ES/IT/GR/LU/CH. To install machines in any other
country, or on any other gas, requires some level of
modification.
Burner orifices, stickers, block-open kits, regulator
springs and other parts needed for conversions are to
be ordered separately.
Models are built in two different configurations:
•Regulated Natural Gas – Burner orifice is sized
for Natural Gas, second family, group H (E) at
20 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/governor is
operational. Gas valve CAN be field-converted to
a non-regulating type.
•Unregulated L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas –
Burner orifice is sized for L.P., third family,
group 3+ at 28.37 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/
governor is blocked open. Gas valve CANNOT
be field-converted to a regulating type.

W002
70304601
Serial plates supplied from the factory are configured
for the countries of GB/IE/PT/ES/IT/GR/LU/CH.
These instructions pertain to the situations when the
country of use or gas supply is different than that on
the serial plate.
Tab le 3 describes the different gases that are available
in different CE countries, and how the machines need
to be configured to operate with those gases. In the
CE, there are Natural Gas configurations that do not
allow for machine regulation, and L.P. Gas
configurations that must be regulated. For L.P. Gas,
third family B/P at 50 mbar, order regulated Natural
Gas machines and convert according to Tab le 3 .
Basic Configuration
1. Determine the necessary conversion operations to
convert from the factory-supplied configuration
to the desired configuration.
2. Perform the conversions required so the machine
is properly configured for the desired country and
gas (refer to Specific Conversion Procedures
section):
•How to Convert Gas Valve from Regulated to
Unregulated
NOTE: Conversion from regulated to unregulated
is only needed when regulated tumblers were
ordered, but unregulated tumblers were needed, or
if the gas supply type is changed at a later date.
•How to Change Burner Orifice Size
WARNING
When converting the tumbler to a
different gas or pressure, first verify that
the supply inlet pressure is equipped with
a pressure regulator (located ahead of the

A drying tumbler produces combustible
lint. To reduce the risk of fire, the tumbler
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
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 wall,
ceiling, crawl space under a building, or
concealed space of a building.
Layout
W057
W059
Venting
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumbler air 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 flexible ducts.
Use exhaust ducts made of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Use duct tape or pop-rivets on
all seams and joints.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumbler(s).
Whenever possible, install tumblers along an outside
wall where duct length can be kept to a minimum, and
make-up air can be easily accessed. Elbows and long
vents tend to increase drying time. Construction must
not block the airflow at the rear of the tumbler. Doing
so would prevent adequate air supply to the tumbler’s
combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A tumbler is forced air exhausted and requires provisions
for make-up air to replace air exhausted by the tumbler.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Make-up air openings should be as close to the
tumbler(s) as possible.
The required make-up air opening to the outside for
tumbler (includes both pockets) is:
each
220 square inches (1418 sq. cm) for T30 models
288 square inches (1856 sq. cm) for T45 models
Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
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
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. Local
codes may require additional thickness.
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
non-combustible material. Refer to Figure 9.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Make-up air openings for a room 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 in the same room as
tumblers. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the
tumbler(s), increase the area of the ductwork by 25%
to compensate for any restriction in air movement.
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 both pockets running.
The maximum allowable length venting of the same
diameter as the exhaust thimble is 14 feet (4.3 m) 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 m). Cross section area of a rectangular duct must
be increased by 20% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m).
Refer to Table 4 to determine equivalent venting.

Example: A 12 inch (305 mm) diameter duct’s
equivalent length of 14 feet (4.3 m) of duct and two
90° elbows is:
Equivalent Length = 14 feet + (2) 90° elbows
= 14 feet + 14 feet + 14 feet
= 42 feet (12.8 m)
With the tumbler in operation, and both pockets
running, airflow at any point in the duct should be at
least 1200 feet per minute (366 meters per meter) to
ensure that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet per
minute cannot be maintained, schedule monthly
inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.

NOTE: Do not install wire mesh or screen in
exhaust duct opening to avoid lint build-up or
impacting proper discharge of air from tumblers.
NOTE: Where exhaust duct pierces a combustible
wall or ceiling, the opening must be sized per local
codes.
NOTE: Inside of duct must be smooth. Do not use
sheet metal screws to join sections.
Consult your local building code for regulations which
may also apply.
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 11. This illustration
indicates minimum diameters, and should be increased
if the collector length exceeds 14 feet (4.3 m) and two
90° elbows. The diameter of a round duct must be
increased by 10% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m).
Cross sectional area of a rectangular or square duct must
be increased 20% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m).
Refer to Table 5 to determine equivalent ducting
sizing. The collector duct may be rectangular or square
in cross section, as long as the area is not reduced.
Provisions MUST be made for lint removal and
cleaning of the collector duct.
The vent collector system 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 tumbler. Static back pressure must be
measured with all tumblers vented into the collector
operating.
NOTE: Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle
to the collector duct. Refer to Figure 10. 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 the collector duct.
With the tumbler in operation, and both pockets
running, airflow at any point in the duct should be at
least 1200 feet per minute (366 meters per meter) to
ensure that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet per
minute cannot be maintained, schedule monthly
inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.
T o reduce the risk of fire or e xplosion, 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.
IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or conversions
must be made by the Manufacturer’s Authorized
Dealers, Distributors or local service personnel.
IMPORTANT: The tumbler must be isolated
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
(3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar).
IMPORTANT: The tumbler and its manually
operated appliance gas valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
of 0.5 psi (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar).

Grounding Instructions
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, or local codes.
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 tumbler ground screw.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
de-energize the electrical circuit being
connected to the tumbler before making
any electrical connections. All electrical
connections should be made by a
qualified electrician. Never attempt to
connect a live circuit.

with an emergency stop button on the front panel. If
the emergency stop function is desired on coinoperated models, an external emergency stop button
may be installed as specified on the machine wiring
diagram.
70304601
NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop button
stops all machine control circuit functions, but
DOES NOT remove all electrical power from
machine.
The following steps outline the procedure for
connecting electrical service to the tumbler.
•3 Phase models – Each tumbler must be
connected to its own individual branch circuit
breaker, not fuses, to avoid the possibility of
“single phasing” and causing premature
failure of the motor(s).
•Electrical service must be connected using the
appropriate permanent rigid metal conduit
system.
•Service conductors must be copper only.
For an existing service, determine your service voltage
and conductor amperage. Carefully review the tumbler
serial plate ratings and Electrical Requirements
section of this manual. If service is inadequate it must
be upgraded by a qualified electrical contractor. Never
connect an improper or inadequate service to any
machine.
Configuring Your Tumbler for Other
Service Voltages
Several gas and steam tumbler models have been
designed to be field convertible to other service
voltages. Refer to Tab le 8 for these models:
If tumbler requires conversion for use on another
service voltage, complete the steps detailed in the
Conversion Instructions section prior to connecting
service to machine.
If tumbler does not require conversion or has been
converted according to the Conversion Instructions
section of this manual, continue with step 1.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the upper
junction box or upper contactor box.
1. For new service, install a circuit breaker or fused
disconnect of proper voltage and current rating as
close to each tumbler as possible.
2. Route service conduit from circuit breaker panel
or disconnect panel to tumbler service connection
box. Conduit routing should not obstruct access
for maintenance or servicing. Refer to Service/Ground Location.
3. Pull conductors through conduit and attach to
circuit breaker and ground connection. Secure
service ground wire to the grounding screw or
lug. Attach service conductors to appropriately
labeled positions on the terminal block. Make
sure all connections are secure.
4. Check electrical service phase sequence (3 Phase

** Per heater on T30 electric models, each has two heaters.
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 the
steam system supplier or a qualified steam fitter.
•Refer to Figure 14 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 meters) 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 ups tream
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
optional vacuum breaker and check valve in
return line near tumbler. Gravity return requires
entire return plumbing be below steam coil
outlet.
•Install union and shut-off valve in return line and
Installing Steam Trap and Making
Condensate Return Connections
WARNING
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 14 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 at 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.
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
coil outlet connections and steam traps
must have a minimum of 125 psig
(pounds per square inch gauge) (8.79 kg/
sq. cm.) working pressure. A shut-off
valve must be installed downstream from
each steam trap so the condensate return
line can be isolated in event a steam trap
requires maintenance.
Each steam trap must be supported so
minimum load is exerted on the coil outlet
connection.
NOTE: Refer to Tabl e 12 for sizing of steam lines. Piping must also be sized accordingly for length of runs,
and number of elbows.

NOTE: The following information is for
models with an SD control suffix only.
Power-Up Mode
When power is applied to the tumbler, the IN USE
light flashes factory status information. Following this,
the control goes into READY Mode (light off) or RUN
Mode if power was interrupted during a cycle (light
on, time remaining unchanged).
Ready Mode
In READY Mode (light off), the control waits for the
vend to be satisfied. When vend is satisfied the control
goes into START Mode.
Start Mode
In START Mode (light on), the vend has been satisfied
but the start button has not been pressed. Time
remaining in the cycle will not change until the start
button is pressed. When the start button is pressed the
machine goes into RUN Mode.
Run Mode
In RUN Mode (light on), the machine is running a
cycle and the time remaining is counting down. When
time remaining counts down to zero, the control goes
into READY Mode.
Setting Dry Time Dipswitches
To change the dry time on the tumbler, combinations
of dipswitches can be set on the control.
There are eight dipswitches on the tumbler control.
The first six switches are used to program the amount
of additional heat time given for each coin pulse. The
additional drying time is added to the factory default
minimum heat time of one minute. A valve of 1 to 64
minutes of additional drying time is available for each
coin drop pulse.
The last two switches are used to program the amount
of additional cool down time. The additional cool
down time is added to the factory default minimum
cool down time of 1 minute. A value of 1 to 3
additional minutes is available. The control is shipped
from the factory programmed with 1 minute of
minimum heat time, preset with 7 additional minutes
of drying time (dipswitches 1, 2 and 3 in ON position)
and 1 minute of minimum cool down time for a total
time of 9 minutes for a coin pulse. For dipswitch
settings refer to Table 13.
The control reads the dipswitch settings at power-up.
The control must be powered down to change the
dipswitch settings.
To change the time for a coin pulse, the desired dry
time dipswitches must be set to ON position. All other
dipswitches must be in OFF position.
The door switch should be adjusted so the cylinder
stops when door is opened 2 inches (51 mm) plus or
minus 0.25 inch (6 mm). This switch is a normally
open switch and is closed by the hinge cam when the
door is closed. If adjustment is required, refer to
Figure 15 and proceed as follows:
1. Close door and start tumbler, slowly open loading
door. Cylinder and heat system should shut off
when door is open 2 inches (51 mm) plus or
minus 0.25 inch (6 mm).
2. Slowly close the loading door. When door is
2 inches (51 mm) from being fully closed, the
door switch actuating bracket (located on the
door) should depress the button and the switch
arm with an audible “click.”
3. If the actuating bracket does not operate the
switch at the appropriate door closure, bend the
actuating switch bracket in or out to achieve
proper actuation.
Airflow Switch
The airflow switch is set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment necessary.
The airflow switch operation may be affected by
shipping tape still in place, lack of make-up air, or an
obstruction in the exhaust duct. These should be
checked and the required corrective action taken.
WARNING
The tumbler must not be operated if the
airflow switch does not operate properly.
Faulty airflow switch operation may cause
an explosive gas mixture to collect in the
tumbler.

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.

NOTE: To properly mount the airflow switch
bracket, or in case of a load not drying, the airflow
switch bracket may need to be checked for proper
alignment. Be sure the locator pins are securely in
their respective holes before tightening the bracket
mounting screws. This will assure proper
alignment of the airflow switch arm in the channel
of the airflow switch bracket and prevent binding
of the arm.
The door strike must be adjusted to have sufficient
tension to hold loading door closed against force of the
load tumbling against it. There is proper adjustment of
pull force when 8 to 15 pounds (35.6 N – 66.7 N) is
required to open door.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 16 and
proceed as follows:
To adjust, open door, loosen acorn nut, and turn door
strike screw in or out as required. Retighten acorn nut.
