IMPORTANT: Readjustment and removal of the Impellor (fan) Shaft bearings using Green LOCTITE® (#609) require that the bearing itself be heated.
In lieu of heating, ADC recommends the replacement of these assemblies in order to provide a true fit and avoid any warpage upon reinstallation.
NOTE: The application of LOCTITE® during the dryer manufacturing process does not preclude the recommended six (6) month interval that ADC advises for periodically checking ALL set screws within the dryer.
1.Discontinue power to the dryer.
2.Remove the upper half of the rear split back guard panel to either the top or bottom basket (tumbler), depend- ing on which basket (tumbler) is being serviced.
3.Loosen pillow block bearing adjustment jam (hex) nuts and bolts (one [1] on each side of the bearing support).
4.Loosen the two (2) bearing set screws.
5.Remove the two (2) sets of nuts, washers and bolts securing the bearing to the bearing box support, then remove the bearing.
