Unpacking / Setting Up _______________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and
optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in
an upright position at 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 bolts securing the base of
the dryer to the wooden skid. Two are at the rear base
(remove the back panel for access), and two are located in
the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two bolts
located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer
into its final position, slightly lower all four leveling legs, so
that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each
corner of the base. Two are located at the rear of the dryer
base, and two are located in the lint chamber (coop). To
increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should
be tilted slightly to the rear.
Location Requirements ______________
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to
local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes
or ordinances the location must conform with the National
FuelGasCodeANSI.Z223.1LATESTEDITION, or inCanada,
the installation must conform to applicable Canadian
Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/
CGA-B149.2-M91(L.P.Gas)orLATESTEDITION(forGeneral
Installation and Gas Plumbing).
The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable
of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be removed from
the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.
IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on
noncombustible floors only.”
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
The dryer is for use in noncombustible locations.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided as
noted in this manual (refer to Fresh Air Supply
Requirements).
Clearance provisions must be made from noncombustible
construction as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer
Enclosure Requirements).
Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for
servicing and for operation as noted in this manual (refer to
Dryer Enclosure Requirements).
Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors as noted in this
manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements).
Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust
venting can be achieved as noted in this manual (refer to
Exhaust Requirements).
IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum
amount of exhaust duct will be necessary.
The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct
connection to the outside.
The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate
combustion and make-up air supply.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and
must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months,
inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint
buildup.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature remains
between 40º F (4.44º C) and 130º F (54.44º C).
Dryer Enclosure Requirements ______
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of
noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum
of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top;
18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam dryers, except along the
front of the dryer, which may be closed if desired.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control
door.
With the exception of the floor, clearances shown are for
combustible construction.
X = 12-inch (30.48 cm) minimum, 24-inches (60.96 cm) is suggested for ease
of maintenance.
* 1-inch (2.54 cm) maximum for electric dryers.
** 18-inch (45.72 cm) minimum for steam dryers.

8113260-4
Exhaust Requirements _______________
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit
protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a
proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate (single)
exhaust duct for each dryer.
The design of the flue system shall be such that any
condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold
shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or
discharged.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can
create a potential fire hazard.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster
fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.
The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that
the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors
with as few turns as possible. The shape of the ductwork is
not critical as long as the minimum cross section area is
provided. Single or independent dryer venting is
recommended.
It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30°
or 45° angles instead.
The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections
from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will
collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should
overlap the duct to which it is connected. All ductwork joints
must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping
into the building. Additionally, inspection doors should be
installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for
periodic inspection and cleaning.
IMPORTANT: When connecting ductwork to the dryer
exhaust duct, be sure that when screws are used they do
not restrict the operation (both opening and closing) of the
damper.
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall,
ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct
(all the way around). The duct must be centered within
this opening.
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from
the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed
where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels
vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the
weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.
In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct
between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (i.e.,
roof or ground level).
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and
efficient operation.
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a
1/16” (1.59 mm) minimum allowance must be made for
opening and closing of the control door. It is suggested that
the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away
from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back
guard). Refer to the illustration on previous page for details.
Fresh Air Supply Requirements ______
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets
the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the
national installation regulations.
The 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. As
a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors
(atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14
square meters) is required for each dryer. If registers or
louvers are installed over the openings, then the area must
be increased. It is not necessary to have separate
make-up air openings 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 the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions
for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Example: For a bank of eight dryers, two unrestricted
openings measuring 3 feet by 2 feet (0.914 meters by 0.61
meters) are acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be
located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit
the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a
source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air
that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will
result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer
components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.

113260-4 9
IMPORTANT: Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the
dryer exhaust duct area must be no less than 0 and must
not exceed 0.3 in WC (0.74 mb).
NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts
for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall
be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to
ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26
gauges (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”
Single Dryer Venting
Horizontal Venting
When a single 8-inch (20.32 cm) horizontal vent is used,
the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 68 feet (20.7
meters), refer to Illus. A below. This calculation of 68 feet
(20.7 meters) compensates or allows for the use of a
maximum of only one elbow, (which is the outside outlet
protection).
Illus. A
Vertical Venting
When vertical single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used (refer
to Illus. B below), the ductwork from the dryer to the outside
outlet cannot exceed 55 feet (16.7 meters). This calculation
compensates for the use of a maximum of three elbows
including the two elbows creating the 180° (turned
downward) outside outlet.
Illus. B
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used
exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross-sectional
area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the
number of elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross
section area of the duct can only be increased to an
extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional HVAC
firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for
each dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled
into a common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a
back draft damper. The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than
45° in the direction of the airflow.
The main common duct may be any shape as long as the
minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The main duct
should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each
individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is added (refer to Illus. C
for horizontal venting and Illus. D for vertical venting on the
following page).
IMPORTANT: No more than four dryers maximum should
be connected to one main common duct with a vertical
run.
NOTE: Distance between dryer single ducts being
connected to the main common duct must be a minimum
of 34-1/4” (87 cm) dryer width.
Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where
allowances are made at rear area of the dryer for removal
of rear service panels or guards.

10 113260-4
The illustrations below show the minimum cross section
area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be
increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last
dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is
unusually long.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross
section area of the duct can only be increased to an
extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional HVAC
firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
Refer below for Multiple Dryer Horizontal Venting and Vertical
Venting examples/illustrations.

16 113260-4
Steam Information ___________________
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections
made by a qualified professional to ensure that the steam
plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local
and state regulations or codes.
Care must be exercised when leveling steam dryers into
final position. After leveling the dryer, check the downward
pitch of the heat exchanger from front to rear with a level.
Likewise, check the downward pitch of the return condensate
manifold toward its outlet part. Absence of these downward
pitches will result in probable water hammer and premature
heat exchanger fracture and leakage.
The presence of condensate in the steam will cause water
hammer and subsequent heat exchanger failure. The steam
supply connection must be taken from the top of a
well-dripped steam main. If the supply run-out to the dryer
exceeds 20 feet (6.1 meters), it should be dripped just before
the control valve with a proper trap and dirt pocket.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the requirements
stipulated in this manual can result in component failure,
which will void the warranty.
NOTE: This dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic
(piston) damper system, which requires an external
supply of air (80 psi +/- 10 psi [5.51 bar +/- 0.68 bar]).
Steam Coil pH Level
The normal pH level for copper type steam coils must be
maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type
steam coils the pH level must be maintained between a
value of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid
attack of the steam coils.
IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper pH level will
void the warranty.

The pressure of the condensate in the steam supply line
will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger
(steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the
main supply line must be made with a minimum 10-inch
(25.4 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from
draining towards the dryer.
The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch
(30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and check valve. This
will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.
Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer
vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam
coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply
and return mains.
Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the
supply line, return line, and drip trap return line. This will
allow the dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the
return main if the dryer needs maintenance work.
Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at
least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam coil as close
to the coil as possible. A trap with a capacity of 350 lb (160
kg) of condensate per hour at 125 psi (8.61 bar) is needed
for each unit.
The supply line and the return line should be insulated.
Thiswillsave energy andprovidefor the safetyofthe operator
and maintenance personnel.
Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will
provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil
damage. All horizontal runs of steam supply piping should
be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every 1 foot (0.30 meters)
back towards the steam supply header causing the
condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass
trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.
IMPORTANT: Flexible hoses/couplings must be used.
Coil failure due to hard plumbing connections will void the
warranty.
Steam Damper Air System Connections
This dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper
system, which requires an external supply of compressed
air. The air connection is made to the steam damper
solenoid valve, which is located at the rear inner top area of
the dryer just in front of the electric service relay box.
Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents
* The minimum operating pressure for optimum results is 100 psig (689.47
kPa).
Installation Instructions
To ensure an adequate supply of steam is provided, be
sure that the steam supply lines and steam return lines are
sized and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate
steam supply lines and steam return lines or improper
steam plumbing will result in poor performance and can
cause component failure. Clean, dry steam must be
provided to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by
wet steam will void the warranty.

Air Requirements
There is no air requirement for dryers with the
electromechanical steam damper option.
Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents
Air Connection
Air connection to system — 1/8” N.P.T.
Air Regulation
Noairregulator or filtrationisprovided withthedryer. External
regulation/filtration of 80 psi (5.51 bar) must be provided. It
is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge arrangement be
added to the compressed air line just before the dryer
connection. This is necessary to ensure that correct and
clean air pressure is achieved.
Steam Damper System Operation
The steam damper, as shown in the following illustration,
allows the coil to stay constantly charged eliminating
repeated expansion and contraction. When the damper is
opened, the air immediately passes through the already
hot coil, providing instant heat to start the drying process.
When the damper is closed, ambient air is drawn directly
into the tumbler, allowing a rapid cool down.

Normal 80 psi 5.51 bar
Minimum Supply 70 psi 4.82 bar
Maximum Supply 90 psi 6.21 bar
Diagram 1 shows the damper in the heating (open) mode,
allowing heat into the tumbler.
Diagram 2 shows the damper in the cool down (closed)
mode, pulling ambient air directly into the tumbler without
passing through the coils.
NOTE: With the dryer off or with no air supply, the steam
damper is in cool down mode as shown in Diagram 2.

Preoperational Test___________________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving
the factory. However, a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible
that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal
location (installation) conditions. Installer must instruct the
user on how to correctly operate the dryer before leaving.
Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular
model dryer.
Gas Models Only
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it
has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt.
This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it
may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the
lines.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that
all gas shutoff valves are open.
Gas model dryers are equipped with an ignition system,
which has internal diagnostics. If ignition is not established
after one time, the heat circuit in the ignition module will
attempt two more ignitions (total of three ignition attempts).
If there is no flame after the third ignition attempt the module
will lock out until it is manually reset. To reset the ignition
system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer.
A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve
pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that the water column
pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured
at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):
Natural Gas.......................... 3.5 in WC (8.7 mb)
L.P. Gas ............................ 10.5 in WC (26.1 mb)
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P.
dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at
the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be
added to each dryer.
Make a complete operational check of all safety related
circuits:
• Door Switch(es)
• Hi-Limit Thermostats
• Cycling Thermostat
• Gas and Electric Models Only – Sail Switch
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation
by opening the lint drawer. While pushing the lint drawer
switch in, start a drying cycle. The heating unit should not
activate (wait 30-seconds). If heat does activate, make the
necessary adjustments to the sail switch.
Make a complete operational check of all operating controls.

113260-4 19
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to
the computer programming section of the manual supplied
with the dryer.
The dryer should be operated through one complete cycle to
ensure that no further adjustments are necessary and that
all components are functioning properly.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler is treated with a protective coating. We suggest
dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of
water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them
in the tumbler to remove this coating.
Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø]
models only). While the dryer is operating, check to see if the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction.
Looking from the front, the blower wheel (impellor/fan) should
spin in the clockwise direction. If it is, the phasing is correct.
If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two of the three leads at
connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating
in the wrong direction, it will drastically reduce drying
efficiency and it can also cause premature component
failure.

hours per day.
IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must
be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect
the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third or Fourth Load
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. Aclogged lint
screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/
drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.
Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best
be determined from experience at each location.

cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the Parts
Department for a reseller in your area.
NOTE: When ordering replacement parts from the reseller
or the manufacturer, be sure to give them the correct
model number and serial number so that your parts order
can be processed in an expeditious manner.
Routine Maintenance _________________
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for
periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various
areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork
system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined
from experience at each location. Maximum operating
efficiency is dependent upon proper airflow. The
accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines
in this section are met, the dryer will provide many years of
efficient, trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.
!WARNING
Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible. The
accumulation of lint can create a potential fire hazard.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
Reversing Timer Spin / Dwell Adjustments
Timer models have an electronic reversing timer in the
electrical service box, which is located in the upper left rear
area of the dryer.
Both the Dwell (stop) Time and the tumbler Spin Time are
adjustable by mode selection switches located on the
electronic timer (as noted in the illustration below).
