7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, 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).

NOTE: Squirrel cage type fan (impellor) on the blower motor must be inspected and cleaned every 6 months.

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) and idler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) and idler 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, or from the Maytag dealer by ordering kit part number 882159 (basket [tumbler] ONLY), which includes two (2) fittings.
