Before Placing Tumbler into Service

1.Remove or open all panels and check accessible bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for tightness.

2.Check belt tension and adjust if necessary. Refer to Adjustments Section.

3.Replace all panels and guards.

4.Turn on electrical supply to tumbler.

5.Open the supply valve for gas or steam heated tumblers.

6.After performing the previous checks, start the tumbler by pressing START. (Refer to the Operating Manual for detailed instructions.) Release the start button and open the loading door. The cylinder should stop rotating within seven seconds after the door is opened.

7.Gas models: Start the tumbler and check the burner flame. Adjust the air inlet shutter as required. Refer to Adjustments Section.

IMPORTANT: Refer to Table 2. The electronic ignition system will attempt to light the gas by sparking for the “trial for ignition” period. If gas does ignite within this period, the ignition control will go into a safety lockout and the valve will no longer open until the control is reset. It may be necessary to reset several times to bleed air out of gas lines. To restart open and close loading door and restart unit.

If lockout condition persists, check that the manual gas shut-off valve is in the ON position and that the gas service is properly connected. If condition still persists, remove tumbler from service.

Installation

8.Load the cylinder with a full load of clean rags and run to remove oil or dirt from cylinder.

9.Check the airflow switch operation by opening the lint panel. The heating systems should shut off when the lint panel is opened a maximum of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm).

The airflow switch operation may be affected by shipping tape still in place, lack of make-up air, or an obstruction in the exhaust duct. These should be checked and the required corrective action taken before attempting to adjust the airflow switch. To adjust the airflow switch refer to Adjustments Section.

WARNING

The tumbler must not be operated if the airflow switch does not operate properly. Faulty airflow switch operation may cause an explosive gas mixture to collect in the tumbler.
