4. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may
result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.

5. Run tumbler with a load before putting tumbler into service.

6. Always disconnect the electrical power to the tumbler before servicing. Disconnect power by shutting off
appropriate circuit breaker or fuse and by turning off the disconnect switch located on the rear of te tumbler.

7. All manually operated models are factory-equipped with an emergency stop button located on the front panel.
If the emergency stop function is desired on coin-operated models, an external emergency stop switch may
be installed as specified on the machine wiring diagram.

NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop switch stops all machine control circuit functions, but does not
remove all electrical power from machine.

NOTE: This drying tumbler produces sound rated at 65 dbA.

The following warning labels will be found on the drying tumbler:

A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. TUMBLER MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Do not touch surface until it has
cooled.

Do not operate without guards in
place.

Disconnect electrical power before
servicing.

Do not touch rotating parts.

WARNING!

To reduce risk of accumulating
unsafe concentrations of combustion
gases, tumbler MUST BE
