DRYER PRE START CHECKS

PRE SEASON INSPECTION

Before the dryer is filled, thoroughly inspect the unit and check the op- eration of the dryer as follows.

INSPECT THE METERING

ROLLS

Open all metering roll access doors and inspect each compart- ment for any bolts, nuts or other for- eign material, that may cause pos- sible jamming of the metering rolls.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE DRYER MAKE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS ARE IN PLACE, ALL BOTTOM

Turn ON the electrical power sup- ply to the dryer, set all circuit break- ers to ON, including the safety dis- connect handle mounted on front of the dryer's power panel.

CONTROL POWER

SWITCH

Turn the CONTROL POWER switch to ON. The switch will light up. A copyright message, model number, total running time in hours and min- utes, current date and time will ap- pear. At this point the controller will lock out all other dryer functions. Once the date and time appear, press RESET and the dryer will per- form its safety circuit check. If a fault is found, the cause will be displayed on the LCD. If all are found safe, the controller will supply power to the electronic fuel shut- off valve (if so equipped) and the DRYING MODE switch will light up, indicating that the dryer is ready to be started.

Push the DRYER START button, and all the selector switches on the control panel will be activated.

FUEL CHECK

If using LP gas, make sure the tank has plenty of fuel and that the tank does not have a regulator mounted to it. If using natural gas, make sure an adequate supply is available.

If using LP gas, slowly OPEN the main fuel supply valve at the tank. If using natural, gas turn ON the valve along the supply line. Then, OPEN the electronic shut off valve (Maxon valve), if so equipped, or OPEN the manual shut off valve on the dryer to allow fuel flow to the dryer. Inspect all gas lines and con- nections for possible leaks.

Any gas leaks need to be fixed immediately!
