B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws (bearing setscrews), and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, orifices, and grounding connections). 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).

30 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION

SHUT OFF ALL POWER TO THE DRYER. Verify that the electrical connections to the motor contactors and overloads are tight. This is done to accommodate the compression of the wires over time.

C. LUBRICATION

MONTHLY

The two (2) bearings that support the impellor/fan shaft must be lubricated. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI Grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil.

EVERY 3 MONTHS

The four (4) bearings that support the drive and idler shafts must be lubricated. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI Grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil.
