WARNING!
Note:DO NOT plug the equipment in (or apply power) until instructed to do so.
Note:The Riley Cure 245 requires a dedicated 240 Volt, 20 Amp circuit. Any
attempt to operate the Riley Cure 245 without the cord/plug provided by the
manufacturer will void the warranty.
Accessories available:
•90-409 Motor Cord (For Control Panel Assembly Opposite Side)
Note:Portions of the assembly procedure require 2 people.
Unpack, identify, and inspect all parts. Report any missing or damaged items.
Cover a 4’ x 9’ area on the floor with towels, cardboard, carpet, etc. to protect the
painted parts from being scratched during assembly.

Conveyor Bed Assembly:
1. Remove (4x) Hex-Head Bolts from RC21-LK carton.
2. Place the Conveyor Drive Assembly on the covered floor (See Figure 1).
3. Butt the Conveyor Take-Up Assembly to the Drive Assembly. Be sure that the
groove on each roller drum is on the same side of the bed.
4. Bolt the bed assembly together using (4x) Hex-Head Bolts.
Figure 1
5. Insert the Tabs on the Caster Assembly into the slots on the Leg Cross Brace, then
squeeze the Cross Brace to hold the Caster in place (See Figure 2).
6. Slide the Leg over the end of the Leg Cross Brace seating the slot in the Leg to
capture the Tab on the Caster.
7. Align the thru-holes with the insert nuts and install the Hex-Head Bolts.
8. Repeat for the four Caster Assemblies, completing the two Leg Assemblies (See
Figure 2).

Figure 2
9. Place the Leg Assemblies over the Conveyor, aligning the thru holes of the Leg
Assemblies with the insert nuts of the Conveyor.
10.Install the eight Hex-Head Bolts (See Figure 3).
Figure 3

11.Tighten all Bolts.
12.Using two people turn the conveyor bed over onto its casters.
Conveyor Belt Installation:
1. Determine the side of the belt that will convey product. A rubber guide is stitched
onto one edge of the belt. This guide is designed to ride in the TruTrak™roller drum
grooves to provide hassle free tracking (See Figure 4).
2. Carefully remove the splice pin from the inside teeth of the splice connector by
pulling gently with needle nose pliers if needed. DO NOT BEND; this pin will be
reinserted later.
3. Lay the belt on the conveyor bed aligning the edge guide with the roller drum
grooves.
4. Pull the ends of the belt together meshing the teeth of the splice while a second
person reinserts the splice pin (removed earlier) into the channel formed by the
interlocked metal teeth. It may be easier to rotate the belt so that the splice is on top
of the conveyor bed before inserting pin. Using needle nose pliers, fully insert the
pin until it is centered.
5. Adjust belt tension: Loosen (2x) hex bolts at Take Up Roller (See Figure 4). Pull
roller at groove end till you have sag of 1 –1.5 inches below the cross-members as
the belt travels under the conveyor bed. Over-tightening the belt can lessen the
lifetime of the conveyor belt. Tighten hex bolt.
6. Adjust opposite end of roller to same location and tighten hex bolt.
Figure 4

Control Panel Installation:
1. Using two Hex-Head Bolts to fasten the Control Panel to the Conveyor Assembly
(See Figure 5).
Figure 5
2. Insert drive motor plug into drive motor receptacle. Twist plug to lock in place (See
Figure 6).
Figure 6

Attaching Heating Chamber:
1. Using two people set the chamber onto the conveyor bed (See Figure 7). The
Heating Chamber Cord must be on the same side of the Conveyor Bed as the
Control Panel.
2. The Heating Chamber has openings on the underside rails that fit over the hex-head
bolts (See Magnified View, Figure 7). The chamber should rest flatly on the
conveyor bed.
Figure 7
3. Insert the Duct Start Collar into the hole in the top of the Heating Chamber (See
Figure 8). Once in position, bend the tabs at the base of the collar outward to
secure it in place. Place the two-foot section of 4” diameter Duct onto the Duct Start
Collar.
4. Place End Shields at desired height on the entrance and exit of the Heating
Chamber.
5. Plug the Heating Chamber cord into the receptacle on the Control Panel (See
Magnified View, Figure 8).

Figure 8

Control Panel Installation Opposite Side: (90-409 Extension Cord Sold Separately)
1. Using two Hex-Head Bolts to fasten the Control Panel to the Conveyor Assembly
(See Figure 9).
Figure 9
2. Insert Drive Motor Plug into Motor Extension Cord Receptacle. Twist plug to lock in
place (See Figure 9). Insert Motor Extension Cord Plug into Drive Motor
Receptacle. Twist plug to lock in place (See Figure 10).
Figure 10

Attaching Heating Chamber Opposite Side:
1. Using two people set the Chamber onto the conveyor bed (See Figure 11). The
Heating Chamber Cord must be on the same side of the Conveyor Bed as the
Control Panel.
2. The Heating Chamber has openings on the underside rails that fit over the Hex-
Head Bolts (See Magnified View, Figure 11). The chamber should rest flatly on the
conveyor bed.
Figure 11

3. Insert the Duct Start Collar into the hole in the top of the Heating Chamber. Once
in position (See Figure 12), bend the tabs at the base of the collar outward to secure
it in place. Place the two-foot section of 4” diameter Duct onto the Duct Start Collar.
4. Place End Shields at desired height on the entrance and exit of the Heating
Chamber.
5. Plug the Heating Chamber cord into the receptacle on the Control Panel (See
Magnified View, Figure 12).

Recommended Initial Start-Up Procedure:
1. DO NOT plug the equipment in (or apply power) until instructed to do so.
Note:The Riley Cure 245 requires a dedicated 240 Volt, 20 Amp circuit.
Any attempt to operate the Riley Cure 245 without the cord/plug provided by
the manufacturer will void the warranty.
2. Plug the Control Panel into a dedicated 240 Volt, 20 Amp circuit power source.
3. Turn the Main Power Switch to ON position. The green indicator light will illuminate.
4. Turn Belt Speed to 5. Flip rocker switch for Belt Speed to ON position to start belt.
Listen for any unusual noises. Check to see if the rubber edge guide is riding in the
TruTrak™roller drum grooves.
5. Turn Heat Control to 5. Flip rocker switch for Heat Control to ON position.
Note:These are not production settings. They are intended for initial startup only.
Caution:DO NOT operate Heating Chamber unless belt is moving. Heat
will damage an idle belt.
6. Verify that the heating element functions –after about a minute of operation, briefly
feel just inside both the entrance and exit ends of the chamber. The area should be
warm.
Caution:Heating element is exposed inside the chamber and is operating
at very high temperatures. Keep your hand close to the moving belt.
Note:Some smoke/vapor and odor may be noticed during initial start-up
due to residual material from the manufacturing process burning off the
elements.
7. Working temperature will be reached after a ten-minute warm-up.
Test articles may be run to determine the optimal production speed and heat setting for your
environment and products.
Conveyor speed can be determined by placing a small item, like a coin, on the conveyor
belt and recording the time it takes to travel through the chamber. (For curing plastsol inks
on t-shirts, 30 seconds through the Heater Chamber is a good initial speed to begin your
evaluation.)
Note:The speed and temperature of the unit may vary slightly with
fluctuations in power/voltage servicing the equipment.
Process an item through the dryer. Evaluate the completed article according to your quality
standards. If the equipment is being used for curing of ink on garments, we recommend
washing the processed garment as the definitive test.
The conveyor dryer is now ready for normal Use and Operation.

Control Panel Maintenance: Performed at initial installation, 30 days after initial
installation, and 120 days after initial installation.
1. Turn OFF the power serving the main control panel where it is connected to the
building electrical distribution system. Unplug the unit.
Note:Assure that appropriate “Lock-Out / Tag-Out”procedures are followed
before conducting any of these activities.
2. After double checking that the power is off, confirm that all electrical terminations
inside of the main control panel are secure by checking the “tightness” of each
termination screw (or wire nut as may be applicable) and then “tugging” on each
conductor.
Routine Maintenance: Performed after first week and every 100 hours of operation.
1. The belt should be replaced if it has any tears, voids, separations, fraying, or no
longer rides in the roller drum groove due to excessive wear.
2. Belt tension: the belt will relax over time and tension may have to be adjusted by the
instructions above.
