IMPORTANT: The dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be

necessary.

9. The dryer must be installed with adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.

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: The dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient

temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).

B. UNPACKING/SETTING UP

Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.

IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.

The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove skid from the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) lag bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the rear base, and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two (2) lag bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint drawer and the three (3) Phillips head screws securing the lint door in place.

1. Leveling Dryer

a. To level the dryer, place 4-inch (10.16 cm) square metal shims or other suitable material under the base

pads. It is suggested that the dryer be tilted slightly to the rear (refer to the illustration above).

b. The V-belts are disconnected from the basket (tumbler) drive motor for shipping. Reconnect V-belts

before starting the dryer.

2. If more headroom is needed when moving the dryer into position, the top console (module) may be removed.

To Remove Top Console (module)...

d. Disconnect air connection from the 3-way micro valve.

e. Lift the console (module) off of the dryer base.

IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned approximately 24-inches (60.96 cm) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation, maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required between the bulkhead facing and the top of the dryer.

NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after the dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be

located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer top console (module) and 18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam models.

NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm)

above the dryer console (module) is required. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however, 1 or 2-inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) is suggested for ease of installation and maintenance. Allowances must be made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door.

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency sail switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.

Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 3,700 cfm (cubic feet per minute [104.77 cmm] [cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each gas dryer and 4,400 cfm (124.59 cmm) must be supplied to each steam dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 4 square feet (0.37 square meters) is required for each gas dryer and a minimum of 4.75 square feet (0.44 square meters) for each steam dryer.

To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air must be increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.

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.

will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and

EXAMPLE: For a bank of six (6) dryers, 2 unrestricted openings measuring 3 feet by 4 feet (12 square feet

[0.91 meters by 1.22 meters] [1.11 square meters]) are acceptable.

Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes.

Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.

NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.

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: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

NOTE: When a dryer is exhausted separately, it is recommended that a back draft damper be

installed.

NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be

supplied with a back draft damper.

The 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. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.

When single dryer venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet should not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet should not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not so critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns be avoided; use 30º and/or 45º bends/angles instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. Excluding basket (tumbler)/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no more than two (2) elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than two (2) elbows are used, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows used.

ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.

ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less

than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible

materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork

system.

NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for Type 2 clothes dryers shall be

constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”

a. Outside Ductwork Protection

1) To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust

ductwork.

2. Single Dryer Venting

Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct 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 90° turns in the ducting be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles instead. The shape of the exhaust ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross section area is provided.

IMPORTANT: The minimum duct size for a gas unit is 18-inches (45.72 cm) for a round duct

16-inches x 16-inches (40.64 cm x 40.64 cm) for a square duct and for a steam unit 20-inches (50.80 cm) for a round duct and 18-inches x 18-inches (45.72 cm x 45.72 cm) for a square duct. THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE REDUCED

ANYWHERE DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER.

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler) exhaust

duct area must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

It is suggested that the ductwork from each dryer not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) with no more than two (2) elbows (excluding dryer connections). If the ductwork exceeds 20 feet (6.09 meters) or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the length and number of elbows in it. In calculating duct size, the cross-sectional area of a square or rectangular duct must be increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust duct should be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional 15 feet (4.57 meters). Each 90º elbow is equivalent to an additional 40 feet (12.19 meters), and each 45º elbow is equivalent to an additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be

increased to an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) more than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.09 meters) with two (2) elbows. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible

materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

a. Outside Ductwork Protection

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust

ductwork.

3. Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

If it

is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of the flow and should be spaced at least 55-3/4” (141.61 cm) apart. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 18-inch (45.72 cm) duct is added.

IMPORTANT: The dryer is not provided with a back draft damper. When exhausted into a multiple

(common) exhaust line, a back draft damper must be installed at each dryer duct.

IMPORTANT: No more than three (3) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct.

The main duct may be any shape or cross-sectional area, so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. The illustrations on page 20 show the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures must be increased 10 square inches (64.52 square centimeters) when rectangular main ducting is used, and the ratio of duct width to depth should not be greater than 3-1/2 to

1. These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run to the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is unusually long (over 20 feet [6.09 meters]) or has numerous elbows (more than two [2]) in it. In calculating ductwork size, the cross-sectional area of a square or rectangular duct must be increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust must be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). Each 90° elbow is equivalent to an additional 40 feet (12.19 meters) and each 45° elbow is equivalent to an additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible

materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this duct.

a. Outside Ductwork Protection

1) To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust

ductwork.

It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance Btu being supplied.

The dryer is provided with a 1-1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection extending out the back area of the burner box. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1-1/2” N.P.T. For ease in servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.

The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas operated appliances on the same line, etc. Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas supplier.

NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent pressure, which will result in

erratic operation of the burner ignition system.

Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 1-1/2” (3.81 cm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure.

NOTE: A consistent water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches

(26.1 mb) for L.P. dryers is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation.

A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately upstream of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be used.

IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid

detergent works well).

3. Installation Instructions

To ensure an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure that the steam supply lines and steam return lines are sized and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam supply lines and steam return lines or improper steam plumbing will result in poor performance and can cause component failure. Clean, dry steam must be provided to the dryer.

IMPORTANT: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet steam will VOID THE WARRANTY.

a. The presence of the condensate in the steam supply line will cause water hammer and subsequent heat

exchanger (steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the main supply line must be made with a minimum 10-inch (25.4 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining towards the dryer.

aPk268

rh/gk58.823

b. The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch (30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and

check valve. This will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.

c. Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause

the steam coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and return mains.

d. Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply line, return line, and drip trap return line.

This will allow the dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the return main if the dryer needs maintenance work.

e. Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam

coil as close to the coil as possible.

An inverted bucket steam trap with a capacity of 2,000 lb (907.18 kg) of condensate per hour @ 125 psi (8.62 bar) is required for each dryer.

f. A 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) vacuum breaker should be installed. This will save energy and provide for the

safety of the operator and maintenance personnel.

g. Dryers with optional solenoid valve must be mounted with coil positioned directly above the valve body.

h. Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil possibly

causing steam coil damage. (6.35 mm) for every one foot (0.30 meters) back towards the steam supply header causing the condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.

STEAM DAMPER SYSTEM

Steam Damper Air System Connections

The dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an external supply of compressed air. The air connection is made to the steam damper solenoid valve, which is located at the rear inner top area of the dryer just in front of the electric service relay box. (Refer to the bottom illustration on page 32.)

c. No air regulator or filtration is provided with the dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 psi (5.51 bar)

must be provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge arrangement be added to the compressed air line just before the dryer connection. This is necessary to ensure that correct and clean air pressure is achieved.

5. Steam Damper System Operation

The steam damper as shown in the top illustration on page 32, allows the coil to stay constantly charged eliminating repeated expansion and contraction. When the damper is opened, the air immediately passes through the already hot coil, providing instant heat to start the drying process. When the damper is closed, ambient air is drawn directly into the basket (tumbler), allowing a rapid cool down.

Diagram 1 shows the damper in the heating (open) mode, allowing heat into the basket (tumbler).

Diagram 2 shows the damper in the cool down (closed) mode, pulling ambient air directly into the basket

(tumbler) without passing through the coils.

NOTE: With the dryer off or with no air supply, the steam damper is in cool down mode as shown in

Diagram 2 at the top of page 32.

6. Steam Damper Air Piston (Flow Control) Operation Adjustment

Although the steam damper operation was tested and adjusted prior to shipping at 80 psi (5.51 bar), steam damper operation must be checked before the dryer is put into operation. Refer to the illustration above for correct steam damper operation. If steam damper adjustment is necessary, locate the flow control valve and make the necessary adjustments as noted below.

12. GAS MODELS AND STEAM MODELS – check to ensure air supply (80 psi [5.51 bar]) is connected to the dryer.

13. STEAM MODELS – check to ensure ALL steam shutoff valves are open.

14. STEAM MODELS – check steam damper operation.

15. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure they are ALL tight.

J. PREOPERATIONAL TEST

ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or

due to marginal location (installation) conditions.

1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.

2. Make sure the main door is closed and the lint drawer is securely in place.

3. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.

4. Check to ensure that the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to ensure that the blower motor impellor (fan) rotates in the clockwise (CW) direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.

IMPORTANT: Dryer blower motor/pulley that drives the impellor/fan (squirrel cage) when viewed

from the back of the dryer must turn in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction, otherwise the dryer efficiency will be drastically reduced and premature component failure can result.

5. Heat Circuit Operational Test

a. Gas Models

1) When the dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner has a tendency not to ignite on the first attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for this air to be purged from the lines.

2) The dryer is equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal diagnostics. If ignition is not established after three (3) attempts, the heat circuit DSI module will LOCKOUT until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer (press the “START” key).

NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.

3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.

NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap)...

Natural Gas --------------------- 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas --- 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column.

IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in a liquid propane (L.P.) dryer. The water column

(W.C.) pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each dryer.

b. Steam Models

Check to ensure that the steam damper is functioning properly.

The steam damper should not “slam” (open or closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel. Additionally, the steam damper should not bind and/or stop during travel. If either of these conditions occur, the flow control must be adjusted. Refer to the bottom illustration on page 32 for air adjustment instructions.

6. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail switch on gas models).

NOTE: To check for proper sail switch operation, open the main door and while holding main door

switch plunger in, start the dryer. The dryer should start but the heat circuit should not be activated (on). If the heat (burner) does activate, shut the dryer off and make the necessary adjustments.

7. Reversing basket (tumbler) dryers should never be operated with less than a 112 lb (51 kg) load (dry weight), since the load’s weight affects basket (tumbler) coast time during a direction reversal command. It is important that the basket (tumbler) come to a complete stop prior to starting in opposite direction.

Microprocessor Controller (computer) Dryer Models

a. Spin and dwell (stop) times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed

into the microprocessor controller (computer) for 150-seconds spin time in the forward direction and 120-seconds in the reverse direction with a 5-second dwell (stop) time.

b. Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable in the Manual (timed) Mode.

BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING

The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove this coating.

8. Each dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that

9. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.

Microprocessor Controller (computer) Programs/Selections...

Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer changes are required, refer to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.

SECTION VI

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

A. CLEANING

A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.

WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE

ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

NOTE: REMOVE POWER FROM THE DRYER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY

MAINTENANCE IN THE DRYER (cleaning the lint drawers and both steam coil lint screens are the only exceptions).

NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered six (6) to eight (8)

operational (running) hours per day.

IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6

months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.

CLEAN LINT FROM LINT DRAWER/SCREEN EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD.

NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can best be determined from experience at each

location.

WEEKLY

Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket) area.

WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

STEAM DRYERS

Clean the steam coil fins. Suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.

NOTE: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by

using a fin comb, which is available from any local air-conditioning supply house.

90 DAYS

Remove lint from around basket (tumbler), drive motors, and surrounding areas. Remove lint from the gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

Impellor (fan/blower) shaft bearings should be lubricated using Shell Alvania grease NLGI 2 or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil.

Check to make sure that the setscrews on the impellor/fan shaft bearings are tight.

NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching the direct spark ignitor.

Remove lint accumulation from inside.

6 MONTHS

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

NOTE: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

NOTE: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.

CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shut down of

the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the

cleaning of appliances is recommended.

Check ALL V-belts for tightness and wear. Retighten, realign, or replace if required.

NOTE: V-belts should be replaced in matched sets (pairs).

B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (i.e., unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Fan (impellor) V-belts, along with the motor and drive belts should be examined and replaced if necessary. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (i.e., door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).

NOTE: Squirrel cage type fan (impellor) on the blower motor must be inspected and cleaned

every 6 months.

C. LUBRICATION

The fan shaft bearings and ALL the basket (tumbler) drive shaft and idler shaft bearings must be lubricated every 3 months. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. Lubrication is necessary or premature bearing failure will be the result.

The motor bearings are permanently lubricated and DO NOT require to be serviced.

SECTION VII

MANUAL RESET BURNER HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS

A. PHASE 7

This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat, which is monitored by the Phase 7 computer. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and then shut down, the Phase 7 computer will display “BURNER HIGH LIMIT FAULT” with an audio indication.

If the burner hi-limit opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7 computer will also display the same error code described above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer will continue to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped below 100° F (38° C). The clear/stop button on the Phase 7 keypad must be pressed to clear the error condition. The open burner hi-limit must be reset “manually” prior to the start of the next cycle.

B. DUAL TIMER

This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, or during the cycle, the dryer will not recognize the open state of the burner hi-limit and will start or continue through the drying cycle with no heat. Manual reset hi-limit must be reset manually.

This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow, or improper burner operation.

The location of the burner hi-limit is on the right side of the burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the dryer.

WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.

SECTION VIII

SECTION X

PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECK

OF REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS

1. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Board

a. Phase 7 Non-Coin Models

1) Upon completing installation of the replacement microprocessor controller (computer) board, reestablish power to the dryer.

2) Start the drying cycle by pressing any of the preset cycles in letters A-F.

3) Verify that the applicable indicator lights on the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit. (Refer to the illustration below.)

2. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (Type I)

Theory of Operation:

Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module will “LOCKOUT” (light emitting diode [L.E.D.] diagnostic indicator flashes).

A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.

No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.

For Models with DSI Module (Type II)

is not sensed at the end

Theory of Operation:

Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module will “LOCKOUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will flash).

An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.

A lit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that ALL interlocks have been satisfied.

SECTION XI

SENSOR ACTIVATED

FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM

The exclusive S.A.F.E. system will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket (tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the system was activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.

BEFORE YOU START, CHECK LOCAL CODES AND PERMITS

Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority for information regarding local codes.

IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified

professional to assure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.

IMPORTANT: It is the installer’s or owner’s responsibility to see that the necessary or required

water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed, or maintained properly.

INSTALLATION

1. Requirements

The S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2-inch and be provided with 40 psi ± 20 psi (2.75 bar ± 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure requirements is required.

Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.

IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard

plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/ freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will

be INOPERATIVE!!

IMPORTANT: Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old

hose set should not be reused.

2. Water Connections:

The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adaptor of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photo).

The water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T. connection supplied with a 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adaptor to provide the minimum 1/2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.

NOTE: The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw thread. It is not to be confused with

3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer opposed to the mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread designs are not compatible.

IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard

plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY. It is recommended that a filter or strainer be installed in the water supply line.

Typical water supply...

OPTIONAL MANUAL BYPASS

Provisions are made in the dryer S.A.F.E. system for the installation of an optional manual bypass. Depending on the model dryer, the connections for the manual bypass are made at the “T” or “three way” fitting, located in the outlet supply side of the water solenoid valve. The use and connections of this manual bypass are at the option or discretion of the owner.

The water connection for the manual bypass is made to the “T” or “three way” fitting, which has a 3/8” F.P.T. and a coupling must be used to provide the minimum 1/2” supply (feed) line.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

will be exposed to cold/freezing

WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will

be INOPERATIVE!!

The manual ball cock shutoff valve must be located outside of the dryer at a distance from the dryer where it is easily accessible.

3. Electrical Requirements

No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the S.A.F.E. system is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls).

WARNING: Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at ALL times. If the main electrical

power supply to the dryer is disconnected, the S.A.F.E. system is INOPERATIVE!!

S.A.F.E. SYSTEM THEORY OF OPERATION

While the dryer is in an idle state or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the S.A.F.E. system probe located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded S.A.F.E. system probe temperature is no less than 120° F (48° C) and the control detects a 50° rise in temperature, this

While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control detects an exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C) the trip point will be 185° F (85° C).

will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate.

Once the S.A.F.E. system routine is activated, water water is being injected into the basket (tumbler); the basket (tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue for a minimum of 2 minutes. After 2 minutes has elapsed, the control will check if the temperature remained above trip point, if so water will remain on. The control will continue to check if temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the water

will be turned off regardless of the temperature. If the temperature has dropped below trip point, the

control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

will be injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Anytime

SYSTEM RESET

After the microprocessor determines that the situation is under control and shuts the water being injected into the basket (tumbler) off, the microprocessor display will read “S.A.F.E. System activated,” and the horn/tone will sound until reset manually.

To reset the microprocessor once the control displays “S.A.F.E. System activated,” press the red “STOP” key on the keypad.

NON-COIN S.A.F.E. SYSTEM CHECK PROCEDURE

The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to ensure that the water supply system and valve are functional. Before attempting system check, be sure that ALL water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in the OPEN position, and the dryer must be in the “READY” mode where no cycle is loaded or in progress.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the red “STOP” key (while in “READY” mode and no cycle in progress).

2. Press and hold the “A” key.

3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.

IMPORTANT: This is a test function only and the keys should be held and system activated for only

a second or so, otherwise water will accumulate in various places in the dryer.
