Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust duct work system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION and VENTILATION AIR.

CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPER IN EXHAUST DUCT WORK. INSPECT and REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND or STICK.

B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION and EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing set screws), nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shut-off valves, orifices, and ground 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).

C. LUBRICATION

The motor bearings, idler bearings...and under normal/most conditions the tumbler bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to re-lubricate the tumbler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #3 or its equivalent. The tumbler bearings used in the dryer do not have a great fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere.

The impellor (fan) shaft bearings should be lubricated every three (3) months.
