Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing set screws), nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shut-off valves, orifices, and grounding 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 switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).

C. LUBRICATION

The motor bearings, idler bearing, and under normal or 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 grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere, or from the manufacturer by ordering kit Part No. 882159, which includes two (2) fittings.
