SECTION III
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1- LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO.
A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from dryer.
NOTE: The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in the basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place yet made accessible because some will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the dryer.
Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the manufacturer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid 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 of the base, and two (2) are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer off the skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4) leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four
(4)leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the dryer base. The hex head adjustment bolts for the two (2) front leveling legs are located directly behind the lower access door, and the rear two (2) adjustments are directly behind the lower rear back (guard) panel.
B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas CodeANSI.Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards:
1.The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.
IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only.”
