Stability during use, transportation, assembly, testing, and foreseeable break-
The D-100 and D-1000 dryers are designed and expected to be inherently stable under all
foreseeable conditions of use, assembly, testing, etc., so long as the procedures listed in
this manual are followed. Be certain that your workbench, table, or stand can safely sup-
port the weight of your machine (see below).
Safe handling, transport, and storage:
Unplug your dryer and allow it to cool before storing. When handling or transporting your
machinery, be aware of the following weights and dimensions:
D-100: Assembled — 89 lbs (40.4 kg); 46” x 24” x 24” (119 x 61 x 61 cm)
Boxes: #1 – 57 lbs (25.9 kg); #2 – 14 lbs (6.4 kg); #3 – 18 lbs (8.2 kg); Boxes on skid: 115
lbs (52.2 kg)
D-1000: Assembled — 116 lbs (52.6 kg), 46” x 32” x 24” (119 x 81 x 61 cm)
Boxes: #1 – 38 lbs (17.2 kg); #2 – 43 lbs (19.5 kg); #3 – 35 lbs (15.9 kg); Boxes on skid:
137 lbs (62.1 kg)
Adjustment and Maintenance:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown:
Safety during adjustment and maintenance
Before beginning any maintenance or adjustment procedures on your dryer:
If the machine’s heater has been ON, shut the heat control OFF, but allow the belt to
continue running for 10 -15 minutes, or until the heater has cooled to 300°F (149°C) or
lower . If the belt is stopped while the heater is hot, belt damage will occur.
Switch machine OFF and disconnect from power before beginning any adjustment or
maintenance.
Do not attempt any maintenance while machine is powered.
Do not run machine with panels or guards removed.
Periodically check ink temperature on garments exiting machine. See page 11,
“Operation Tips.” Readjust temperature control as necessary to maintain correct tem-
perature for your application.
Occasionally, check belt tracking and adjust if necessary. See page 9, step 12.
Chains in chain drives can loosen over time; occasionally check the tension on the
chain in your machine.
Allow heater to cool, then shut off machine and disconnect from power as described above
in “Safety during adjustment and maintenance.”
