Hobart FT1000 Manuel D’Utilisation

– 6 –

Immediately after unpacking the dishwasher, check for possible shipping damage. 

If the machine is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact 

the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Before installation, test the electrical service to make sure it agrees with the 

specifications on the machine data plate located on the control box. The electrical

diagram is located inside the control box.

Strainer baskets, strainer pans, pump inlet strainers and wash arms are taped 

and shipped in place. Remove tape, but retain parts in their proper places. If any 

parts are temporarily removed during installation, return to their proper places after 

installation is complete.

Before installing, check to make sure that necessary electrical, plumbing and exhaust 

accommodations are provided at the installation location. Take measurements 

of site’s plumbing, electrical and exhaust connections; then take corresponding 

measurements of the machine to make sure all connections are correctly mated. 

If necessary to lower control box during move-in, slotted holes are provided on the 

control box shipping braces to allow adjustment for clearance height. Refer to page 4.

1.  Using a forklift or pallet jack, raise one end of the skid and unthread the feet 

from the legs as far as possible without removing the foot from the leg. Repeat 

for other end until all feet have been extended out. Lower the skid back to the 

floor. This will now allow the machine to sit on its feet so the skid can easily be

removed.

2.  Remove the two end plate screws from the 2x4 runners, located just inside the 

front and rear legs, at each end of the skid.

3.  Remove all lag bolts from the top of the skid cross members along either the 

front or rear of the machine.

4.  From the opposite side of the machine that the lag bolts were removed in step 

3, pull the entire skid assembly out from beneath the machine section.

5.  Thread the feet into the legs as far as possible; then back out three full turns. 

Standard legs have 3” threaded studs for maximum adjustment. If special feet 

were ordered with extra-long leg shanks to accommodate a highly sloped floor,

install them where the low points in the floor occur at leg locations on the machine

before setting the unit on the floor.

6.  Open all inspection doors and remove all wrapped parts and boxes from inside 

each machine section.
