A.Receiving and Handling .................................................................................................. 3
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners as a means of preventing
damage in transit. Upon delivery, the dryer and/or packaging, and wooden skid should be visually inspected for
shipping damage. If any damage whatsoever is noticed, inspect further before delivering carrier leaves.
Dryers damaged in shipment:
1. ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.
2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker’s receipt should be so noted.
3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers, which were not damaged in a damaged
shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the number refused must be noted on the receipt.
4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call the delivering
carrier’s freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight company considers this concealed damage.
This type of freight claim is very difficult to get paid and becomes extremely difficult when more than a day or
two passes after the freight was delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight claims. Dryer/parts damaged in
transit cannot be claimed under warranty.
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must be filed at the receiving end. ADC
assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at +1 (508) 678-9000.

A. REASSEMBLY OF DRYER
IMPORTANT: Always keep the tumbler section of the dryer in an upright position when moving it.
The dryer may be shipped one of two ways; as a complete unit fully assembled and ready for hookup or with the
tumbler section separated from the base. If the dryer is shipped in two (2) pieces, the tumbler section will have to be
lifted onto the base. Use cables through the eyebolts on top of the tumbler section, or use a forklift for the lifting
process.
The tilting dryer is made in many loading and unloading options. Please refer to the reassembly instructions on the
following pages for your particular style of dryer.
If a steam dryer is shipped in two (2) pieces, the steam coil may have been removed from the top of the tumbler section
and shipped with the base. If this is the case, lift the steam coil onto the top of the tumbler section with the steam pipe
connections facing towards the right side of the dryer and bolt the coil to the top of the dryer with the 1/4” hardware
supplied. There are three (3) panels that cover the front, right side, and rear of the steam coil. Fasten these in position
also. Reconnect the steam and condensate pipe unions to the coil. These pipes run down to the flex hoses in the base.
