similarly textured rubber materials. Drying in a heated basket (tumbler) may damage
plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard.

7. A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the heating unit area, exhaust

ductwork, and inside the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location.

WARNING: The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire

hazard.

8. For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the

SECTION III

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI
Z223.1-LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National
Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA­B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION
(for General Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION (for Electrical Connections).

A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP

Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.

NOTE: The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in the

basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place, yet made
accessible because some will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the
dryer.

Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and
must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the ADC factory.

IMPORTANT: For shipping purposes, the 10-inch (25.40 cm) exhaust adapter is shipped inside one

(1) of the dryer’s baskets (tumblers). This exhaust adapter should either be left
inside the basket (tumbler) or removed and put in a safe place, and must be installed
once the dryer is in place prior to making any exhaust duct connections.

The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. With the
skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4) leveling legs,
so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs,
one (1) at each corner of the dryer base. The legs can be adjusted by either tilting and properly supporting the
dryer, and adjusting from underneath with an open end wrench (or adjustable wrench). Or, by removing the rear
lower back panel and/or front lower service panel and adjusting the leveling leg with a 1/4” socket.

IMPORTANT: When tilting the dryer to adjust the leveling legs, be sure to properly support the

bottom of the dryer with a block of wood or similar object. Failure to do so can
cause personal injury.

B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER

Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such
codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1­M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General
Installation and Gas Plumbing).

1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be

removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.

IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only.”

2. Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be
positioned approximately 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction, i.e., wall, for ease of
installation, maintenance, and service.

3. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

4. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.

CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every

6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.

IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient

temperature remains between 40º F (4.44º C) and 130º F (54.44º C).

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
24-inches (60.96 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if
desired.
