WARNING: To avoid fire hazard, do not dry articles containing foam rubber or similar texture materials.
Do not put into this dryer flammable items such as baby bed mattresses, throw rugs,undergarments (brassieres, etc.) and other items which use rubber as padding or backing. Rubber easily oxidizes causing excessive heat and possible fire. These items should be air dried.
WARNING: Synthetic solvent fumes from drycleaning machines create acids when drawn through the dryer. These fumes cause rusting of painted parts, pitting of bright or plated parts, and completely removes the zinc from galvanized parts, such as the tumbler basket. If drycleaning machines are in the same area as the tumbler, the tumbler's make-up air must come from a source free of solvent fumes.
WARNING: Do not operate without guards in place.
WARNING: Check the lint trap often and clean as needed but at least a minimum of once per day.
WARNING: Alterations to equipment may not be carried out without consulting with the factory and only by a qualified engineer or technician. Only Manufacturer parts may be used.
WARNING: Remove clothes from dryer as soon as it stops. This keeps wrinkles from setting in and
reduces the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
WARNING: Be safe - shut main electrical power and gas supply off externally before attempting service.
WARNING: Never use drycleaning solvents, gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquids in the dryer.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION WILL OCCUR. NEVER PUT FABRICS TREATED WITH THESE LIQUIDS INTO THE DRYER. NEVER USE THESE LIQUIDS NEAR THE DRYER..
WARNING:Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
WARNING: Never let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury could occur if a child should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
WARNING: Never tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say they are machine dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer. These fibers cause skin irritation if they become mixed with other fabrics.
WARNING: Before operating gas ignition system - purge air from natural gas or propane gas lines per manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance other than cleaning the lint trap. Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.

Rules for Safe Operation of Dryer
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION OF DRYER
1. Be sure your dryer is installed properly in accordance with the
recommended instructions.
2. CAUTION Be safe—shut main electrical power supply and gas supply off
externally before attempting service.
3. CAUTION Never use drycleaning solvents: gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquids in the dryer. Never put fabrics treated with these liquids into the dryer. Never use these liquids near the dryer. Always keep the lint screen clean. Never use heat to dry items that contain plastic, foam or sponge rubber,
or rags coated with oils, waxes or paints. The heat may damage the material or create a fire hazard. Rubber easily oxidizes, causing
excessive heat and possible fire. Never dry the above items in the dryer.
4. Never let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury will occur if a child should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
5. Never use dryer door opening and top as a step stool.
6. Read and follow manufacturer's instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed any warnings or precautions.
7. Never tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say they are machine dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer and could cause skin irritation if they become mixed into other fabrics.
8. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Fire and explosion will occur.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
1. Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting. Turned elbows and long vent tubing tend to increase drying time. Longer drying time means the use of more energy and higher operating costs.
2. Operate dryer using full-size loads. Very large loads use extra energy. Very small loads waste energy.
3. Dry light-weight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics. You will use less energy and get more even drying results by drying fabrics of similar weight together.
4. Clean the lint screen area daily. A clean lint screen helps give faster, more economical drying.
5. Do not open the dryer door while drying, you let warm air escape from the dryer into the room.
6. Unload your dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to re-start your dryer to remove wrinkles.

Direct-Spark Ignition Operation
DIRECT SPARK IGNITION OPERATION
NOTE: All HD dryers are equipped with the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) modules.
These are designed to increase dryer efficiency and to reduce dryer operating costs. The main burner is directly ignited from a spark electrode. A burning flame provides an electrical path for a small amount of sensing current to allow gas valve operation. If the main burner flame extinguishes for any reason (aside from the thermostatic control) sensing current will shut down the gas valve and the spark ignition circuit.
1 . Once flame is established, the spark shuts off, and the main burner flame is
then electronically monitored by means of a sensing spark probe which is located over the burner. The gas valve remains energized (open).
2 . If no flame is detected within the first 11 seconds the DSI will
go into a safety “lock-out”. The gas valve is energized.
3 . If recovery from a safety lockout requires one of the following:
A. Opening the main door thus interrupting power to the DSI
module and allowing dryer diagnostic troubleshooting.
B. Disconnecting the entire dryer from a power source using a
circuit breaker of a switch.
4 . By closing the main door the ignition circuit will be restored for
another trial of the ignition circuit.
5. Once the thermostatic control has been satisfied by reaching a pre-set temperature, or the drying timer has been timed out, the ignition circuit will be de-energized, thus extinguishing the flames.
6 . The dryer will continue to run in a cool-down mode without heat. This
process will cool the load to the touch and help to eliminate wrinkling.
7 . The cool-down time is pre-set on some models and manually set
on other dryer models. The cool-down cycle prevents fabric wrinkles by allowing clothes to reach room ambient temperature while still in a continuous levitation state until clothes are ready to be folded or pressed.

General Maintenance
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Clean lint trap daily. Remove lint before or after each day of
operation. A clean lint trap will increase the efficiency of the dryer and the moisture-laden air will be exhausted outside more quickly.
2. Keep basket and sweep sheets clean. Clean as often as needed. The
basket and sweep sheets are accessible by removing the front panel of the dryer.
3. Gas burners. Check and clean often.
4. Pulleys and belts. Keep clean as oil and dirt will shorten the life of a
belt. Check periodically for alignment. Pulley shafts must be parallel and the grooves must be aligned. Check belt tension periodically. Adjust tension by movement of idler bracket. Lubricate idler pulley once every two months using six grams of high temperature grease. Do not over-grease.
5. Electric motor. Keep motor clean and dry. Motors are packed with
sufficient grease for 10 years normal service. After that, bearings and housing should be cleaned and repacked one third full with Chevron Grease No. SR1-2. See label on motor for further information.
6. Adjustable leveling bolts. One at each corner permits accurate
alignment of dryer. To adjust: Block one corner of dryer up off the floor, loosen hex nut. With wrench, turn bolt clockwise to raise dryer, opposite to lower. Rear bolts are outside of dryer and front bolts are inside lint trap compartment and behind lower left 5 x 7 panel.
7. Periodically clean and examine exhaust system.
8. Keep dryer area clean and free of gasoline, combustible materials and
other flammable liquids or vapors.
9. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (make-up) air and ventilating
air.
10. Check gas pressure periodically.
11. Gear reducer. Maintain oil level at half the depth of oil cup. Change
oil every six months.

BASKET ALIGNMENT— DOUBLE MOTOR MODEL
1. Loosen the 4 gear reducer mounting bolts (1, 2, 3 and 4) on rear of dryer, and 2 adjusting bolts #5, on gear reducer housing. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Place one “A” and two “B” diameter pins inside the drying compartment between the rim of the basket opening and the rim of the door opening in the positions shown. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Check the two “B” pins for equal clearance.
3. With the pins in postions, tighten the two #5 bolts until flush against back of dryer. Re-tighten gear reducer mounting bolts in the numerical order indicated in Figure 3. Tighten lock nuts #6 to secure bolts #5 in position. Then remove pins.
4. Check the space between basket and door opening at “A” pin and “B” pin positions. Refer to Figure 2. If the gap is not approximately the same on both sides, repeat steps 1-3.
NOTE: Use short sections of round steel rod for pins or drill bits may be used in place of round rod.

Shimming the Basket and Spider Assembly
SHIMMING THE BASKET AND SPIDER ASSEMBLY
This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the basket or the spider assembly on any dryer tumbler. The alignment of these two parts are crucial in assuring a true running basket.
1. Align the basket. Refer to Basket Alignment Section.
2. Rotate the basket to determine where the most out of round point is (where the basket scraped or comes closest to scraping the sweep sheet).
3. Mark this position and the nearest rib to this position.
4. Remove the basket (do not loosen the alignment bolts).
5. With the basket on the floor (spider up), place one or two shims between the spider leg and the back of the basket at the marked rib position. Refer to figure on this page.
6. Re-insert spider and basket assembly and re-check cylinder.
7. If the basket is still out of round, repeat procedure starting with Step 2.
8. Upon completion of shimming process, re-alignment of basket is necessary. Refer to Basket Alignment Section.

Air Switch Adjustment
AIR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Shut off current; disconnect leads and remove air switch.
2. Lay air switch assembly on flat surface. Adjust air blade at “A” (Figure 1) so that air blade lies flat and surface “B” is parallel to the flat surface.
3. Place 3/8” (10 mm) x 5/8” (16 mm) spacer bar or equivalent “C” (Figure 2) under air blade in position shown; hold switch mounting bracket firmly and adjust switch actuator “D” with needle-nose pliers at “E” by twisting actuator right or left whichever is needed so that switch closes when end of air blade engages bar “C”.
4. Maximum opening of air switch must be no greater than 3/4” (20 mm) (Figure 3). Bend tab “F” in or out to maintain this dimension.
5. Re-install air switch assembly on rear of dryer.
6. Re-check operation of air blade. Switch must close before air blade engages face of opening and re-open before stop “F” engages.
