Safety Precautions ___________________

!

WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must
be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or
to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss
of life.

The dryer must never be operated with any of the
back guards, outer tops, or service panels removed.
Personal injury or fire could result.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while
it is in operation.

Purchaser/user should consult the local gas supplier for
proper instructions to be followed in the event the user
smells gas. The instructions should be posted in a
prominent location.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.

Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Although ADC produces a very versatile dryer, there are some

articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method,
should not be dried in it.

!

WARNING

Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents, a
combustible detergent, industrial chemicals, or “all
purpose” cleaner. Explosion could result.

Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated
with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion
could result.

Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or
flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.

Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic,
foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber
materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage
plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard.

The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage
to the machine and harmful fumes.

A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the heating unit area, exhaust ductwork,
and inside 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.

For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada,
the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990
or LATEST EDITION.

NOTE: Failure to do so will void the warranty.

Under no circumstances should the dryer door switch, lint
drawer switch, or heat safety circuits ever be disabled.

!

WARNING

Personal injury or fire could result.

This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning
solvents or fumes.

Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.

!

WARNING

Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire hazard.

Do not operate steam dryers with more than 125 psi (8.61
bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can
damage steam coil and/or harm personnel.

Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures
immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible
hoses. Personal injury may result.

Read and follow all caution and direction labels attached to
the dryer.

For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than sixty-six
percent, 270 lb (122.47 kg) of its rated capacity.

!

WARNING

You must disconnect and lockout the electric supply
and the gas supply or the steam supply before any
covers or guards are removed from the machine to
allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation, or
testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.

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).

CE ONLY

IMPORTANT: This appliance must only be installed and
operated in the country of destination indicated on the
dryer’s data plate. If the appliance is to be installed and
operated in a country other than the one indicated on the
data plate, a data plate amendment must be obtained
from American Dryer Corporation.

Reassembly of Dryer _________________

IMPORTANT: Always keep the tumbler section of the
dryer in an upright position when moving it.

The dryer may be shipped 1 of 2 ways: as a complete unit
fully assembled and ready for hookup or with the tumbler
section separated from the base. If the dryer is shipped in
2 pieces, the tumbler section will have to be lifted onto the
base. Use cables through the eyebolts on top of the tumbler
section, or use a forklift for the lifting process.

The tilting dryer is made in many loading and unloading
options. Please refer to the reassembly instructions on the
following pages for your particular style of dryer.

If a steam dryer is shipped in 2 pieces, the steam coil may
have been removed from the top of the tumbler section and
shipped with the base. If this is the case, lift the steam coil
onto the top of the tumbler section with the steam pipe
connections facing towards the right side of the dryer and
bolt the coil to the top of the dryer with the 1/4” hardware
supplied. There are 3 panels that cover the front, right side,
and rear of the steam coil. Fasten these in proportion also.
Reconnect the steam and condensate pipe unions to the
coil. These pipes run down to the flex hoses in the base.

1 Door / Forward Tilt – Gas Model

113112-10 www.adclaundry.com 9

1 Door / Forward Tilt – Gas Model

Reassembly Instructions
for 1 Door / Forward Tilt Gas Dryers

Lift the tumbler section onto the base.
Forward tilt dryers have 2 tilting pistons in the rear of the

base. On the top of each piston is a clevis block. Use the
four 1/2” x 1-1/8” long hex head bolts with lock washers to
secure each piston clevis block to the bottom of the tumbler
section. (Refer to [top] View 1 on the previous page.)

The flexible gas hose union is disconnected when the dryer
is shipped in 2 pieces. The flexible gas hoses are located
in the right side of the base. Insert the flexible hoses with
the union half up through the hole on the bottom of the
tumbler section and retighten the union. The flex hoses
must not be kinked. (Refer to View 2 above.)

There are 2 electrical reconnections:
A plug and cable is located in the right side of the base.

This must be lifted up and reconnected into the mating
socket located at the bottom of the right tumbler section.

The tumbler section power cable must be lifted up from the
base and reconnected into the junction box next to the
tumbler drive motor in the left side of the tumbler section.

Make sure both reconnected cables have enough slack in
them to allow the dryer to tilt freely in both directions.

Reattach the tilt guard panels:
Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the right side and

left side tilt guards.
Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the rear tilt guards

on the rear of the base. Also, secure both outside edges of
the rear tilt guard to each side guard using sheet metal
screws.

Secure the 28-inch (71.12 cm) diameter exhaust duct
transition piece to the dryer’s rectangular exhaust duct with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screws supplied with the dryer. The
exhaust duct exits from the rear of the base.

On dryers equipped with an automatic (piston operated)
load door, reconnect the 2 poly-flo air lines that run from the
base up to the door pistons.

Reattach the tilt guard panels:
Use 1/4-20 x 3/8” hex head bolts with lock washers to bolt

the top of the front and rear tilt guard up into the bottom of
the tumbler section.

Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the right side and
left side tilt guards.

Secure the 28-inch (71.12 cm) diameter exhaust duct
transition piece to the dryer’s rectangular exhaust duct with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screws supplied with the dryer. The
