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 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.

B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING: The dryer must never be operated with any of the back guards, outer tops, or 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.

b.DO NOT touch any electrical switch.

c.DO NOT use any phone in your building.

d.Clear the room, building, or area of ALL occupants.

e.Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

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 dryer, 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.

4

WARNING: DO NOT dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.

WARNING: DO NOT use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or 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 burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of 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 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 or the heat circuit devices 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.

13.For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the dryer must not be operated with a load less than sixty-six percent (66%), AD-25 (25 lbs [11.33 kg]), AD-30 (30 lbs [13.60 kg]), AD-50 (50 lbs [22.68 kg]) of its rated capacity.

WARNING: YOU MUST DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY AND

THE GAS SUPPLY OR THE STEAM 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: 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. UNPACKING/SETTING UP

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

IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.

NOTE: For OPL (non-coin) dryer models equipped with locks (top control door has no lock, secure in place with screws), the lock used is a dummy lock and no key is supplied or needed. The lock can be turned with any key, a screwdriver, a small coin, or any small sharp object. For coin-operated dryers, the MK-100 (master key for both the control door and lint door) should be made accessible because it will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the dryer.

The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.

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.

To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.

The lint coop is supported during shipping by a bracket. REMOVE THIS BRACKET BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER.

1.Leveling Dryer

The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.

12

B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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-B149.1-M91 (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.The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

3.The dryer is for use in noncombustible locations.

4.Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided as noted in this manual (refer to Fresh Air Supply Requirements in Section D).

5.Clearance provisions must be made from combustible construction as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).

6.Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for servicing and for operation as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).

7.Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in

Section E).

8.Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).

IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be necessary.

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

10.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 build up.

13

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top; 18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam dryers, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed if desired.

NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.

X = 12-inch (30.48 cm) minimum, 24-inches (60.96 cm) is suggested for ease of maintenance.

*1-inch (2.54 cm) maximum for electric dryers.

**18-inch (45.72 cm) minimum for steam dryers.

NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.

Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration above for details.

14

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The fresh air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. If registers or louvers are installed over the openings, then the area must be increased. It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.

EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 3 feet (0.61 meters by 0.91 meters), (6 square feet [0.56 square meters]) are acceptable.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.

Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.

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.

NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
