Control Box
Underneath the top panel there are three infrared radiant panel heang elements that are controlled by the tablet
controller. They can cure plassol, water-based ink, and any evaporave cured ink. They are capable of heang up
and cooling down within seconds.
Most of the machine’s electrical components are located within the control box. This box is easily accessible for any
necessary maintenance.
Used to raise and lower the heang elements to adjust heat distance to the garment. To raise the element turn the
crank handle clockwise. Turn the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the element.
The exhaust is used to release heat. Use the push pin handle next to the exhaust to control the amount of heat re-
leased.
Filters the incoming air and needs to be cleaned whenever it becomes lled.
The conveyor belt is created of Teon coated ber glass and is placed on a self-aligning belt tracking system. The
belt is designed to withstand heat, but be sure the belt is always moving when the Powerhouse II is operang
above 300 degrees.
Used for tracking the belt and keeping the belt on the pulley. If the belt moves to the side, use the belt tracking
adjust to center it.
The pulleys are created for precise rolling at an even center.
The tablet controller is the main control system for the Powerhouse Series II. The tablet programs the temperature,
belt speed, warm up, cool down, power consumpon, create presets, access the owner’s portal, and contacts
Workhorse technical support if ever needed.

Step 3: Installing and Tracking the Belt
Parts needed:
 Belt
 Threading Pin
1. When rst installing the belt, on the
infeed side of the dryer, remove the top
nut and bolt holding the infeed roller in
place. Once removed, loosen the boom
nut, but keep in place. Aer loosening the
boom nut, roll the infeed roller forward
so there is less tension on the belt when
installing the pin.
1. 1.
2. Feed the belt from the oueed side of
the dryer, through the top of the
chamber. Pull the belt through the
infeed side and over the infeed roller.
2.
3. Run the belt under the infeed roller
and then above the tension roller and
above the lower support. Then feed the
belt through the lower poron of the
chamber and out the oueed side of the
dryer.

2. Aer the infeed roller is bolted back into place, turn the dryer on with a belt speed of 100% and let run for 5
minutes. You will be able to see if the belt is tracking correctly. If the belt is not tracking properly, use the bolts for
the tension roller on the infeed side of the dryer. If the belt is moving le, use the right bolt and make a 1/4 turn right
and watch the adjustment. Connue the process unl the belt has tracked correctly. Make the same adjustments on
the other side of the dryer if the belt is moving to the right. When completed, the belt should be tracking underneath
both tracking plates without moving to one side or the other.
1. Once the belt is pinned together, you will need to reinstall the nuts and bolts for the infeed roller. Move the roller
bearing back into place so that the boom bolt and top bolt are aligned. The bolt will go into the bearing from the
roller side of the arm and the nut will ghten down on the outside of the arm.

Step 4: Connecng to the Belt Drive Motor
1. On the oueed side, take the belt drive motor
cable and feed it through the hole located at the
edge of the arm.
The size and specifications of the electrical connections made during installation MUST BE DETERMINED BY
A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. FOLLOW ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND PLANNING CODES. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the unit, building, or cause serious injury.
Before any electrical connections are made verify all safety precautions have been taken to ensure the safety
of all shop personnel. The dedicated breaker providing power to the dryer MUST BE OFF, AND USE OF A SER-
VICE LOCKOUT TAG IS REQUIRED. This will prevent anyone from turning on the power as the connections are
being made. After all safety precautions have been taken the electrical connections can be made. All electrical
connections must be made by a licensed electrician. Refer to factory specifications for proper installation.
2. Connect the belt drive motor cable to the motor
cable. Congratulaons! The Powerhouse Series II Dry-
er is now fully assembled!

Recirculaon System
3730 E. Southern Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85040 USA
800-778-8779 Workhorseproducts.com 14
Powerhouse Series II Recirculaon System:
1. The impeller pulls heated air in from the blower box and directs it up through the exhaust chimney.
2. The adjustable exhaust ap directs desired amount of heated air back into the oven chamber via the
exhaust return tray. The remainder of the exhaust exits through the top of the chimney.
3. Heated air in the oven chamber is pulled down through the sucon plates and into the blower box by
the impeller.
4. Fresh air is pulled through chambers between the outer and inner walls and into the blower box. This
recovers the otherwise wasted heat from the inside walls of the oven.
5. Oven air and heated fresh air are mixed in the blower box and pulled into the impeller for exhaust.

Venlaon
3730 E. Southern Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85040 USA
800-778-8779 Workhorseproducts.com 15
The venlaon port is located next to the control box. This port can be connected to a standard 6” HVAC duct
line vented to the outside of the building. For longer duct lines to the outside of the building; or if local build-
ing codes require roof top venlaon, inline duct boosters may be used.
It is recommended that the venlaon system duct line be professionally installed in compliance with all
local building codes to ensure the safety of all shop personnel.
Venlaon Open:
When the venlaon is open more hot air
is released, which means less hot air in the
chamber. This type of airow is normally
used for water based and discharge inks.
The venlaon system needs to be open
because the evaporave chemicals from
the garments need to be released.
The venlaon system is capable of being adjusted to control the hot airow. The hot airow
interacts with the heang panels and aects how the garments are cured. The two major
sengs are open and closed, everything in-between is a variaon of either open or closed.
Venlaon Closed:
When the venlaon is closed less hot air is
released, which means more hot air in the
chamber. The hot air in the chamber helps
the dryer reach a specic temperature.
More hot air also means that the panels run
less, making it more cost eecve. This is
more like convecon type heat and is
typically used for standard plassol inks.

Filtraon System:
General use of the dryer will cause lint and debris from
garments and the area surrounding the Powerhouse II to
collect inside the internal air chambers. The lter on the side
of the dryer is designed to be easily accessed so the lter can
be cleaned. Wash with a mild soap and water. Use air hose or
allow to air dry. Filter should be completely dry before rein-
stalling into the dryer.
Workhorse Products recommends performing these roune maintenances every three to six months to
maintain opmum performance of your dryer.

Belt Tracking:
The self-tracking system is designed to keep the belt centered on
the front and rear pulley. However, somemes the belt may come
o-center. To put the belt back on center use a 7/16” socket
wrench on the bolt located on top of the dryer arm. This will lt
that side of the pulley up or down.
Gears and Chains:
Chains can loosen over me and should be inspected, adjusted
and lubricated whenever necessary.
