Installation
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 tumble
dryer 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 tumble dryer area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Location Requirements
The tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer with laundry or other
articles. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the combustion chamber of the tumble
dryer.
A typical tumble dryer enclosure is shown in Figure 1.
Note the minimum and maximum dimensions. Local
codes and ordinances must be complied with.
Materials Required (Obtain locally)
All Models One Single Pole fused disconnect
switch or circuit breaker on 1 Phase

Position and Level the Tumble Dryer
The tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer (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 tumble dryers. Removing the entire gas
or steam heater assembly and the shipping skid, will
reduce the height of the 120 pound tumble dryer to 70
inches (1778 mm), and the 170 pound tumble dryer to
75 inches (1905 mm).
Level the tumble dryer 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. Tumble dryer must not rock.
Before Placing Tumble Dryer 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 tumble dryer.
5. Open supply valve for gas or steam heated
tumble dryers.
6. After performing the previous checks, start
the tumble dryer 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 tumble dryers: Start the tumble dryer 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 Tabl e 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 tumble dryer from service.
8. Load the cylinder with a full load of clean rags
and run to remove oil or dirt from cylinder.
