BELT REPLACEMENT
Shut off electrical power. Disconnect wiring leading to the tumbler support panel. Remove the back guard, top, and the exhaust support bracket. Unbolt and remove the thrust washers from the rear of the tumbler shaft. While someone holds the tumbler through the loading door remove all six screws from left and right side of the rear tumbler support panel. Spread the right and left side panels at the top and pull the tumbler support panel off of the dryer. Slip the new belt around the tumbler. Replace the rear tumbler support panel. To maneuver the rear tumbler support panel back into position the rear wheels must be slipped under the tumbler and the oven housing guided into the circular opening on the inner side of the tumbler support panel. Replace the six tumbler support panel screws. Apply a few drops of Loctite 290 to the thrust bearing bolt and bolt the thrust washers back onto the tumbler shaft in the order shown. Place the belt back on the motor sheave before replacing the exhaust support bracket, back guard, and top.
