Remove lint accumulation from inside the control box and at the rear area behind the control box.

Impellor (fan/blower) shaft bearings should be lubricated using Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil.

6 MONTHS

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer-furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK COULD CREATE AFIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECTAND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switch, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).

C. LUBRICATION

The motor bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) and idler bearings, are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice may not be necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere.
