WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
● Always load empty baskets on appropriate loading cart or surface.
● Do not place empty baskets on the conveyor modules to load soiled articles. If you
do, the proximity sensor will detect the baskets and indexing will automatically start.
● Maximum operating weight, including weight of basket and load, is 61 kg (135 lb) for
the AMSCO 7052HP Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector and 73 kg (160 lb) for the
AMSCO 7053HP Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector.
● If an obstruction is present in the wash chamber door, the door safety bar will detect
an obstruction and the door will automatically stop from closing. Wait until door is
fully open before removing obstruction.
This procedure is used if the washer/disinfector is equipped with an ATLAS Workflow Automation Vehicle or with a
SCS Conveyor System and the automation is set on load side of washer/disinfector.
If automation is set only on unload side of washer/disinfector, refer to Section 4.3, Loading Washer/Disinfector Manually.
Ensure appropriate cycle parameters are set in the control before beginning operation of the washer/disinfector.
