INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-
LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical
Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91
(Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General
Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION
(for Electrical Connections).
A. UNPACKING AND 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.
NOTE: The key for the top control door and bottom lint door is located in the information packaged
and shipped in the dryer’s basket (tumbler). This key should be made accessible because it
will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove
the skid from the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid.
Two (2) are 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) 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 (4)
leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
The lint coops of ALL model dryers are supported during shipping by a bracket. REMOVE THIS BRACKET
BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the
rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve
efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
