IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING and HANDLING
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners and top cover (or
optional box) 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 (508) 678-9000.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.

service panels removed. PERSONAL INJURY or FIRE COULD RESULT.
1. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
2. Purchaser/user should consult the local gas supplier for proper instructions to be followed in the event the
user smells gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent location.
3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS...
a. DO NOT try to light any appliance.

f. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
4. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
5. Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.
6. Although ADC produces a very versatile machine, there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or
cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
WARNING: Dry only water-washed fabrics. DO NOT dry articles spotted or washed in dry cleaning
solvents, a combustible detergent, or “ALL purpose” cleaner.
EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
WARNING: DO NOT dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint,
or wax.
EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
WARNING: DO NOT dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvent will create a fire
hazard.

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

7. A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the heating unit area, exhaust duct
work, 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 duct work can create a potential fire
hazard.
8. For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical
Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION.
NOTE: Failure to do so will VOID THE WARRANTY.
9. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the dryer door switch, lint door switch, or heat safety circuit
ever be disabled.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY or FIRE COULD RESULT.
10. This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning solvents or fumes.
11. Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle has been completed.
WARNING: Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling cycles have been completed can
create a fire hazard.
12. READ and FOLLOW ALL CAUTION and DIRECTION LABELS ATTACHED TO THE DRYER.
WARNING: YOU MUST DISCONNECT and LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY and
THE GAS SUPPLY BEFORE ANY COVERS or GUARDS ARE REMOVED
FROM THE MACHINE TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR CLEANING,
ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, or TESTING OF ANY EQUIPMENT per
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) STANDARDS.

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
or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural
Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (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
tumbler (basket). 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 12” (30.48 cm) exhaust adapter is shipped inside one of
the dryer’s tumblers (baskets). This exhaust adapter should either be left inside the
tumbler (basket) 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 it’s 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 it’s 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!
8
B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances.
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 non-combustible 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 m) away from the nearest obstruction, i.e., wall, for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service.
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 24inches (60.96 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
