Clearance provisions must be made from combustible construction as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements section).

Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for servicing and for operation as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements section).

The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements section).

The dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements section).

IMPORTANT: The dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust ducting will be necessary.

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 buildup.

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).

Unpacking / Setting Up ________________

Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from the 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 the skid from the AD-35i, AD-50i/M-50p, or AD-80i/M-80p, locate and remove the 2 bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. One is located at the center rear and the other is at the center front and is accessed by opening the lint door.

With the skid removed, use caution and assure all four leveling legs are fully retracted if the dryer is to be slid into its final position.

Leveling Dryer

The dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each corner of the base. For optimum performance the dryer should be level front-to-back and side-to-side.

Reversing the Main Loading Door Hinge Side

The dryer is shipped with the main door hinge on the righthand side as standard. The swing of the door is field reversible. If required, the front panel can be reversed so that the door hinges on the left-hand side.

Procedure for reversing the Front Panel:

1. Disconnect the power to the dryer.

2. Remove the main loading door from the front panel by removing the top hinge block. A 3/16” Allen wrench is required. Support the door while removing the top hinge block so that it does not fall. Now lift the door off the bottom hinge.

3. Remove the bottom hinge block. Remove the plastic washer from the bottom hinge block and place it in the same location on the top hinge block.

4. Open the lint door and remove the three screws retaining the front panel at the bottom. Swing the bottom of the front panel away from the dryer about three inches. Reach behind the front panel and disconnect the door switch plug located in the lower right corner.

5. Open the control door and remove the four screws retaining the front panel at the top. Be careful that the front panel does not fall when the last screw is removed.
