WARNING: DO NOT dry rags or articles coated with gasoline, kerosene, paint, wax, or grease. FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. WARNING: DO NOT dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard. WARNING: DO NOT use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubberlike materials. Drying in a heated basket (tumbler) may damage plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard. 5. A program should be established for the inspec

3. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up. C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 6-inches (15.24 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if d

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air for 800 cfm (22.65 cmm) is necessary for each dryer. An unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. This area must be enlarged if louvers or registers cover the opening. It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat protector thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. CAUTION:This dryer produces combustible lin

The main duct may be any shape of cross section area, so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. Figure 1, shown above, shows the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased if more than twelve (12) dryers are connected to the same main (common) duct, if the main duct end run is unusually long (20 feet [6.1 meters] or more), or if there are numerous elbows in the main duct end run. In calculating duct size, the cross section area of a squ

4. Electrical Connections for Gas Dryers A wiring diagram is located inside the front wiring box. a. Single-Phase (1ø) Dryers The electrical connections for dryers manufactured for operation at single-phase (1ø) (2-wire) are made through the top of the dryer, at the rear. The dryer is shipped with the three (3) connection leads (L1, L2 or N, and ground) for each basket (tumbler) compartment extending out of the top connector holes. Each basket (tumbler) compartment has its own set of connecting

5. Electrical Connections for Electric Dryers The electrical input connections for each basket (tumbler) section are made at each oven contactor, located at the rear of the dryer. The only electrical connections needed are the 3-phase (3ø) leads (L1, L2, and L3) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuit is done by the factory at the contactors (relay), and no other wiring connections are necessary. NOTE: It is recommended that a circuit servicing each basket (tumbler) section

a. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas Dryers manufactured for use with liquid propane (L.P.) gas have no pressure regulator or means of regulation built into the dryer. Regulation must be provided at the gas supply (L.P. tank) or, in the case where another gas appliance of a higher required gas pressure is on the same supply line, separate regulators (vented to the outdoors) servicing each dryer should be provided. 15

IMPORTANT: Water column (W.C.) pressure of 11.0 inches (27.4 mb) is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation. This will result in a manifold pressure of 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column. The 11.0 inch (27.4 mb) water column pressure should be obtained when the gas valve is firing in its high-fire stage. WARNING: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent also works well.) WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS W
