Unpacking/Setting Up _________________

Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and/ or optional shipping box) from dryer.

Important

Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright

!position at all times.

The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.

With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower all four (4) leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.

The lint coops of all dryers are supported during shipping by a bracket. Remove this bracket before starting the dryer.

Leveling Dryer

The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.

Dryer Enclosure Requirements________

Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) (18-inches [45.72 cm] or more is recommended

for ease of installation, maintenance, and service) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed in if desired. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front. The bulkhead facing must not be closed in all the way to the top of the dryer. A 1-inch (2.54 cm) clearance is required.

mm)minimum allowance must be made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It

is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration above for details.

Note

!Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
