American Dryer Corp M31 manual Tumbler Alignment, Examples

Page 7

TUMBLER ALIGNMENT:

Proper alignment is achieved by making the gap between the tumbler and openings in the front and rear bulkheads equal on all sides.

The front to bulkhead may be checked for accuracy by using a thickness gauge. The rear gap is not accessible. Marking the position of the rear wheel brackets before removing the brackets will help in replacing the tumbler back into it’s original position when the wheel brackets are reinstalled.

Adjust the tumbler position by loosening the three bolts and forcing the wheel assembly toward the center of the dryer to raise the tumbler and to move it away from the side. A large screwdriver can provide the necessary leverage. Adjustment of the front of the tumbler is made by equalizing the gap on the top, bottom, left and right by moving the wheel assemblies.

EXAMPLES:

In the illustrations to the right, both wheel assemblies must be moved to the right in order to move the tumbler right. The left wheel assembly must move a little more than the right in order to lift the tumbler.

Below, both wheel assemblies are adjusted correct and spacing is even on all sides.
