IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A. RECEIVING and HANDLING

The dryer is shipped in either a protective polyethylene cover and protective comers or is enclosed in a
cardboard carton as a means of protection in transit. Upon delivery, the shipping carton and wooden skid
should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If carton or wooden skid is damaged, inspect further.

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 tmcker'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.

together and take the skid apart. The dryer can now be removed from the skid.

With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower all 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 at each comer of the drying base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base and two (2) are

located in the lint chamber.

NOTE: 100 lb. ONLY: This unit does not have leveling legs. To level the dryer, place 4-inch square

metal shims or other suitable material under the base pads.

The tumblers of the 30, 50, and 75 lb. model dryers are supported during shipping by a wooden block.
Remove the block before starting the dryer.
