SECTION II

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

A. CLEANING

A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly safe operation.

WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.

SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE

DAILY

Clean lint from the lint screen. Inspect and replace if torn.

90 DAYS

Remove lint accumulation from lint chamber thermostats and sensors. Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.

WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict internal motor airflow, causing overheating and irreparable motor damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation will VOID

THE WARRANTY.

120 DAYS

On gas and electric models, remove lint from gas burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. On steam dryers, clean coil. Proper cleaning of the steam coil is necessary to prevent lint build up between the fins. When cleaning the coil, be extremely careful not to bend the aluminum fins, which will also reduce airflow. If the fins are bent, straighten them by using a comb. Fin combs are available from local air conditioning supply houses. Regular cleaning will prevent lint build up and blockage of the coil.

450268-1

www.amdry.com

5

6 MONTHS

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in the customer furnished exhaust ductwork system. Inspect exhaust draft dampers to ensure they are not binding. Inspect and remove ALL lint accumulation from in and around control box area including coin acceptors. Clean lint accumulation from around tumbler wrapper area.

IMPORTANT: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

AS REQUIRED

In the cleaning and care of the cabinet, avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.

B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws (bearing setscrews), nonpermanent gas connections, and grounding connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary, and check belt alignment. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, sail switch, burner and lint chamber thermostats).

NOTE: V-belts should be replaced in matched pairs.

C. LUBRICATION

The motor bearings, idler bearings and tumbler bearings are permanently lubricated, and no lubrication is necessary.

SECTION III

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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/CGA-B149.1-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. ENCLOSURE, AIR SUPPLY, AND EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For a detailed description refer to the installation booklet for non-coin dryers.

Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be made in the rear for ease of maintenance. (Refer to installation manual for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes the air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from overheating. On electric dryers, premature electric element failure may result. Air supply must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.

Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure, which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switch.

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED OR MAINTAINED (CLEANED) EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

After performing any service or maintenance function, an operational check should be performed to ensure that ALL components are performing properly.

1.Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to assure that the timing is correct, temperature selection switches are functioning, etc.

2.Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits, door switch(es), hi-limit thermostat, sail switch, cycling thermostats, etc.

3.On gas models, gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.

NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap):

Natural Gas _________________ 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.

Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ______ 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.

4.The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no future adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.

5.For 3-phase (3ø) motor models, check the electric service phase sequence while the dryer is operating. Check to see if the blower wheel is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the blower wheel should spin in the clockwise direction. If so, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, L3 of power supply to the dryer.

Lifting the control door will reveal the control panel assembly. Opening the control panel will allow access to the major components, which include the computer board, and keypad. The keypad inputs to the computer what temperature and program has been selected. The computer controls the entire operation of the dryer. It accepts inputs and gives outputs to various parts throughout the dryer.

B. CONTROL BOX (COMPUTER CONTROLS)

The computer control box is made up of several computer harnesses. These harnesses provide input and output voltages to various devices throughout the dryer.

C. MAIN DOOR SWITCH

The main door switch is located behind the main door on the right hand side. When the main door is opened, the switch will also open, preventing the dryer from operating. The main door switch is a safety device and should never be disabled.

10

American Dryer Corp.

450268-1

D. LINT DRAWER SWITCH

The lint drawer switch is located in the lint compartment and attached to the side of the lint drawer track. The lint drawer switch ensures that the dryer will operate only when the lint drawer is completely close. This is a safety device and should never be disabled.

E. LINT DRAWER

The lint drawer is a pullout type and is located at the bottom of the dryer in the lint compartment. Simply grab the lint drawer handle, slide out the drawer, brush off the lint, and slide the drawer back in. The lint screen must be kept clean in order for the dryer to operate properly and efficiently.

F. TUMBLER

The tumbler consists of three (3) or four (4) ribs and a perforated tumbler along with a front and back, which are riveted or screwed together as an assembly. The tumbler also consists of tie rods, which support the tumbler from front to back. The tumbler support is used to mate the tumbler to the drive system in the rear. Some models also have a felt band, which helps to keep lint from accumulating behind the tumbler.

11

G. TUMBLER BEARING AND PULLEY ARRANGEMENT

The tumbler bearing and the pulley arrangement is located (viewing from the rear of the dryer) approximately at the upper center of the dryer. The arrangement consists of a pulley, bearing platform, and bearing, which serve to adjust, drive, and support the tumbler.

H. IDLER BEARING

Viewing from the rear of the dryer, the idler assembly is located approximately on the lower left hand side of the dryer. The idler assembly consists of one (1) compound pulley. The idlers main purpose is to reduce the speed and increase the torque, provided to the tumbler bearing. Also, the idler assembly belt tension can be adjusted. AD-15 thru AD-30 requires a 9” x 2-1/2” pulley. AD-50 thru AD-75 requires a 14” x 3” pulley.

I. DRIVE MOTOR AND BLOWER MOTOR

The drive motor is located on the back, approximately lower center of the dryer. It sits on an adjustable base, so that the motor can be easily adjusted to the left or right, up or down. On non-reversing dryers, the blower end of the motor is connected to the impellor, a backward curved paddlewheel. The impellor provides airflow in the dryer. It creates a vacuum, which pulls the hot air from the burner into the tumbler through the lint screen and out the exhaust. On reversing dryers, there are two (2) motors, one (1) for the drive and one (1) for the blower.

REVERSING MODELS

NON-REVERSING MODELS

12

American Dryer Corp.

450268-1

J. TEMPERATURE SENSOR (COMPUTER CONTROLS)

The temperature sensor used, is a transducer that converts heat into microamps that the computer board then uses to calculate the temperature.

K. GAS BURNER

Gas dryers are equipped with a gas burner located behind the control door. The gas burner assembly consists of the burner tubes, orifices (the orifices have a hole in them to allow gas to flow through. The hole size varies with different elevations, and different Btu), gas valve (which can be set up for natural gas or liquid propane [L.P.] gas), spark ignitor/flame-probe assembly, sail switch, and hi-limit thermostat. Gas burners will vary from model to model in size, shape, and relative location. Some models are equipped with heat reclaimer systems in which, some of the exhaust air is recovered and introduced back into the drying process.

L. STEAM DAMPER SYSTEM

The newest type system is called the steam damper. It is shown to the right and it uses a piston with compressed air to open and close the steam damper, which in turn allows the air to flow either through the coil for heat, or under the coil for cool down. Air supply is 80 psi +/- 10 psi (5.51 bar +/- 0.69 bar).

450268-1

www.amdry.com

13

M. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

This dryer requires an external supply of air (2.5 cfm @ 80 psi [0.07 cmm @ 5.51 bar]) on the steam models, the air is necessary to operate the steam damper system. On both steam, as well as the gas model, the air is necessary for the blower air jet operation to clean lint from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage type).

N. ELECTRIC OVEN

Electric dryers are equipped with an electric oven located behind the control door. The electric oven assembly consists of the electric oven box, contactor, and heating elements. In an electric oven, the elements heat the passing airflow entering the tumbler. ALL ovens have kW ratings. This is the rating of how much heat the oven can produce. The higher the rating, the more heat.

O. SAIL SWITCH (ELECTRIC AND GAS MODELS)

The sail switch consists of a round damper plate on a lever arm, which acts like an actuator for a microswitch. When the air blower comes on, it draws air through the burner. This creates a negative pressure inside the burner box, and this negative pressure pulls in the round damper, which activates the sail switch. If there is improper airflow, the damper will not pull in, preventing the burner from coming on. Improper airflow can be caused by improperly designed exhaust ducting, where the duct run is too long or has too many sharp bends on it. It can also be caused by a lack of make-up air. Sail switch is located in front of the oven on electric dryers and in the back of the burner on gas models.

P. MOTOR CONTACTOR (1Ø MOT OR)

This motor contactor used on a single-phase (1ø) dryer, is located in the rear of the dryer, in the electrical panel box. Its purpose is to transfer the higher voltage to the motor, when the contactor coil voltage has been achieved.

Q. NON-REVERSING CONTACTOR (3Ø MOT OR)

The non-reversing contactor is used on 3-phase (3ø) non-reversing dryers and is located on the upper left hand side of the dryer (view from the rear). Its purpose is to transfer the higher voltage to the motor, when the contactor coil voltage has been achieved.

R. REVERSING RELAY PANEL

This panel is located in the back of the dryer at the upper left hand corner. On this panel is an arc suppressor board, which filters out “noise” that might go to the coils of the contactors. Also, mounted on this panel are the drive and blower/fan contactors. The 2-pole circuit breaker is used to protect L1 and L3 on 460-480 VAC models only. The transformer is stepping down the incoming voltage to 24 VAC, to supply the voltage to the computer and controls.

450268-1

15

S. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT (GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS ONLY)

The hi-limit thermostat is another safety device that we use on gas and electric models. The hi-limit is located in the burner or oven area. The hi-limit switch cuts off the heat, if the temperature exceeds 290° for electric models or 330º for gas models. The only way this device would shut off the heat, is when the airflow changes to the extent of making the flame brush up against it.
