IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING AND HANDLING
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners and top cover (or
optional box) as a means of preventing damage in transit. Upon delivery, the dryer and/or packaging, and
wooden skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any damage whatsoever is noticed, inspect
further before delivering carrier leaves.
Dryers damaged in shipment:
1.
ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.
2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker ’s receipt should be so noted.
3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers, which were not damaged in a
damaged shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the number refused must be noted
on the receipt.
4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call the
delivering carrier’s freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight company considers this
concealed damage. This type of freight claim is very difficult to get paid and becomes extremely difficult
when more than a day or two passes after the freight was delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight
claims. Dryer/parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under warranty.
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must be filed at the receiving end.
ADC assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at (508) 678-9000.

(for Electrical Connections).
A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
NOTE: The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in the
basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place, yet made
accessible because they will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the
dryer .
Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and
must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the ADC Parts Department at
(508) 678-9000.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. T o unskid
the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are
at the rear of the base and two (2) are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer off of the
skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL the leveling
legs so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling
legs, one (1) at each corner of the dryer base. The hex head adjustment bolts for the two (2) front leveling legs
are located directly behind the lower access door and the rear two (2) adjustments are directly behind the lower
rear back (guard) panel.
8 American Dryer Corp. 113047-23
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-B149.1M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P .] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General
Installation and Gas Plumbing).
1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be
removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.
IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only .”
2. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
3. The dryer is for use in noncombustible locations.
4. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided as noted in this manual (refer to Fresh Air Supply
Requirements in
5. Clearance provisions must be made
from combustible construction as noted
in this manual (refer to Dryer
Enclosure Requirements in Section
C). Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm)
clearance is acceptable, it is
recommended that the rear of the dryer
be positioned approximately 2 feet (0.61
meters) away from the nearest
obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of
installation, maintenance, and service.
(Refer to the illustration at right.)
Section D).
6. Provisions must be made for adequate
clearances for servicing and for
operation as noted in this manual (refer
to Dryer Enclosure Requirements
in Section C ).
7. Dryer must be exhausted to the
outdoors as noted in this manual (refer
to Exhaust Requirements in Section
E).
8. Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual
(refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).
IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be necessary .
9. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
113047- 23 www.adclaundry.com 9
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 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions must be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed
in if desired.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door .
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be
made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned
about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction, for ease of installation, maintenance, and service
(to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration on the previous page for details.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
IMPORTANT: Even though a minimum of only 12-inches (30.48 cm) is required, 18-inches (45.72
cm) or more is suggested. The additional clearance is advantageous for ease of
installation and service.
IMPORTANT: 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, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance is required
between dryers (or wall) 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
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in
the national installation regulations.
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 will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and
sail switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating.
10 American Dryer Corp. 113047 - 23
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer . An
unrestricted source of 800 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (22.66 cmm [cubic meters per minute]) is necessary for
each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of
1-1/2 square feet (0.41 square meters) is required for each dryer. The area must be enlarged if louvers or
registers cover the openings. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and
make-up air supply.
T o 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.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, a total make-up air opening of 12 square feet (1.12 square meters)
is required. Two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 3 feet (6 square feet) (0.61 meters
by 0.92 meters [0.56 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 .
