POSITIONING THE DRYING
LEVELING THE DRYING
TUMBLER
The tumbler may be removed from the skid before
moving it to the installation location or it may be moved
while still attached to the skid. To remove tumbler from
the skid, unscrew the four shipping capscrews (one at
each corner) and remove the tumbler from the skid. The
lint panel door will have to be removed in order to remove
the two front capscrews.
NOTE: Do not throw these four capscrews away —
they are the leveling legs.
Screw the four lev eling le gs back into the le v el adjusting
fittings from the top.
To fit a 170 pound tumbler (with shipping skid) through
an 8-foot high door, you must remove the front access
panel. The upper 3 inches 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, and the 170 pound tumbler to 75 inches.
To remove tumbler from the skid, unscrew the four
shipping capscrews (one at each corner) and remove the
tumbler from the skid.
Slide the tumbler to its permanent location and level.
Keep the tumbler as close to the floor as possible. The
tumbler must rest firmly on the floor so weight of tumbler
is evenly distrib uted. T umbler must not rock. Shim under
the corners to level and stabilize the unit.
TUMBLER
Each tumbler should be leveled within 1/8 inch (3.2 cm)
from front to rear, and 1/8 inch (3.2 cm) from side to side.
Check front to rear level by rotating the clothes cylinder
until one rib is at the bottom, then place a level on the rib .
Side to side level should be checked by placing a le vel on
the front and rear of the top panel.

DRYING TUMBLER ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the air flow 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 2. Note
that the enclosure touches the tumbler top and side
T o reduce the risk of serious injury, install
lockable door(s) to prevent public access
to rear of tumblers.
panels. Also, note the minimum and maximum
dimensions. Be aware that there may be local codes and
ordinances which must be complied with.
IMPORTANT: Install tumblers with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation, see Figure 2.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury, clearance of tumbler cabinet from combustible
construction must conform to the minimum clearances.
To assure compliance, consult local building code
requirements.
WARNING
A drying tumbler produces combustible
lint. To reduce the risk of fire, the tumbler
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
W057
FLOOR
The drying tumbler must be installed on a level floor
capable of supporting 100 pounds per square fo ot (488.3
kg/sq. m) for 30, 50 and 75 pound tumblers. The floor
must be capable of supporting 120 pound s per square foot
(585.8 kg/sq. m) for 120 and 1 70 poun d tumblers. Floor
covering materials such as carpeting or tile should be
removed.
• Individual Venting
For maximum efficiency and performance, it is
preferred to exhaust tumbler(s) individually to the
outdoors. At no point may the cross area of installed
venting be less than the cross area of the exhaust
thimble of the tumbler.
The maximum allowable length venting is 14 feet (4.3
m) and two 90° elbo ws o r equivalent. If the equivalent
length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the
maximum allowable equiv alent 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
addtional 20 feet (6.1 m). Table below shows how to
determine equiv a lent venting:
DUCT
DIAMETER
EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF
STRAIGHT DUCT
LAYOUT
Whenever possible, tumblers should be installed 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 top rear of the tumbler.
Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the
tumbler’s combustion chamber.
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 sheet metal screws to join vent sections.
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.
Exhaust ducts shall 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
Equivalent Length (feet) = 1.7 x Duct Diameter
(inches)
Example: A 12" diameter duct’s equivalent
length of 14 feet of duct and two 90° elbows is:
Equivalent Length = 14 feet + (2) 90° elbows
With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point in
the duct must be at least 1200 feet per minute (366 m./
min.) to insure that the lint remains airborne.
One 90° elbow = 7 feet (2.1 m)
One 90° elbow = 9.3 feet (2.83 m)
One 90° elbow = 11.6 feet (3.5 m)
One 90° elbow = 14 feet (4.3 m)
One 90° elbow = 16 feet (4.9 m)
One 90° elbow = 18.7 feet (5.7 m)
One 90° elbow = 21 feet (6.4 m)
Table 1
= 14 feet + 14 feet + 14 feet
= 42 feet (12.8 m)
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, an opening having a diameter of 4 inches (10.2
cm) larger than the diameter of the exhaust duct shall be
provided, with the duct centered in the opening. When
ducts pass through walls, ceilings, floors or partitions, the
space around the duct shall be sealed with noncombustible material. See Figures 3, 4 and 5.
26
M413620
Page 29
• Collector 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 5. This illustration
indicates minimum diameters, and should be increased
if the collector length exceeds 20 feet (6.1 m). The
collector duct may be rectangular in cross section, as
long as the area is not reduced. Provisions should be
made for lint removal and cleaning of the collector
duct.
The collector duct must be tapered, as shown in Figur e
5. The individual tumbler ducts must enter the
collector duct at a 45° angle in the direction of air flow .
Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle to the
collector duct. Doing so will cause excessive back
pressure, resulting in poor perf ormance. Never
connect two tumbler exhaust ducts directly across
from each other at the point of entry to the collector
duct.
The collector system must be designed so the static
back pressure measured 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the
exhaust thimble does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker
on the rear of the tumbler. This must be measured with
all tumblers running that are vented into the collector.
At a minimum, the National Fuel Gas Code requires
tumblers to have at least one square inch (6.5 sq. cm)
of opening for every 1000 BTU/hr. of input rating for
proper combustion.
Example: A tumbler with a rated input of 120,000
BTU/hr. requires 120 square inches of free
opening.
The additional opening recomended by the
manufacturer is required for optimum drying and
reliability.
Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors can
reduce air movement by approximately 40 percent. The
opening must compensate for the area taken up by the
louvers.
The 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 between tumbler(s) and make-up air
openings. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the
tumbler(s), increase the area of the duct work by 25
percent to compensate for any restriction in air
movement.
MAKE-UP AIR
A tumbler is forced air exhausted and requires provisions
for make-up air to replace the air exhausted by the
tumbler.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING
WARNING
Solvent gases and vapors from dry
cleaning machines create acids when
drawn through the heater of a drying
tumbler. These acids are corrosive to the
drying tumbler as well as to the laundry
load being dried. Be sure make-up air is
free of solvent gases and vapors.
If the dry cleaning machines are in the
same area as the tumbler, then the
tumbler make-up air must come from a
source free of solvent gases and vapors.
W058
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
provide an individual exhaust
duct for each drying tumbler.
Do not install a hot water heater
in room containing drying
tumblers. It is better to have
the water heater in a separate
room with a separate air inlet.
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.
W059
NOTE: Do not install wire
mesh or screen in this
opening as lint will build up
and prevent proper discharge
of air from drying tumblers.

W060
IMPORTANT: Any product re visions 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 an y pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The size of gas service pipe is dependent upon many
variables (lengths, tees, etc.). Specific pipe size
information should be obtained from the ga s supplier.
Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for general pipe size.
A dirt and water vapor pipe trap must be furnished and
installed by customer, see Figure 6.
It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all
tumbler gas connections. This can best be done by
installing a one inch (2.54 cm) pipe gas loop as shown in
Figures 7, 9 and 11.
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
The tumbler must be isolat ed fr om 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 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
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 in the U.S.A.
•with CAN1-B149.1 or CAN1-B149.2 in

STEAM REQUIREMENTS (Steam Drying Tumblers)
The size of the steam service pipe is dependent upon
many variables (length, tees, high pressure system, low
pressure system, etc.). Specific pipe size information
should be obtained from the steam system supplier or a
qualified steam fitter.
1. Refer to F igur es 13, 14, and 15 for proper steam pipe
configurations.
2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to
tumbler, piping should ha v e a minimum 12 inch rise
(30.5 cm) above respective header. Do not make
steam connection to header with a horizontal or
downward facing tee or elbow.
3. 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 by-pass trap to drain
condensate from the low point in the steam header to
the return.
4. In both steam supply and steam return line, it is
recommended that each have a pipe union and globe
valve. This will enable you to disconnect the steam
connections and service the tumbler while your plant
is in operation.
5. Before connecting trap and check valve to tumbler,
open shutoff valve in steam supply line and allow
steam to flow through tumbler to flush out any dirt
and scale from tumbler. This will assure proper
operation of trap when connected.
6. After flushing system, install vacuum breaker , bucket
trap (with built-in strainer) and check valve. For
successful operation of tumbler, install trap 18 inches
(45.7 cm) 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 v alve
in return line near tumbler.
PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep the
trap clean and in good working condition.
2. When tumbler is on the end of a line of equipment,
extend header at least 4 feet (1.2 m) beyond tumbler.
Install shutoff v alve, union, check valve and by -pass
trap at end of line. If gravity return to boiler, omit
trap.
3. Insulate steam supply and return line for safety of
operator and safety while servicing tumbler.
4. Keep tumbler in good working condition. Repair or
replace any worn or defective parts.
NOTE: Steam heated tumbler models are not
certified by the American Gas Association or the
Canadian Gas Association.
WARNING
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
coil outlet connections and steam traps
must have a minimum of 172 psig (12.04
kg/cm2) (pounds per square inch gauge)
working pressure. A shutoff v alve m ust be
installed downstream from each steam
trap so the condensate return line can be
isolated in event a steam trap requires
maintenance.
W064
STEAM VALVE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Refer to wiring diagram for steam valve electrical
connections in J-Box.

MAKING CONDENSATE RETURN
CONNECTIONS
High pressure machines require a (constant) 80 to 100
psig (pounds per square inch gauge) (5.62 to 7.03 kg/s q.
cm) steam service for optimum operation. Low pressure
machines require a (constant) 10 to 15 psig (pounds per
square inch gauge) (.70 to 1.05 kg/sq. cm) steam service
for optimum operation. The following steps outline the
procedure for installing the steam solenoid valve and
connecting the steam service.
a. Install a manual shut-of f gate v alv e in the condensate
return line after the steam trap for each coil.
b. Connect the steam solenoid valve to the related steam
coil inlet connection with nipples, flex hoses, unions,
and tee. See Figures 13, 14, and 15 for typical
installations.
c. Install a gate shut-off valve in the steam supply line.
Connect the shut-off gate valve outlet to th e solenoid
steam valve inlet connection. See F igures 13, 14, and 15 for typical installations.
WARNING
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
solenoid steam valve to the coil inlets
must have a 125 psig (pounds per square
inch gauge) (8.79 kg/sq. cm) working
pressure. A shut-off gate valve must be
installed upstream from the solenoid
steam valve. This way, steam can be shut
off for maintenance purposes, or in the
event the hose ruptures.
The steam solenoid valve must be
supported so minimum load is exerted on
the steam coil inlet connections.
W065
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. See Figures 13, 14, and 15 for typical
installations.
a. Connect a flexible hose to each steam coil outlet.
b. Install a strainer to the ends of each flexible hose.
c. Install a steam trap to each strainer.
IMPORTANT: Steam trap must be installed a
minimum of 10 inches (25.4 cm) below the steam coil
outlet connections.
d. Install a gate shut-off valve to each steam trap.
e. Connect to the condensate return lines.
WARNING
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
coil outlet connections and steam traps
must have a minim um of 125 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge) (8.79 kg/sq. cm.)
working pressure. A shutoff gate 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.

Adjustments
MAIN GAS BURNER AIR SHUTTER
All Gas Models
NOTICE: 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 compartment and lint screen.
Air shutter adjustments will vary from lo cation to
location and will depend on the vent system, number of
units installed, make-up air and line gas pre ss ure.
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:
1. Open the access panel.
2. Start the 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 right of the heater section. (See Figures 22 and
23.) Too little air is indicated if the flame is yellow,
lazy and smokey.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter
adjusting screw, see Figures 22 and 23.
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain
proper flame intensity .
5. After air shutter is adjusted for pr oper flame, tighten
air shutter adjusting screw securely. Control panel
may have to be removed temporarily to loosen air
shutter screws to adjust shutter.
6. If the shutter is correctly adjusted, but the flame
pattern is straight up, (see Figures 22 and 23),
insufficient primary air is flowing through the
tumbler and airflow switch is improperly set. A flame
pattern that flares to the right and left (see Figur es 22 and 23) indicates no air is flowing through the
tumbler.

AIR FLOW SWITCH
For 30, 50, and 75 Pound Gas and Electric Tumblers
The air flow switch (located on the rear of tumbler Figure
24) is set at the factory for proper operation. Steam models
do not have an airflo w switch. However, if there is a
problem with the switch, it should be adjusted as follows:
NOTICE: Control panel must be in place and access
door closed before attempting to adjust air flow
switch.
IMPORTANT: Air flow switch disc must remain
closed during operation. If it opens and closes during
the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient air flow
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 air flow switch is
malfunctioning.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, air flow switch
operation may be affected by a clogged
lint screen, lack of make-up air,
obstructions in the vertical recirculation
stack or in the customer installed main or
collector ducts. These conditions must
be checked and necessary corrections
made before adjusting air flow switch.
Always adjust air flow at installation.
W073
The air flow switch operation is controlled by the
counterweight position in the shaft. Moving the
counterweight either increases or decreases air flow
switch sensitivity. The counterweight should be adjusted
so the air flow will force the disc away from the cabinet
when the lint panel is opened 6 inches (15.24 cm) with a
full load. Adjust the air flow switch as follows:
1. Load the tumbler. This adjustment is much faster to
make with one person opening lint panel in front and
another adjusting the counterweight in the rear of
tumbler.
2. Start the tumbler. Open the lint panel 6 inches
(15.24 cm). The airflow disc sh ould move away
from the cabinet, opening the switch contacts and
shutting off the heat system. This indicates proper
operation and proper adjustment.
3. If switch is not opening as described in step “2”, it
should be adjusted so it is MORE sensitive. Depress
the spring clip and move counterweight to w ard disc.
Retest by opening lint panel and continue moving
counterweight toward disc until switch operates as
described in step “2”.
4. If switch opens BEFORE lint panel is opened the
proper distance, step “2”, it should be adjusted so it
is LESS sensitive. Depress the spring clip and move
counterweight away from the disc. Retest by opening
lint panel and continue moving counterweight away
from disc until switch operates as described in step
“2”.

AIR FLOW SWITCH
For 120 and 170 Pound Tumblers
The air flow switch is located on the back of the tumbler,
see Figure 25 or 26. It consists of a small limit switch
wired in series with the gas control transformer. A vane,
which is pulled against the tumbler back by normal air
circulation, actuates the switch. When air circulation is
interrupted, (lint door open, clogged lint screen,
inadequate vent, etc.), the vane will not pull in and
energize the gas valve circuits.
IMPORTANT: The tumbler should not be operated if
the air flow switch flutters, turning the gas on and off
rapidly. This can be caused by improper vent, clogged
lint screen, fan motor turning in the wrong direction,
etc.
NOTICE: The access door must be closed before
attempting to adjust air flow switch.
IMPORTANT: Air flow switch vane must remain
closed drying operation. If it opens and closes during
the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient air flow
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 air flow switch is
malfunctioning.
NOTICE: Air flow switch operation may be affected
by a clogged lint screen, lack of make-up air, or
obstructions in the vertical recirculation stack or in
the customer installed main or collector ducts. These
conditions 2ust be checked and necessary corrections
made.

AIR FLOW LIGHT
Only on 120 and 170 Pound Manual Timer Models
The light on the front control panel indicates when the air
flow through the tumbler is less th an normal. When this
light flickers on and off or stays on all the time, the
tumbler cannot operate properly. If cleaning the lint
screen does not correct the problem, other possibilities
include: Lint build-up in the exhaust line or discharge
vent, incorrect rotation of blower, lack of make-up air,
jammed back-draft damper, overloaded tumbler or
anything else that will reduce the air flow.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire:
• DO NOT DRY articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubberlike
materials.
• DO NOT DRY plastics, anything containing
wax or chemicals such as mops and
cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at
home with a dry-cleaning solvent.
• DO NOT TUMBLE fiberglass curtains and
draperies unless the label says it can be
done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder
with a damp cloth to remove particles of
fiberglass.

disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Open the lint panel and check for any accumulated
lint on lint screen. Close panel tightly against tumbler
frame and lock panel securely.
3. Open the cylinder door and load the cylinder with
laundry. Overloading will result in excessive drying
time, wrinkled laundry, and wear to cylinder
bearings.
4. Set the TEMPERATURE selector at HIGH (cotton
load) (190°F , 88°C) , MEDIUM (mixed load) (162°F ,
72°C), LOW (Permanent Press) (140°F, 60°C), or
anywhere between these settings. The type of fabric
being dried will determine the setting.
5. Set the DRYING selector for the number of minutes
desired.
6. Set the COOLING selector for the number of
minutes desired.
7. Press the PUSH-TO-START button in and hold it in
for approximately three seconds. This starts the
tumbler cycle.
IMPORTANT: If the cylinder is opened during the
cycle, the heating system will shut off and the motor
will stop. To restart the cycle, door must be closed and
the PUSH-TO-START button must be pressed in a nd
held for approximately three seconds.

disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Open the lint screen panel and check for any
accumulated lint on lint screen. Close panel tightly
against tumbler frame and lock panel securely.
3. Open the cylinder door and load the cylinder with
laundry. Overloading will result in excessiv e drying
time, wrinkled laundry, and wear to cylinder
bearings.
4. Set the TEMPERATURE selector at HIGH (190ºF /
87.5ºC), MEDIUM (162ºF / 72ºC), LOW (140ºF /
60ºC), or anywhere between these settings. The typ e
of fabric being dried will determine the setting.

REVERSING OPERATION
This tumbler is equipped with a second motor and
additional controls to reverse the direction of the cylinder
rotation. The main reason for this option is to prevent
tangling of large pieces and minimize wrinkling.
REVERSE CONTROL SWITCH
A simple “on-off” switch is placed in the control panel
area so the operator can choose reversing or nonreversing operation. The switch is wired into the reverse
control time circuit in such a way that the cylinder will
always turn clockwise (as viewed from the front of the
dryer) when the reverse control switch is actuated for
“non-reversing” operation. If the cylinder is turning in
the wrong direction when the switch is actuated, it will
continue for a few seconds and then start up in the proper
direction.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED OPL TUMBLER
INTRODUCTION
Drying can be done automatically or by time dry. When
drying automatically, the tumbler stops drying when
laundry reaches the factory set or programmed dryness
level and starts cool down. When time drying, the
tumbler stops drying when programmed time ends and
starts cool-down.
Special Cycle allows user to specify the number of
heating cycles and specify temperature from 80°F (27°C)
to 180°F (82°C) for all heat cycles.
Special Time allows user to specify temperature from
80°F (27°C) to 180°F (82°C) for all heat cycles.
Both automatic and time dry have factory-set cycles, but
other cycles can also be created. Frequently used cycles
can be saved in the control's memory as Custom cycles,
see Figure 35.
A drying instructions chart is included for recording
selections and settings for various load types, Figure 41.
In all cycles, except No Heat, Wrinkle-Free begins when
Cool Down ends. During Wrinkle-Free, the tumbler
alternately stops for 2-1/2 minutes and then runs without
heat for 2-1/2 minutes until door is opened or 60 minutes
has elapsed.
All pads can be pressed in any sequence without
damaging control or tumbler. To stop the tumbler at any
time, open the door or press STOP/RESET . The windo w
display will flash. Press STOP/RESET twice (within 3
seconds) to end the cycle and reset the control to idle
status, see Figure 34.

LINT REMOVAL (SEE
FIGURE 42
)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury , do not
open the lint panel while the tumbler is in
operation. Open tumbler door and allow
cylinder to completely st op before
cleaning lint screen.
1. Open the lint panel.
2. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment
area. Lightly brush any lint that may be left on the lint
screen. Lint left in the lint compartment is drawn
back onto the lint screen and will restrict proper air
circulation.
3. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is, replace
immediately. A torn lint screen allows lint to pass
from the tumbler to the ductwork system, thus
creating a restriction to air circulation.
W079
4. The lint screen is designed to completely cover the
entire opening in the lint screen hood. Be sure that it
does so. Excessive gaps between the lint screen and
the lint screen hood allows lint to pass into the
ductwork system.
5. Wipe any accumulated lint off of the thermostat
sensing probe, cabinet hi-limit thermostat (if
applicable) or thermistor (micro models). Failure to
do so will allow a buildup of lint in this area to act as
an insulator and cause overheating in the tumbler.
6. Replace the lint panel on the tumbler, ensuring a tight
fit and lock.
7. Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.

Check the tumbler over thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts
and screws, and for loose gas, steam and/or electrical
connections.
GAS CONNECTIONS: (Unions, flared tube fittings)
Check for leakage that might be caused by vibration. Use
a mild soap solution. DO NOT USE A FLAME AT
ANY TIME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Electrical service and
grounding connections should be examined for proper
tightness.
LINT REMOVAL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, disconnect power to the tumbler
before performing these operations.
1. Clean the lint and any other foreign materials from
the air vents located on the front and back of the drive
motor. The drive motor is air cooled and if the air
vents become clogged, the motor will overheat and
the internal thermal overload protector will cycle of f.
2. Steam Models: Check the steam coils and remove
any lint buildup and/or replace air f ilter in the coil fin
area. This can be accomplished by using compressed
air or by fabricating a comb that can be pulled across
the fin area of the coil.
3. Exhaust ducts should be periodically inspected to
ensure there has been no b uild-up of lint which could
obstruct the air flow.
W081
4. Inspect the dryer area to make sure nothing is
obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
5. Remove front panel and clean any lint buildup.

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 gate valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are remo ved during servicing, t hese ground wires m ust be reconnected
to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.
W002
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the tumbler so that short, straight venting can
be used. Turns, elbows and long vents tend to
increase drying time. Longer dry time means the use
of more energy and higher operating costs
2. Operate tumbler using full-size loads. Overloading
uses extra energy. Very small loads waste energy.
3. Dry lightweight fabrics separately from heavy
fabrics. Less energy will be used and drying res ults
will be more even if the fabrics being dried are of
similar weight.
4. Clean the lint screen after each eight hour shift. A
clean lint screen helps give faster, more economical
drying.
5. Do not open the loading door while drying. W arm air
will escape into the room.
6. Unload the tumbler as soon as the tumbler stops or
when LOAD READY light illuminates.
IMPORTANT: The input ratings shown on the serial
plate are for units that are being operated at
elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). If the tumbler is to
be operated above 2,000 feet (610 m), contact
distributor for proper gas orif ices for your altitude.
.
SERVICE SAVERS
The following are some of the most common problems,
along with the solutions, that occur with a tumbler.
Before contacting the Service Department, perform these
procedures:
TUMBLER WON’T START
1. Is the cylinder door completely closed?
2. Is the drying timer in an OFF position?
3. Has the PUSH TO START knob been depressed for
three seconds?
4. Has a main fuse opened or is a main circuit breaker
tripped?
TUMBLER WON’T HEAT
1. Is the Gas Shut-off Valve on the tumbler in the OFF
position?
2. Is the tumbler in the cool down mode?
3. Is the lint screen clogged?
4. Is the air flow sufficient?
CLOT HES ARE NOT SATISFACTORILY DRY
1. Was enough heating time allocated for the load?
2. Is the lint screen clogged.
82
3. Is the exhaust duct to the outside clean and not
blocked?
M413620
Page 85
TROUBLESHOOTING THE
TUMBLER
1. Exhaust air flow restriction. Exhaust Duct size is
recommended to be larger than the exhaust opening.
2. Tumbler inlet air is essential for each unit. Inlet air
must be five to se ven times the combined areas of the
tumbler exhaust outlet.
3. All tumbler panels must be in place and on the
machine for proper operation.
4. Gas Models Only: Burner flame improperly
adjusted. Adjust the burner air sleeve.
5. Gas Models Only: Gas pressure must be 6 to 8 inches
water column (1.49 to 1.74 kPa) for natural gas and
11 inches water column (2.74 kPa) for propane
(bottled gas).
6. Gas Models Only: Make sure that the correct size of
gas pipe is being used for the length of the gas circuit.
7. Gas Models Only: Burner orifices must be the
correct size. Natural and L.P. gas do not use the same
orifices.
8. The input voltage must be the same as that indicated
on the serial plate.
9. The back draft damper must swing full open to
prevent air flow restrictions. (Less than full swing
operation of the exhaust damper can cause the air
flow switches to shut of f gas, creating a longer drying
time.)
