7. A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. WARNING: The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire hazard. 8. For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA

SECTION III INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1- LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Pro

B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1- M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing). 1.

9. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. 10. 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. IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient temperature remains between 40º F (4.44º C) and 130º F (54.44º C). C. DRYER EN

It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to ALL the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, a total make-up air opening of 16 square feet (1.49 square meters) is required. Two (2) openings measuring 2 feet by 4 feet (0.61 meter

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. 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 thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. CAUTION: DR

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.). NOTE: Careful consideration should be given to where the exhaust duct is located in relation to the make-up air openings. If make-up air opening is too close to exhaust outlet, lint and fumes will be drawn back into the dryer area through these openings. If the length of the ductwork run or quantity of elbows used exceeds

The illustration below shows the ductwork connection points and what internal ductwork is included in the dryer. The exhaust connection at the top basket (tumbler) must be made at the blower duct inside the cabinet. No internal ductwork is included for the top basket (tumbler) (not available from ADC and must be purchased elsewhere). Depending on the external ductwork layout, the installer has the option of the ductwork coming out of the top or the back of the dryer. The ductwork used inside o

a. Connecting Both Top Baskets (Tumblers) and Bottom Baskets (Tumblers) Together Both the top basket (tumbler) and the bottom basket (tumbler) can “Y” together to form one (1) connection point. The bottom basket (tumbler) already includes a 6-inch (15.24 cm) diameter ducting extending to the lower back guard area. The minimum connection at this point is 8-inches (20.32 cm). The upper basket (tumbler) includes no internal ductwork (not provided by ADC, must be purchased elsewhere, must be a min

3. Single Dryer Venting When possible, it is suggested that a separate exhaust duct be provided for each dryer. The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns be avoided; use 30º or 45º angles instead. The shape of the exhaust ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured
