64. MAIN GAS BURNER AIR INLET
SHUTTERS
(All Gas Models)
Refer to Figure 22.
CAUTION
The air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient primary air is
metered into the system for proper
combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutter be sure
that all lint is removed from lint
compartment and lint screen.
Air inlet shutter adjustments 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 air supply.
Adjust the air shutter as follows:
W281
a. Remove access panel.
b. Start tumbler and check the flame pattern.
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 smokey.
c. To adjust the air inlet shutter, loosen locking
screw.
d. Slide shutter in or out as necessary to obtain
desired flame intensity.
e. After shutter is adjusted, tighten locking screw
securely.
f. If the flame pattern is straight up, insufficient
air is flowing through the tumbler. A flame
pattern that flares to the right and left indicates
that no air is flowing through the tumbler.
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.

65. AIRFLOW SWITCH
The airflow switch is set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment necessary. Refer to
Figure 23.
IMPORTANT: Airflow switch vane must remain
closed during operation. If it opens and closes
during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient
airflow through the tumbler. If switch remains
open, or pops open and closed during the cycle, the
heating system will shut off. The cylinder and fan
will continue to operate even though the airflow
switch is indicating insufficient airflow.
