Installation
Dryer models LS15 through LS1500 are designed to be
moved by means of forklift slotting at the base of the
dryer’s protective shipping framework and lifting straps in-
stalled on the dryer.
Dryer models LS2070 and LS2580 are designed to be
moved by means of lifting lugs supplied on the desiccant
chambers.

2.3 Mechanical Set-Up

Important: When selecting an installation site, consider-
ation must be given to the need for adequate clearances
around and above the dryer system for ease of mainte-
nance and accessibility. Site selection should also take
into account possible momentary sound levels in excess
of 85 decibels during each desiccant chamber depressur-
ization period.
1. Locate the dryer system in an area with adequate
clearance for servicing of all components. The recom-
mended clearance around the dryer system should
be a minimum of four (4) feet. An overhead clearance
of not less than two (2) feet above each desiccant
chamber is required for desiccant filling. Refer to the
drawings enclosed with this manual for dimension,
connection and weight specifications applicable to
your specific dryer system.
2. Remove all protective shipping framework, covers,
pipe plugs, shipping blocks, etc.
3. Utilizing the base plate mounting holes provided, an-
chor the dryer to a solid, level foundation designed to
support the dryer’s dead weight loading, plus any
earthquake or wind loadings, as required.
4. Suitable protective barriers are recommended to re-
duce the possibility of accidental damage if the unit is
located in an open area, or in close proximity to ve-
hicular and pedestrian traffic.

2.1 Receiving and Inspection

Immediately upon receipt of the dryer, thoroughly inspect
for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Since the dryer is shipped F.O.B. Ocala, Florida, the carrier
is legally responsible for damage incurred during shipping.
Shipping damage is not covered by the dryer warranty.
If goods are received short or damaged, notify the carrier
and insist on a notation of the loss on the face of the bill of
lading. Otherwise no claim can be enforced against the
carrier.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the car-
rier at once and request an inspection. The carrier will
make an inspection and grant a concealed damage nota-
tion. The carrier will not consider any claim for loss or dam-
age unless an inspection has been made. If you give the
carrier a clear receipt for goods that have been damaged or
lost in transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
If there is any damage, file a claim with the carrier, contact
your local distributor or the factory before attempting to in-
stall subject equipment.

2.2 Equipment Handling

Note: Should questions arise concerning site selection,
installation, operation, etc., please contact your local
Deltech Sales Representative for assistance.
WARNING!
Use appropriate, load rated lifting equipment, and
observe safe lifting procedures during all moves.
The unit should be carefully unloaded as close as is
possible to final installation site to minimize chances
of equipment damage. Refer to the drawings en-
closed with this manual for equipment shipping
weight.
