WARNING

• Installation of unit must be performed by a qualified installer.

• Install tumbler according to manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

• DO NOT install a tumbler with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with tumbler. Refer to section on connecting exhaust system. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct tumbler airflow and increase the risk of fire.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

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

MISE EN GARDE

• L'unité doit être installée par un installateur qualifié.

• Installer la sécheuse conformément aux instructions du fabricant et aux codes locaux.

• NE PAS installer une sécheuse avec des matériaux d'aération souples en plastique. Si un conduit d'aération souple en métal (de type feuille mince) est utilisé, il doit être d'un type spécifiquement mentionné par le fabricant de l'appareil comme convenable pour utilisation avec sécheuses. Se reporter à la section sur la façon de connecter le système d'évacuation. Les matériaux d'aération souples risquent de s'affaisser, ils s'écrasent facilement, et les fibres et les peluches s'y accumulent. Ces conditions obstruent l'écoulement de l'air et augmentent les risques d'incendie.

The tumbler must be installed on a level floor. Floor covering materials such as carpeting or tile must be removed.

To assure compliance, consult local building code requirements. The tumbler must not be installed or stored in area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the rear of the tumbler with laundry or other articles. Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the combustion chamber of the tumbler.

A typical tumbler enclosure is shown in Figure 1. Note the minimum and maximum dimensions. Local codes and ordinances must be complied with.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury, install lockable door(s) to prevent public access to rear of tumblers.

Position and Level the Tumbler

The tumbler may be moved with or without the skid. To remove the skid, unscrew the four shipping bolts, and discard them.

To fit a 170 pound tumbler (with shipping skid) through an 8 foot (2.43 meters) high door, you must remove the front access panel. The upper 3 inches (76 mm) of the stove must also be removed on 170 pound gas tumblers. Removing the entire gas or steam heater assembly and the shipping skid, will reduce the height of the 120 pound tumbler to 70 inches (1778 mm), and the 170 pound tumbler to 75 inches (1905 mm).

Level the tumbler to within 0.125 inch (3 mm) from front-to-rear (level on cylinder rib), and side-to-side (level on top panel). Shim under corners to level and stabilize unit. Tumbler must not rock.

Before Placing Tumbler into Service

1. Remove or open all panels and check accessible bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for tightness.

2. Check V-belt tension and adjust if necessary. Refer to appropriate paragraphs in Adjustments Section.

3. Replace all panels and guards.

4. Turn on electrical supply to tumbler.

5. Open supply valve for gas or steam heated tumblers.

6. After performing the previous checks, start the tumbler by pressing START (hold for approximately 3 seconds). Release the start button and open the loading door. The cylinder should stop rotating within 7 seconds after the door is opened.

7. Gas tumblers: Start the tumbler and check the

burner flame. Adjust the gas inlet shutter as required. Refer to Adjustments section.

IMPORTANT: The Electronic Ignition system will attempt to light the gas by sparking for the “trial for ignition” period. If gas does not ignite within this period, the ignition control will go into a safety lockout and the valve will no longer open until the control is reset. Refer to Tab le 1 . It may be necessary to restart several times to bleed air out of gas lines. To reset, open and close loading door, then start.

Exhaust Requirements

WARNING

A drying tumbler produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire, the tumbler must be exhausted to the outdoors.

W057

To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust tumbler air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated area such as an attic, ceiling, crawl space under a building, or concealed space of a building.

W506

Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict air flow. The opening must be increased to compensate for area taken up by louvers.

Make-up air openings in rooms containing tumbler(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other gravity vented appliances must be increased sufficiently to prevent downdrafts in any of the vents when all tumblers are in operation. Do not locate gravity vented appliances between tumbler(s) and make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to tumbler(s), increase area of duct work by 25% to compensate for any restriction in air movement.

Venting

Layout

Wherever possible, install tumblers along an outside wall, where duct length can be kept to a minimum and makeup air can be easily accessed. Construction must not block the airflow at the top rear of the tumbler. Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the tumbler combustion chamber.

Make-Up Air

A tumbler is forced air exhausted and requires provisions for make-up air to replace air exhausted by tumbler. Refer to Tabl e 3.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire due to increased static pressure, we do not recommend installation of in-line secondary lint filters or lint collectors. If secondary systems are mandated, frequently clean the system to assure safe operation.

W749

IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint collectors will cause increased static pressure. Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will decrease tumbler efficiency and may void machine warranty.

For maximum efficiency and minimum lint accumulation, tumbler must be exhausted to the outdoors by the shortest possible route.

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 duct and catch lint. Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams and joints.

70260301

Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned before installing new tumbler(s).

25

Exhaust Requirements

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

Alternate Venting for 120 Pound Tumblers

The 120 pound tumbler is equipped from the factory to exhaust from the top; however, it may be converted to exhaust out the rear by doing the following (refer to Specifications and Dimensions section):

1. Remove belt guard cover.

2. Remove 10 inch (254 mm) diameter elbow and vertical duct.

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 inch (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 shall be sealed with noncombustible material.

NOTE: For best performance, provide an individual exhaust duct for each tumbler. Do not install a hot water heater in a room containing tumblers. It is better to have the water heater in a separate room with a separate air inlet.

CUT

3. Cut out shape from belt guard cover. Refer to Figure 7.

4. Screw octagonal piece over 10 inch (254 mm) diameter opening in top of belt guard.

5. Attach new exhaust duct to exhaust thimble on rear panel, following all requirements in this section.

6. Replace belt guard cover.

Exhaust Requirements

Individual Venting

For maximum efficiency and performance, it is preferred to exhaust tumbler(s) individually to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT: At no point may the cross sectional area of installed venting be less than the cross sectional area of the exhaust outlet of the tumbler.

The exhaust duct must be designed so the static back pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm) from the exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker on the rear of the tumbler.

NOTE: Static back pressure must be measured with the tumbler running.

The maximum allowable length of venting of the same diameter as the exhaust thimble is 14 feet (4.3 meters) and two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the equivalent length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the maximum allowable equivalent length, the diameter of a round duct must be increased by 10% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 meters). Cross section area of a rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 meters). Refer to Tabl e 4 to determine equivalent venting:

With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point in the duct should be at least 1200 feet per minute (366 meters per minute) to ensure that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet per minute cannot be maintained, schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.

Manifold Venting

While it is preferable to exhaust tumblers individually to the outdoors, a main collector duct may be used if it is sized according to Figure 10 and Figure 11. This illustration indicates minimum diameters, and should be increased if collector length exceeds 20 feet (6.1 meters). Manifold duct may be rectangular in cross section, as long as area is not reduced. Provisions should be made for lint removal and cleaning of duct.

Manifold duct must be tapered, as shown in Figure 8. Individual tumbler ducts must enter manifold duct at a 45° angle in the direction if airflow.

NOTE: Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle to a collector duct. Refer to Figure 8. Doing so will cause excessive back pressure, resulting in poor performance. Never connect two tumbler exhaust ducts directly across from each other at the point of entry to manifold duct.

NOTE: The maximum length of a flexible metal duct must not exceed 2.4 m (7.87 ft.) as required to meet UL2158, clause 7.3.2A.

Duct Diameter

10 in. (254 mm) 12 in. (305 mm) 14 in. (356 mm) 16 in. (406 mm) 18 in. (457 mm)

Equivalent Length (ft.) = 1.17 x Duct Diameter (in.)

Example: A 12 inch (305 mm) diameter duct’s equivalent length of 14 feet (4.3 meters) of duct and two 90° elbows is:

Equivalent Length: = 14 ft. (4.3 m) + (2) 90° elbows

Equivalent Length of Rigid

Straight Duct

One 90° elbow = 11.6 ft. (3.5 m) One 90° elbow = 14 ft. (4.3 m) One 90° elbow = 16 ft. (4.9 m) One 90° elbow = 18.7 ft. (5.7 m) One 90° elbow = 21 ft. (6.4 m)

Table 4

= 14 ft. (4.3 m) + 14 ft. (4.3 m)

+ 14 ft. (4.3 m)

= 42 ft. (12.8 m)

T438I

Figure 8

Exhaust system must be designed so static back pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm) from exhaust thimble does not exceed maximum allowable pressure specified on installation sticker on rear of tumbler. This must be measured with all tumblers running that are vented into collector.

With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point in the duct should be at least 1200 feet per minute (366 meters per minute) to ensure that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet per minute cannot be maintained, schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.

Gas Requirements

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO NOT CONNECT THE GAS LINE TO THE TUMBLER IF THE GAS SERVICE IS NOT THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE TUMBLER SERIAL PLATE! It will first be necessary to convert the gas burner orifice and gas valve. Appropriate conversion kits are available.

W060

IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or conversions must be made by the Manufacturer’s Authorized Dealers, Distributors or local service personnel.

WARNING

The tumbler and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psig (3.45 kPa).

The tumbler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 0.5 psig (3.45 kPa).

W061R2

IMPORTANT: The installation must comply with local codes or, in the absence of local codes:

● with the latest edition of the “National Fuel

Gas Code,” ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S.A.,

● with CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Code in Canada,

● and Australian Gas Association/Australian

L.P. Gas Association requirements in Australia.

Obtain specific gas service pipe size from the gas supplier. Refer to Tab l e 7 for general pipe size.

The following must be furnished and installed by the customer for the gas service line to each tumbler. Refer to Figure 12.

● Sediment traps

● Shut-off valves

● Supply pressure taps

It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all tumbler gas connections. This can be done by installing a one inch (25 mm) pipe gas loop. Refer to Figure 13.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, if the tumbler is to be connected to Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) gas, a vent to the outdoors must be provided in the room where the tumbler is installed.

W062

NATURAL GAS line pressure must be maintained at

6.5 water column inches (1.62 kPa), with no less than 5 water column inches (1.24 kPa) and no more than

10.5 water column inches (2.61 kPa), with all gas appliances running (tumblers, water heaters, space heaters, furnace, etc.). An in-line pressure regulator may be required if the line pressure exceeds 8 water column inches (2.0 kPa) with all gas appliances running.

LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (L.P.) line pressure must be maintained at 11 water column inches (2.74 kPa), with no less than 10 water column inches (2.49 kPa) and no more than 13 water column inches (3.23 kPa), with all gas appliances running (tumblers, water heaters, space heaters, furnace, etc.).

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:

Equivalent length = Total length of main gas supply pipe to the far end of the tumblers.

= 25 ft. + 19 ft. (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe = 44 ft. (13.4 m) total gas line

Total Btu/hr = The sum of the Btu/hr of all 120 pound tumblers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.

= 9 x 300,000 = 2,700,000 Btu/hr

Using Table 7, the main supply pipe diameter should be 3 in. (76 mm).

IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated to equalize gas pressure for all tumblers connected to single gas service. Other gas using appliances should be connected upstream from loop.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.

• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.

• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.

• Never start the tumbler with any guards/ panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

W002

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, check with a qualified serviceman for proper grounding procedures. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in a risk of electric shock.

W068

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, if electrical supply is coming from a three phase service, DO NOT connect a “High Leg” or “Stinger Leg” to a single phase machine. On a three phase machine, if there is a “High Leg” or “Stinger Leg” it should be connected to L3.

W069

NOTE: To ensure protection against shock, this tumbler 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, Part I and/or local codes. Electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician.

Grounding Instructions

This tumbler must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This tumbler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the appropriate ground location.

Metal conduit and/or BX cable is not considered ground. Connecting the Neutral from the electrical service box to the tumbler ground screw does not constitute a ground. A dedicated ground conduit (wire) must be connected between the electrical service box ground bar and the tumbler ground screw.

WARNING

All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, deenergize the electrical circuit being connected to the tumbler before making any electrical connections. Never attempt to connect a live circuit.

W070

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

W071

For CE Models Only

All models are factory-equipped with an emergency stop button on the front panel.

NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop switch stops all machine control circuit functions, but DOES NOT remove all electrical power from machine.

Electrical Requirements

To Connect Electrical Service to the Tumb ler

NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the junction or contactor box.

1. Install a circuit breaker as close to the tumbler as possible. If more than one tumbler is being installed, a disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be provided for each. This will make it possible to disconnect each tumbler for maintenance purposes.

2. Connect conduit-encased leads to the disconnect switch or circuit breaker. Connect wire leads to the appropriate labeled terminal on the terminal block. The ground wire must be connected to the ground connection as shown in Figure 15.

3. Check the electrical service phase sequence (three phase only). If one of the power leads is a “high leg,” connect it to lead L3 in the tumbler. The cylinder must rotate clockwise and the fan must rotate counterclockwise (as viewed from the front of the tumbler – with selector switch in non-reverse position). If not, interchange leads L1 and L2 in the tumbler connection box.

Jumper Configuration Instructions

Changing the transformer configuration jumper is required, PRIOR TO SUPPLYING POWER TO

THE MACHINE, if any of the following apply:

IMPORTANT: Failure to install the proper configuration jumper may result in damage to sensitive electronic controls and may void warranty.

● You have 200 – 208 Volt service and are

connecting a model rated for 240 Volt operation.

Replace the 240 Volt jumper with the 208 Volt jumper per the conversion label, located on the rear of the tumbler, sign and date conversion label to document the conversion.

● You have 400 – 415 Volt service and are

connecting a model rated for 380 Volt operation.

NOTE: CE electro-mechanical timer models (MT, RT and CD control suffixes) do NOT require conversion jumper.

To Ins t a ll:

1. Immediately after connection of power leads and before applying power to machine, locate each of the incoming service leads including ground.

2. Snap the ferrite ring closed over all the service leads inside of the contactor box as shown. It is important that the ferrite ring be installed inside the contactor box. Refer to Figure 16. Do not install the ferrite outside of the box or other area. Make sure that service leads are in the center of the ferrite before closing the ring so not to pinch or damage leads.

Steam Requirements

NOTE: Machines require a constant 80 to 100 psig (5.62 to 7.03 kg/sq cm) steam service for optimum operation. The maximum allowable steam pressure for use with 60 Hertz or 50 Hertz tumblers is 125 psig (8.6 bar). In no case may the pressure exceed the above value.

Obtain specific steam service pipe sizes from steam system supplier or a qualified steam fitter.

● Refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 for proper

steam pipe configurations.

● To prevent condensate draining from headers to

tumbler, piping should have a minimum 12 inch (305 mm) rise above respective header. Do not make steam connection to header with a horizontal or downward facing tee or elbow.

● Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam

lines must drain, by gravity, to respective steam header. Water pockets or an improperly drained steam header will provide wet steam, causing improper operation of tumbler. If pockets or improper drainage cannot be eliminated, install a bypass trap to drain condensate from the low point in the steam header to the return.

● In both steam supply and steam return line, it is

recommended that each have a pipe union and shut-off valve. This will enable you to disconnect the steam connections and service the tumbler while your laundry facility is in operation.

● Connect the steam solenoid valve to the related

steam coil inlet connection with nipples, flex hoses, unions and tee.

NOTE: To prevent water hammering, route return lines below outlets of steam coils.

Piping Recommendations

● Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep

the trap clean and in good working condition.

● When tumbler is on the end of a line of

equipment, extend header at least 4 feet (1.2) beyond tumbler. Install shut-off valve, union, check valve and bypass trap at end of line. If gravity return to boiler, omit trap.

● Insulate steam supply and return line for safety of

operator and safety while servicing tumbler.

● Keep tumbler in good working condition. Repair

or replace any worn or defective parts.

WARNING

All system components must have a 125 psig (8.6 bar) working pressure. Shut-off valves must be installed upstream of the steam solenoid valve and downstream of each steam trap so components can be isolated for maintenance or emergency purposes.

All components (solenoid valve, traps) must be supported to minimize loads on the tumbler steam coil connections.

W480R2

● Strainers may require cleaning due to materials

from hoses or pipes.

● Install vacuum breaker (optional), bucket trap

with built-in strainer and check valve. For successful operation of tumbler, install trap 18 inches (457 mm) below coil and as near to the tumbler as possible. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet markings and install according to trap manufacturer's instructions. If steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap but install vacuum breaker and check valve in return line near tumbler.

● Gravity return requires entire return plumbing be

below steam coil outlets.

Steam Requirements

Installing Steam Trap and Making Condensate Return Connections

The steam trap must be installed and the coil outlet connections must be connected to the condensate return lines. The following steps outline the procedure for installing the steam trap and connecting the condensate return lines. Refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 for typical installations.

1. Use flexible lines between steam inlet solenoid and steam coils, as well as outlet between steam coil and traps.

2. If necessary, install a strainer to the end of each flexible hose.

3. Install a steam trap to each strainer.

IMPORTANT: Steam trap must be installed a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) below the steam coil outlet connections.

4. Install a shut-off valve to each steam trap.

5. Connect to the condensate return lines.

6. For steam solenoid valve wiring connections, refer to Wiring Diagram supplied with tumbler.

Thermal Oil Prep

It is the responsibility of the customer to install appropriate coil and heating system for thermal oil prep models. Alliance Laundry Systems, LLC. is not responsible for the performance or safety of the customer installed thermal oil system. To ensure proper operation, refer to the Specifications and Dimensions section for the BTU input of equivalent steam models. Thermal oil systems that do not deliver appropriate BTUs will dry slower. For solenoid valve wiring connections, refer to the Wiring Diagram supplied with tumbler.

WARNING

All system components must have a 125 psig (8.6 bar) working pressure. Shut-off valves must be installed upstream of the steam solenoid valve and downstream of each steam trap so components can be isolated for maintenance or emergency purposes.

All components (solenoid valve, traps) must be supported to minimize loads on the tumbler steam coil connections.

Adjustments

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.

• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.

• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.

• Never start the tumbler with any guards/ panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

Gas Burner Air Shutter

NOTE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system for proper combustion and maximum efficiency. Before adjusting the inlet shutters, be sure that all lint is removed from lint compartments and lint screen.

Air shutter adjustment will vary from location to location and will depend on the vent system, number of units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure. Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary air supplied to the burner, while closing the shutter decreases the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as follows:

5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.

PROPER AIRFLOW

INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW

1

NO AIRFLOW

Refer to Figure 19.

1. Remove the upper access panel.

2. Start the tumbler and check the flame pattern. If the flame pattern is straight up, insufficient air is flowing through the tumbler and airflow switch is improperly set. A flame pattern that flares to the right and left indicates no air is flowing through the tumbler. Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if the flame pattern is primarily blue, with small yellow tips, and bends to the left of the heater section. Too little air is indicated if the flame is yellow, lazy and smoky.

3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter adjusting screw.

4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain proper flame intensity.

Airflow Switch

The airflow switch is set at the factory for proper operation. No adjustment necessary. Refer to Figure 20.

IMPORTANT: The airflow switch vane must remain closed during operation for the heating system to run. If the air flow switch vane opens and closes during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient air flow through the tumbler. Any time the switch is open during the cycle, the heating system will shut off. If the switch opens and closes during the cycle, the heating system will turn off and on as the switch opens and closes (respectively). In the either case, the cylinder and fan will continue to operate normally throughout the cycle.

Belt Drive

The drive assemblies consist of motors, belts, eyebolts and a step pulley.

The pulley diameters are sized to produce a cylinder speed of 37-39 RPM for 120 pound models or 29-31 RPM for 170 pound models.

The step pulley assembly is used for speed reduction as well as a means of adjusting belt tension. The pulley mounting plate is attached to the cabinet. The frame mounting plate has vertically slotted holes allowing up and down movement of the step pulley mounting plate for belt adjustment.

Adjust the belt tension as follows:

1. Disconnect electrical power to the tumbler before attempting any adjustments to the drive assembly.

2. Loosen pulley mounting plate bolts.

3. Loosen the upper nut on the final drive eyebolt.

4. Rotate the lower nut of the final drive eyebolt clockwise until proper belt tension is achieved.

5. Rotate upper nut clockwise against the lower nut in order to lock it into place.

6. Tighten pulley mounting plate bolts. Recheck belt tension.

7. If necessary, adjust the drive motor belt tension eyebolt using a similar procedure.

8. Adjust blower belt tension on 120 pound 50 Hertz tumblers and all 170 pound tumblers using a similar procedure.

NOTE: Proper tensions for new belts are 45-55 pounds for the motor belt, 55-65 pounds for the final drive, 60-65 pounds for 120 pound blower, and 75-80 pounds for 170 pound blower measured with a Borroughs Belt Tension Gauge. Using a Browning Belt Tension Gauge, the motor belt deflection should be 0.31 inch at five pounds pressure, and final drive belt deflection should be

0.25 inch at five pounds pressure.

Belts should not slip or make any noise when starting up under normal load.
