NOTICE
Do not use tanks which have previously been used for ammonia or fertilizer solutions. These substances are extremely corrosive and will damage fuel supply and burner parts.
WARNING
Do not use flame for leak testing.
Liquid Propane (LP)
Top Dry dryers have internal vaporizers and are designed to operate on liquid draw from the supply tank. Avoid using propane supply tanks that have been used for vapor draw for long periods of time. When using liquid draw systems, any moisture that may be present in tanks or lines may freeze when the system is used in cold weather. To avoid this situation, purge the system with methanol.
Because the vaporizer coil may need to be adjusted during operation flexible hose suitable for LPs should be used for the final field connection.
See the below “Fuel Systems and Recommendations Chart” for liquid propane (LP) to determine the correct size line to run from the tank to the dryer. Have a qualified gas service person inspect the installation to be sure that everything is installed according to local codes and ordinances.
After installation is complete, check all connections for leaks with liquid detergent or comparable. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with liquid propane.

Natural Gas (NG)
This dryer is designed to operate on natural gas. Natural gas units have a larger orifice to accommodate lower pressures sometimes found with natural gas and do not have vaporizer coils like liquid propane units. A regulated pressure of 10 PSI minimum, 30 PSI maximum must be provided at the field connection point on the fan/heater unit, with gas available in sufficient volume to maintain the operating pressure.
See the below “Fuel Systems and Recommendations Chart” for natural gas (NG) to determine the correct size line to run to the dryer. Have a qualified gas service person inspect the installation to be sure everything is installed according to local codes and ordinances.
After installation is complete, check all connections for leaks with liquid detergent or comparable. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.

4. Electrical Power Supply

Power Supply
An adequate power supply and proper wiring are important factors to achieve maximum p erformance and long life of the dryer. Electrical service must be adequate enough to prevent low voltage damage to motors and control circuits. (See electrical load information on Page 29.)
Transformer and Wiring Voltage Drop
It is necessary to know the distance from the unit to the available transformer and the horsepower of the fan unit. Advise the service representative of the local power supplier that an additional load will be placed on the line. Each fan motor should be wired through a fused or circuit breaker disconnect switch. Check on KVA rating of transformers, considering total horsepower load. The power supply wiring, main switch equipment and transformers must provide adequate motor starting and operating voltage. Voltage drop during motor starting should not exceed 14% of normal voltage and after motor is running at full speed it should be within 8% of normal voltage. Check electrical load information for HP ratings and maximum amp loads to properly size wire and fusing elements. Standard electrical safety practices and codes should be used. (Refer to National Electrical Code Standard Handbook by National Fire Protection Association.)
Machine to Earth Grounding
It is very important that a Machine to Earth Ground Rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is a ground at the pole 15' away. Place the ground rod within 8' of the dryer and attach it to th e dryer control panel with at least a #6 solid, bare, copper ground wire and the clamp provided. The grounding rod located at the power pole will not provide adequate grounding for the dryer. The proper grounding will provide additional safety in case of any short and will ensure long life of all circuit boards and the ignition system. The ground rod must be in accordance with local requirements.
PNEG-634 2000 Top Dry Fan/Heater 25
Page 26
4. Electrical Power Supply
Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 or 2 gallons of water. Work the ground rod into the earth until it is completely in the ground.
Proper Installation of Ground Rod
The ground rod should not be driven into dry ground. Follow these instructions for proper installation:
1. Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 to 2 gallons of water.
2. Fill hole with water.
3. Insert rod through water and jab it into the ground.
4. Continue jabbing the rod up and down. The water will work its way down the hole, making it possible to work the rod completely into the ground. This method of installing the rod gives a good conductive bond with the surrounding soil.
5. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the rod with the proper ground rod clamp. (See Figure 4B
on Page 27.)
6. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the fan control boxes with a grounding lug.
7. Ground wire must not have any breaks or splices.
