the dishmachine
line y-strainer using copper pipe. It is recommended that a water shut-off valve be installed between the
main supply and the machine to allow for service. The water supply line must be capable of 20 ±5 PSI
“flow” pressure at the recommended temperature as indicated on the data plate.
In areas where the water pressure fluctuates or is greater than the recommended pressure, it is sug-
gested that a water pressure regulator be installed. The Omega 5 does not come with a water pressure
regulator as standard equipment.
It is also recommended that a shock absorber (not supplied with the Omega 5) be installed in the incom-
ing water line. This prevents line hammer (hydraulic shock), induced by the solenoid valve, which can
cause damage to the equipment.
PLUMBING CHECK: Slowly turn on the water supply to the machine after connecting the incoming fill line and drain line. Check
for leaks and repair as required. Leaks must be repaired prior to placing the machine in operation.
