Adjustments

Air Flow Switch

The air flow switch on the 32DG model is set at the factory for proper operation.

IMPORTANT: Air flow switch vane must remain closed during operation. If it opens and closes during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient air flow through the tumbler. If switch remains open, or pops open and closed during the cycle, the heating system will shut off. The cylinder and fan will continue to operate even though the air flow switch is malfunctioning.

Refer to the Parts and Service manual for information on adjusting the air flow switch.

NOTE: Air flow switch operation may be affected by a clogged lint screen, lack of make-up air, or obstructions in the customer installed main or collector ducts. These conditions must be checked and corrected before attempting to adjust the air flow switch.

Cylinder Door Switch and Strike

The door switch should be adjusted so the cylinder stops when door is opened two inches (5.08 cm), plus or minus 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). This switch is a normally open switch and is closed when the door is closed.

1.Close door and start tumbler, slowly open loading door. Cylinder and heat system should shut off when door is open two inches plus or minus 1/4 inch.

2.Slowly close loading door. When door is two inches (5.08 cm) from being fully closed, the tab on the door should contact the switch plunger and depress it enough to close the switch with an audible “click.” Refer to Figure 13.

3.If tab does not depress the switch plunger enough to operate the switch, bend tab on loading door INWARD towards machine (away from hinge) and repeat steps 1 and 2.

4.If the tab on the door operates the switch before the two inch distance, bend tab on loading door OUTWARD away from machine (towards the hinge) and repeat steps 1 and 2.

Cylinder Door Strike

Refer to Figure 14.

The door strike must be adjusted to have sufficient tension to hold loading door closed against force of load tumbling against it. Proper adjustment is when eight to 15 pounds (35.6N to 80N) pull is required to open door.

To adjust, open door, loosen jamnut and turn door strike screw in or out as required. Retighten jamnut.

Drive V-Belt

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, disconnect power to the tumbler before performing this operation.

W653

The drive V-belt tension is automatically set by a spring loaded idler system. There is no adjustment.

WARNING

Guard/panel MUST be re-installed on rear of tumbler after belt adjustment is made.

W654

1.Remove belt guard front panel from rear of tumbler.

2.The belt should show no signs of excess wear or cracking. If it does, replace with a genuine service replacement.

3.Ensure that spring loaded idler arm is free to move by squeezing the belt together. Idler arm should move freely with moderate (approximately 20 pounds, 9.08 kg) of spring force.

4.Replace the belt guard. Failure to do so will result in the tumbler not starting.
