B. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at all times.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To un-skid the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
The ML-96 is not provided with a back draft damper. The damper is available as a "cost" option. If this damper option was purchased, for shipping purposes, the 16" (40.64) butterfly damper assembly is shipped in the tumbler (basket) of the dryer. For assembly of this damper assembly (refer to the illustration on page 8).
