ÈABOUT THIS MANUAL
ËScope—This instruction manual is intended to provide preventive maintenance, service procedures, and
mechanical parts identification for the Milnor®72072 dryer.
See the safety manual for safety instructions before installing, servicing, or operating this machine. See the
installation guide for facility requirements, installation instructions, and assembly instructions. See the operator
guide for operator instructions. See the reference manual for programming, operating, and troubleshooting instruc-
tions. See the schematic manual for electrical parts identification and electrical troubleshooting.
ËManual Number/Date Code (When To Discard or Save)—The manual number/date code is lo-
cated on the inside front cover, upper right corner just above the manual name. Whenever the manual is reprinted
with new information, part of this number changes. If the date code after the “/” changes, the new version applies
to all machines covered by the old version, but is improved— thus the old version can be discarded. If the
manual number before the “/” changes, the new manual covers only new machines. Example: Discard MAT-
MODELAE/8739CV when MATMODELAE/8739DV is received (minor improvements). Also, discard MAT-
MODELAE/8739DV when MATMODELAE/8746AV is received (major improvements). But keep
MATMODELAE/8746FV when MATMODELBE/8815AV is received, since the new manual no longer applies to
machines originally shipped with the old manual.
ËDocuments and Change Bars—The individual documents comprising this manual use the same revision
criteria as the manual. Text documents also display change bars. Example: When section MSOP0599AE/9135BV
becomes MSOP0599AE/9135CV, change bars with the letter “C” appear next to all changes for this revision. For
a major rewrite (e.g., MSOP0599AE/9226AV), all change bars are deleted.

SAFETY FOR INSTALLATION AND SERVICE
Ê
General Safety Requirements
(specific warnings, next page and throughout manual)
Incorrect installation, neglected preventive maintenance, abuse, and/or improper repairs or changes to the
machine can cause unsafe operation and personal injuries, such as multiple fractures, amputations, or death. The
owner or his selected representative (owner/user) is responsible for understanding and ensuring the proper operation
and maintenance of the machine. The owner/user must familiarize himself with the contents of all machine instruc-
tion manuals. The owner/user should direct any questions about these instructions to a Milnor®dealer or the Mil-
nor®Service department. Most regulatory authorities (including OSHA in the USA) hold the owner/user ultimately
responsible for maintaining a safe working environment. Therefore, the owner/user must do the following:
•recognize all foreseeable safety hazards within his facility and take actions to protect his personnel,
equipment, and facility
•require that personnel are familiar with all functional and safety aspects of the machine
•ensure safety devices installed on the machine are in place and properly maintained
•ensure all machine parts and assemblies are properly maintained.
ËLaundry Facility—Provide a supporting floor that is strong and rigid enough to support--with a reasonable
safety factor and without undue or objectionable deflection--the weight of the fully loaded machine and the forces
transmitted by it during operation. (For washer-extractors, see “ABOUT THE FORCES TRANSMITTED BY MIL-
NOR®WASHER-EXTRACTORS.”) Provide sufficient clearance for machine movement. Provide any safety
guards, fences, restraints, devices, and verbal and/or posted restrictions necessary to prevent personnel, machines,
or other moving machinery from accessing the machine or its path. Provide adequate ventilation to carry away heat
and vapors. Ensure service connections to installed machines meet local and national safety standards, especially
regarding the electrical disconnect (see the National Electric Code). Prominently post safety information, including
signs showing the source of electrical disconnect.
COLLISION, CRUSHING, AND PINCH HAZARDS—Serious bodily injury or death
can result to personnel in proximity to machinery/systems that traverse, ele-
vate, extend, pivot, and/or tilt. The following mandatory minimum safety rer-
quirements must be installed with the machinery system:
☞Safety fence inclosing machine movement areas,
☞Lockable electric interlocks on all gates, properly interfacedas shown on machine sche-
matics, to disable machine movement when any gate is opened,
☞Signs to alert personnel to these hazards, placed prominently around the fenced area.
☞Local codes may require additional precautions.
ËPersonnel—Inform personnel about hazard avoidance and the importance of care and common sense. Provide
personnel with the safety and operating instructions that apply to them. Verify that personnel use proper safety and
operating procedures. Verify that that personnel understand and abide by point-of-hazard tags on the machine and
procedure-specific precautions in the instruction manuals.
ËSafety Devices—Ensure that no one eliminates or disables any safety device on the machine or in the facility.
Do not allow machine to be used with any missing guard or cover. Service any failing or malfunctioning device
before operating the machine.
ËMaintenance—Ensure the machine is inspected and serviced in accordance with the norms of good practice and
with the preventive maintenance schedule. Replace belts, pulleys, brake shoes/disks, clutch plates/tires, rollers,
seals, alignment guides, etc; before they are severely worn. Immediately investigate any evidence of impending
failure and make needed repairs (e.g., cylinder, shell, or frame cracks; drive components such as motors, gear boxes,
bearings, etc; whining, grinding, smoking, or becoming abnormally hot; bending or cracking of cylinder, shell,
frame, etc.; leaking seals, hoses, valves, etc.) Do not permit service or maintenance by unqualified personnel.
Ê
Hazards During Assembly
SHOCK HAZARD—Electrical source can cause death or severe injury. Connec-
tions from the machine main bus to the wall disconnect must be made by a
competent electrician.
☞NEVER make electrical connections without locking OFF and tagging out
power at the wall disconnect.
When lowering basket housing onto base, keep body parts away from sections
being joined.
Sufficient clearance and access must be provided on all sides for service pro-
cedures.

This document is provided to assist the facility owner/user in meeting these requirements.
Design and installation of safety fencing is the responsibility of the facility owner/user. Fence materials
are not provided by Pellerin Milnor Corporation.
1bSXYdUSdebQ\BUaeYbU]U^dc
If a piece of machinery is capable of movement on its own (that is, without operator input), then
access to it should be restricted. The fence must prevent deliberate unauthorized access and reduce or
eliminate accidental access. On the other hand, the fence should permit safe access for authorized
purposes (maintenance, repairs, modifications, etc.), with appropriate electrical lockout/tagout
procedures.
Examples 1 and 2 show how this rule is applied in practical situations.
6U^SU4Y]U^cY_^c—Fences should be at least 72 inches (1800 mm) tall to discourage
unauthorized access from "climbing over". The clearance (gap) between the bottom of the fence and
the floor should be no more than 7 inches (180 mm) to reduce the possibility of unauthorized access by
"crawling under". These dimensions will satisfy ASME B15.1 "Safety Standard for Mechanical Power
Transmission Apparatus" requirements and conform to European Standard prEN-ISO/DIS 10472-1,
"Safety Requirements for Industrial Laundry Machinery". However, there may be additional state or
local requirements which apply to your particular situation.
6U^SU=QdUbYQ\c—The choice of material for fence construction is the responsibility of the
facility owner/user. Milnor does not provide or recommend specific material(s) for this purpose. Any
material or design will be adequate if it meets the dimensional requirements given above and is
constructed so that personnel cannot reach through gaps in the fence and touch any moving parts of the
machinery within the fenced perimeter.
9

7QdUc—Personnel gates should be at least 36 inches (900 mm) wide and should be equipped with
a positive latching arrangement to prevent accidental opening. Adequate floorspace should be provided
to allow the gate to swing at least 90 degrees when fully open. Gates should open outward, that is, away
from the fenced perimeter. The facility floor should be marked with paint to show thegate’s swingarea,
and to discourage obstructing its movement.
5\USdbYSQ\9^dUb\_S[BUaeYbU]U^dc
All gates in the fence must be electrically interlocked to the machinery control systems. The
interlock must immediately disable the movement of any operating equipment and sound an audible
alarm, when any gate is opened. Once the interlock is activated, the machinery can only be restarted
from the main control panel (that is, closing the gate and deactivating the interlock should not
automatically restore machine functions).
BUaeYbU]U^dcV_b9^dUb\_S[CgYdSXUc —Interlockswitchesshouldbeofthe
"positiveopening"typeand ofthe fail-to-safedesign.Thesecharacteristicsaredefinedasfollows:
POSITIVE OPENING - a switch with normally-closed (N.C.) electrical contacts which, upon
being activated, forces its contacts to the open position by a non-resilient drive mechanism.
Spring actuators, for example, are not considered positive opening mechanisms.
FAIL-TO-SAFE - a switch designed such that a component failure in the switch will cause
the device to attain a safe condition. This means that if the switch itself should break or be
otherwise damaged the electrical contacts will open, which in turn will shut down the
machinery.
Commercially available switches of this type are produced by a number of manufacturers.
Milnor recommends the Schmersal PosiSwitch Type AZ. This switch is a positive opening, fail-to-safe
design which is operated by a specially-designed "key" which must be inserted into the switch housing.
This feature makes the switch extremely difficult to defeat.
NOTE: A normally-closed (N.C.) safety switch is said to be "activated" or "actuated" when its
electrical contacts are open. This condition shuts down the machinery controlled by the safety
circuit. In the case of the Schmersal PosiSwitch, this condition occurs when the special "key" is
removed from the switch housing. When the key is inserted into the switch housing (for example,
by shutting the gate to which the key is mounted), the switch’s electrical contacts close. The switch
is then said to be "deactivated", and the controlled machinery is allowed to operate.
BUcUdc—System reset provisions should be key- or code-operated, or a combination of both, with
only selected personnel having the ability and authorization to perform a system restart after a safety
shutdown. The reset key station(s) should, if possible, be located outside the fenced perimeter. If the
keystationsmustbelocatedinsidetheperimeter,a"time-delay"provisionshouldbeincorporatedwhich
allows the key operator time to leave the area before the machinery restarts.
?fUbbYTUc—The system may, at the discretion of management, incorporate provisions for
overriding (temporarily disabling) the safety interlock system. However, if this capability is included
in the safety interlock design, its use must be rigidly controlled either by procedure, physically (i.e.,
key switch or coded input or both) to prevent unauthorized personnel from overriding the safety
interlocks.

Milnor does notrecommend adding total safety interlock override capability to thesystem
controls. Whether or not to add this capability is strictly the decision of and responsibility of the facility
owner/user.
5]UbWU^SiCd_`CgYdSXUc—Emergency stop switches (panic buttons) should be
located inside the fenced perimeter where they are easily accessible to personnel inside the perimeter.
These switches, when activated, will shut down all operations within the fenced perimeter and should
sound an audible alarm. These switches should be located so that personnel anywhere inside the fenced
perimeter are only a shortdistance froma switch. andthey should beclearly marked as to theirlocations
and function.
NOTE: The emergency stop switches discussed herein are intended to function independently of
the emergency stop switches which are part of each individual machine. The switches for each
machine will shut down only the machine on which they are mounted, and will not stop the entire
system.

Do not start this machine until the part with
this tag is installed on the machine.
Do not remove this component from the
machine.
Install the appropriate part here before
operating the machine.
Machine was shipped in parts. Join
connections with matching tags (Join 1 and 1,
join 2 and 2, 3 and 3, and so on.).
Install the Autolint pickup box on the dryer
before installing the dryer on the base.
Steam dryers only—Drain the condensate to
the sewer during first one hour after
commissioning a new dryer or replacing the
steam coil. This flushes out any residual
anti-freeze that might be in the steam coil.
After one hour, condensate can be returned to
the boiler.
High temperature silastic must be applied
between the top and bottom sections of the
dryer, along the top inside edge of the three
openings shown. The seal around the firebox
is especially critical.
