4. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove
this coating.
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.
a. For microprocessor controller (computer) models check programs/selections...
1) Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer
to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
6. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check
to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If
the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power
supply to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this will not onlydrastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure.7. Reversing basket (tumbler) dryers should never be operated with less than a 50 lb (22.7 kg) load (dry
weight), since the load’s weight effects the basket (tumbler) coast time during a direction reversal command.
It is important that the basket (tumbler) comes to a complete stop prior to starting in opposite direction.
a. Microprocessor Models
1) Spin times and dwell (stop) times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been
preprogrammed into the microprocessor controller (computer) for 120-seconds spin time and a
5-second dwell (stop) time.
2) Spin times and dwell (stop) times are adjustable in the Manual (timed) Mode.
b. Dual T imer Models
1) Both dwell (stop) time and basket (tumbler) spin time are adjustable (refer to the illustration on
page 35).
8. Check to ensure that ALL setscrews (i.e., basket [tumbler] drive, idler, etc.) are tight.
