“IMPORT ANT NOTE TO PURCHASER”
Information must be obtained from your local gas supplier on the instructions
to be followed if the user smells gas. These instructions must be posted in a
prominent location near the dryer.
IMPORTANT
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 HealthAdministration) ST ANDARDS.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
DO NOT DRY MOP HEADS IN THE DRYER.
DO NOT USE DRYER IN THE PRESENCE OF DRY CLEANING FUMES.
CAUTION
DRYERS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE IN
OPERATION.
WARNING
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY ON OR NEAR
THE DRYERS.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED IF NEAR DRYER(S) IN
OPERATION.
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.
WARNING
DRYER MUST NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT THE LINT
FILTER OR SCREEN IN PLACE, EVEN IF AN EXTERNAL LINT
COLLECTION SYSTEM IS USED.
IMPORTANT
PLEASE OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS displayed on the
equipment and specified in the installation manual included with the dryer.
The wiring diagram for the dryer is located in the front electrical control box area.
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
ACCUMULA TION OF LINT CAN CREA TE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DR YER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MA TERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day .
DAILY(beginning of each work shift)
Clean lint from baskets (tumblers).
Inspect lint screen(s) and drawer(s) for damage and replace if torn.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from around microprocessor temperature sensor probes and sensor bracket assemblies.
90 DAYS
Remove lint from air vents and surrounding area.
IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict the airflow over the motor(s), causing overheating and
irreparable motor damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation will VOID THE
WARRANTY.
3
Remove lint accumulation from around the openings in the dryer’s back panels.
Remove lint from gas valve burner train area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Remove any lint accumulation from coin acceptor area, including the optical switch.
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from the dryer’s
internal exhaust ducting.
W ARNING: THE ACCUMULA TION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREA TE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
Clean the steam coil fins (or filters). We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush
attachment.
NOTE: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by
using a fin comb, which is available from local air conditioning supply houses.
6 MONTHS
In the cleaning of the dryer’s cabinet, avoid using harsh abrasives. A product for the cleaning of appliances is
recommended.
ALL bearings and setscrews should be checked to insure that they are tight.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, nonpermanent gas connections, (unions,
shutoff valves, and orifices) and electrical terminations. The 12-Rib 95” (J) poly belt arrangement should be
examined. A cracked or seriously frayed belt(s) should be replaced. T ighten loose belt(s) when necessary and
check the alignment. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete operational check of
safety devices (door switches, lint compartment switches, sail switches, and burner and hi-limit thermostats).
ALL
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearings, and basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently lubricated. No lubrication is
necessary.
