WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
W053
• L'unité doit être installée par un installateur qualifié.
• Installer la sécheuse conformément aux instructions du fabricant et aux codes locaux.
• NE PAS installer une sécheuse avec des matériaux d'aération souples en plastique. Si un
conduit d'aération souple en métal (de type feuille mince) est utilisé, il doit être d'un type
spécifiquement mentionné par le fabricant de l'appareil comme convenable pour utilisation
avec sécheuses. Se reporter à la section sur la façon de connecter le système d'évacuation.
Les matériaux d'aération souples risquent de s'affaisser, ils s'écrasent facilement, et les
fibres et les peluches s'y accumulent. Ces conditions obstruent l'écoulement de l'air et
augmentent les risques d'incendie.

Pre-Installation Inspection
Upon delivery, visually inspect the crate, carton and
parts for any visible shipping damage. If the crate,
carton or cover is damaged or signs of possible
damage are evident, have the carrier note the condition
on the shipping papers before the shipping receipt is
signed, or advise the carrier of the condition as soon as
it is discovered.
Remove the crate and protective cover as soon as
possible and check the items listed on the packing list.
Advise the carrier of any damaged or missing articles
as soon as possible. A written claim should be filed
with the carrier immediately if articles are damaged
or missing.
IMPORTANT: Warranty is void unless tumbler is
installed according to instructions in this manual.
Installation should comply with minimum
specifications and requirements detailed in this
manual and applicable local gas fitting regulations,
municipal building codes, water supply regulations,
electrical wiring regulations, and any other
relevant statutory regulations. Due to varied
requirements, applicable local codes should be
thoroughly understood and all pre-installation
work arranged for accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Keep tumbler area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Location Requirements
The tumbler must be installed on a level floor. Floor
covering materials such as carpeting or tile must be
removed.
To assure compliance, consult local building code
requirements. The tumbler must not be installed or
stored in area where it will be exposed to water and/or
weather.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the
rear of the tumbler with laundry or other articles.
Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the
combustion chamber of the tumbler.
A typical tumbler enclosure is shown in Figure 1. Note
the minimum and maximum dimensions. Local codes
and ordinances must be complied with.
IMPORTANT: Install tumblers with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation. Refer to
Figure 1.
Materials Required (Obtain locally)
All Models One disconnect switch or circuit
breaker.
Gas Models One gas shut-off valve for gas
service line to each tumbler.
Steam Models One steam shut-off valve for steam
service line to be connected upstream
of solenoid steam valve.
Two steam shut-off valves for each
condensate return line.
Flexible steam hoses with a 125 psig
(pounds per square inch gauge)
(8.79 kg/sq. cm) working pressure
for connecting steam coils. Refer to
Figure 17 and Figure 18 or sizing and
connection configurations.
Three steam traps for steam coil
outlet to condensate return line.
Optional – Three vacuum breakers

Position and Level the Tumbler
The tumbler may be moved with or without the skid.
To remove the skid, unscrew the four shipping bolts,
and discard them.
To fit a 170 pound tumbler (with shipping skid)
through an 8 foot (2.43 meters) high door, you must
remove the front access panel. The upper 3 inches
(76 mm) of the stove must also be removed on
170 pound gas tumblers. Removing the entire gas or
steam heater assembly and the shipping skid, will
reduce the height of the 120 pound tumbler to 70
inches (1778 mm), and the 170 pound tumbler to
75 inches (1905 mm).
Level the tumbler to within 0.125 inch (3 mm) from
front-to-rear (level on cylinder rib), and side-to-side
(level on top panel). Shim under corners to level and
stabilize unit. Tumbler must not rock.
Before Placing Tumbler into Service
1. Remove or open all panels and check accessible
bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for
tightness.
2. Check V-belt tension and adjust if necessary.
Refer to appropriate paragraphs in Adjustments
Section.
3. Replace all panels and guards.
4. Turn on electrical supply to tumbler.
5. Open supply valve for gas or steam heated
tumblers.
6. After performing the previous checks, start
the tumbler by pressing START (hold for
approximately 3 seconds). Release the start
button and open the loading door. The cylinder
should stop rotating within 7 seconds after the
door is opened.
7. Gas tumblers: Start the tumbler and check the
burner flame. Adjust the gas inlet shutter as
required. Refer to Adjustments section.
IMPORTANT: The Electronic Ignition system will
attempt to light the gas by sparking for the “trial
for ignition” period. If gas does not 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. Refer to Table 1. It may be
necessary to restart several times to bleed air out of
gas lines. To reset, open and close loading door,
then start.
If lockout condition persists, check that the manual
gas shut-off valve is in the open position and that
the gas service is properly connected. If condition
still persists, remove tumbler from service.
8. Load the cylinder with a full load of clean rags
and run to remove oil or dirt from cylinder.
