Operation

Reversing Operation

Tumblers with the reversing option prevent the tangling of large pieces of laundry and minimize wrinkling. These tumblers are equipped with a second motor and additional controls which reverse the rotation direction of the cylinder.

Reverse Control Switch

An “on-off” switch for manual timer models, or a touch pad for OPL Micro models is placed in the control panel area so the operator can select the reversing or nonreversing operation. In nonreversing mode, the cylinder will always turn clockwise (as viewed from the front of the tumbler). If the cylinder is turning counterclockwise when switched to nonreversing, it will continue for a few seconds and then start up in the proper direction.

IMPORTANT: After any electrical maintenance is done, make sure that the blower motor is turning counterclockwise. Then set the reverse control switch to “nonreversing” and note that the cylinder turns constantly clockwise as viewed from the front of the tumbler. If not, interchange L1 and L2 service leads to the reverse drive motor.

70283601

Page 17

Maintenance

To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not open the lint panel while the tumbler is in operation. Before cleaning the lint screen, open tumbler door and allow cylinder to completely stop.

W410

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.

• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.

• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.

• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be

reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

W002

Daily

Keep tumbler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Lint Removal

1. Open the lint panel or pull out lint drawer.

2. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment area. Lightly brush any lint that may be left on the lint screen. Lint left in the lint compartment is drawn back onto the lint screen and will restrict proper air circulation.

3. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is, replace immediately. A torn lint screen allows lint to pass from the tumbler to the ductwork system, thus creating a restriction to air circulation.

5. Carefully wipe any accumulated lint off of the cabinet high limit thermostat and thermistor. Failure to do so will allow a buildup of lint in this area to act as an insulator, causing the tumbler to overheat. Refer to Figure 6.

6. Replace the lint compartment panel on the tumbler ensuring a tight fit, and lock if applicable.

TMB1266R

1 Thermistor 2 Lint Screen

4. The lint screen is designed to completely cover the entire opening in the lint screen panel. Be sure that it does so. Excessive gaps between the lint screen and the lint screen panel allow lint to pass into the ductwork system.

W002

Monthly

Lubrication DO NOT lubricate bearings. All bearings are pre-

lubricated and sealed.

Lint Removal

Remove the exhaust duct from the exhaust thimble and remove lint. If excessive lint is evident at the thimble, further disassemble the ductwork and remove lint.

Every Three Months

Lint Removal

1. Clean the lint and any other foreign materials from the air vents located on the motors. The motors are air cooled and if the air vents become clogged, the motor will overheat and the internal thermal overload protector will cycle off.

2. Steam Models: Check the steam coils and remove any lint buildup and/or replace air filter in the coil fin area. This can be accomplished by using compressed air or by fabricating a comb that can be pulled across the fins of the coil.

Every Six Months

Overall Check

Check the tumbler over thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts and screws, and for loose gas, electrical and/or steam connections.

GAS CONNECTIONS: (Unions, flared tube fittings) Check for leakage that might be caused by vibration. Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid. DO NOT

USE A FLAME AT ANY TIME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Electrical service and grounding connections should be examined for proper tightness.

3. Exhaust ducts should be periodically inspected to ensure there has been no buildup of lint which could obstruct the airflow.

4. Inspect the area to make sure nothing is obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

5. Remove front panel and clean any lint buildup.

Belt Tension

Check belt tension and adjust if needed.
