The gear cabinet must be installed on a level floor.
Floor covering materials such as carpeting or tile
should be removed.
To assure compliance, consult local building code
requirements. The gear cabinet must not be installed or
stored in an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the
rear of the gear cabinet with laundry or other
articles. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the combustion chamber of the gear
cabinet.
A typical gear cabinet enclosure is shown in Figure 1.
Note the minimum and maximum dimensions. Local
codes and ordinances must be complied with.
IMPORTANT: Install gear cabinets with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation, refer to

IMPORTANT: Keep gear cabinet area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
To reduce the risk of severe injury, clearance of gear cabinet from combustible
construction must conform to the minimum clearances.
W705
WARNING
Gear Cabinet Enclosure
NOTE: Shaded areas indicate adjacent structure.
1Allow 3 in. (76 mm) opening at top of machine to aid in re moval or installation.
23 in. (76 mm) minimum, 36 in. (914 mm) recommended for maintenance purposes.
30.25 in. (6 mm) recommended for removal or installation purposes, zero clearance allowed.
This procedure attaches the brackets for the Gear Rack
option to the gear cabinet. Refer to Figure 4.
1. Determine left brackets from right brackets, slots
should be toward center of cabinet. Slots in
bracket must face upward, then place bracket into
channel. Position left and right brackets at the
same height in channels.
2. Place shelf to back and center of cabinet on top of
a set of brackets. Slowly pull shelf toward front
of cabinet until it drops into slots of brackets and
will go no further.
NOTE: If installing more than one shelf, start with
lower shelf then install upper shelf.
3. Locate locking pin position, mark hole location
for the setscrew, drill and tap #10-32 hole.
4. T ake locking pin and start thumb screw in tapped
hole. Put the locking pin, thumb screw end up,
between the shelf and the inside of the shelf
bracket against the face of channel.
T o reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, we do not recommend
installation of in-line secondary lint fil ters
or lint collectors. If secondary systems
are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
W355
Exhaust Requirements
Layout
Whenever possible, install gear cabinet along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a
minimum, and make-up air can be easily accessed.
Construction must not block the airflow at the rear of
the gear cabinet. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the gear cabinet combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A gear cabinet is forced air exhausted and requires
provisions for make-up air to replace air exhausted by
gear cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
Required Make-Up Air Opening (to the outside) for
each gear cabinet is:
60 square inches (387 sq. cm)
Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow . The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, gear cabinet air must be exhausted to
the outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Ductwork should not be over 14 feet (4.3 m) and two
90° elbows. Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential
for proper operation. All elbows should be sweep type.
Exhaust ducts must be assembled so the interior
surfaces are smooth, so the joints do not permit the
accumulation of lint. DO NOT use plastic or thin foil
ducts – rigid metal ducts are recommended. Use
exhaust ducts made of sheet metal or other
noncombustible material. DO NOT use sheet metal
screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which
extend into the ducts and catch lint. Use duct tape or
pop-rivets on all seams and joints.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new gear cabinet(s).
Make-up air openings in rooms containing gear
cabinet(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other
gravity vented appliances must be increased
sufficiently to preve nt downdrafts in any of the vents
when all gear cabinet(s) are in operation. Do not locate
gravity vented appliances between gear cabinet(s) and
make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct makeup air to gear cabinet(s), increase area of duct work by
25% to compensate for restrictions in air movement.
Venting
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure.
Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will
decrease gear cabinet efficiency and may void
machine warranty.
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material.
For best performance provide an individual
exhaust duct for each gear cabinet. Do not install a
hot water heater in a room containing gear
cabinets. It is better to have the water heater in a
separate room with a separate air inlet.

Grounding Instructions
NOTE: To ensure protection against shock, this
gear cabinet MUST be electrically grounded in
accordance with the local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. In Canada the
electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with CSA C22.1 latest edition Canadian Electrical
Code, or local codes. Electrical work should be
done by a qualified electrician.
This gear cabinet must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
