9. The dryer must be installed with adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
CAUTION: Thisdryer produces combustiblelintand must beexhaustedtothe outdoors. Every6
months,inspecttheexhaustductingandremoveanylintbuildup.
IMPORTANT: Dryer mustbe installedina location/environmentin whichtheambient
temperatureremains between40° F(4.44° C)and 130°F(54.44° C).

12 American Dryer Corp. 113202-27
B. UNPACKING AND SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryermustbetransported and handledinanuprightpositionat 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) lag bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. One (1) is
located 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) lag bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint drawer and the two (2)
Phillips head screws securing the lint door in place.
1. Leveling Dryer
To level dryer, place 4-inch (10.16 cm) square metal shims (refer to the illustration above) or other
suitable material under the base pads. It is suggested that the dryer be tilted slightly to the rear.

113202-27 www.adclaundry.com 13
2. The V-belts are disconnected from the basket drive motor for shipping. Reconnect V-belts, using the
following instructions, before starting the dryer.
a. Remove hardware holding back (belt) guard and remove guard from dryer.
b. Lay one (1) belt into motor sheave (pulley) groove and wind belt into corresponding groove of the idler
pulley by rotating the idler pulley by hand. Rotate the idler pulley an extra turn or two (2) to ensure that
the belt is tracking properly in the motor sheave (pulley) and idler pulley grooves without twisting.
c. Repeat procedure to reconnect the remaining belt.
d. Replace back (belt) guard and hardware.
3. If more headroom is needed when moving dryer into position, the top console (module) may be removed,
usingthefollowinginstructions.
a. Disconnect the ground wire (A) at the rear upper left hand corner of dryer.
b. Remove the eight (8) sets of nuts and washers (B) holding the console (module) to base.
c. Open the control door and control panel, and disconnect the white 15-pin plug connector (C) located in
the base of the control box.
d. Disconnect white plug connector located outside backside of the control box (provides power to heat
circuit).
e. Lift the console (module) off of the dryer base.
IMPORTANT: The dryer mustbe transportedandhandled in an uprightpositionatALLtimes.

14 American Dryer Corp. 113202-27
WARNING
An exhaust duct transition piece is shipped inside of the dryer’s
tumbler and MUST be installed on the dryer’s
exhaust duct, with the hardware provided, BEFORE
location venting is connected to the dryer.
THIS EXHAUST DUCT TRANSITION PIECE
MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST!
Failure to observe this installation requirement may result in
damage to the dryer, create a FIRE HAZARD and will VOID
the manufacturer’s warranty.
012999JEV-GS/cj P/N: 114092
4. Exhaust Transition Piece
Inside the tumbler of this dryer is an exhaust
transition piece that mustbeinstalled on the outlet
of the exhaust before any further venting is
connected:
a. Remove the exhaust transition piece from the
tumbler and place it on the exhaust outlet.
b. Using the screws provided, secure the exhaust
transition piece to the dryer.
NOTE: Itis recommended thatthis joint betaped

113202-27 www.adclaundry.com 15
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be
positioned approximately 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. 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 dryer front. The bulkhead facing must not be closed in
ALL the way to the top of the dryer. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required.
NOTE: Bulkheadfacing shouldnot beinstalleduntil after dryerisinplace. Ceiling area must be
locatedaminimum of 12-inches(30.48cm) above thetopof the dryer. Eventhougha
minimumofonly12-inches(30.48cm) is required, 18-inches(45.72cm)ormoreissuggested
forsteamdryers and especiallyincases where sprinklerheadsare over thedryers.
NOTE: Whenfiresprinklersystemsare located above thedryers,aminimumof18-inches(45.72 cm)
abovethedryerconsole (module) is suggested. Dryersmaybepositionedsidewall to

foreaseofinstallationandmaintenance. Allowancesmustbemade for the openingand
closingofthecontrolandlintdoors.

16 American Dryer Corp. 113202-27
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLYREQUIREMENTS
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the
nationalinstallationregulations.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out
of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air
is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch
“fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An
unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 2,100 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (59.5 cmm
[cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from
the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 3 square feet (0.28 square meters) is required for each dryer.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air area must be
increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are
acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to ALL
the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of six (6) gas dryers, two (2) openings measuring 3 feet by 3 feet (0.91 meters by 0.91
meters) are acceptable.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
