1. Check gas burner orifice (manifold) pressure as
follows. Refer to Figure 12.
2. Remove screw plug from pressure tap.
3. Connect a “U”-tube manometer (or similar
pressure gauge) to the burner orifice (manifold)
pressure tap.
4. Start tumbler and note pressure once flame is
burning. Remove regulator cap and adjust
regulator screw until the burner orifice pressure
per applicable table is achieved. Replace
regulator cap. Refer to Figure 12.
A drying tumbler produces combustible
lint. To reduce the risk of fire, the tumbler
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
W057
To reduce the risk of fire and
accumulation of combustible gases, DO
NOT exhaust tumbler air into a window
well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed,
unventilated area such as an attic wall,
ceiling, crawl space under a building, or
concealed space of a building.
W059
Layout
Whenever possible, install tumblers along an outside
wall where duct length can be kept to a minimum, and
make-up air can be easily accessed. Construction must
not block the airflow at the rear of the tumbler. Doing
so would prevent adequate air supply to the tumbler
combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A tumbler is forced air exhausted and requires provisions
for make-up air to replace air exhausted by tumbler.
Venting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, do not install in-line
secondary lint filters or lint collectors.
W730
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure,
which will decrease tumbler efficiency and will void
machine warranty.
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumbler air must be exhausted to the
outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth, so the joints do not permit the accumulation
of lint. DO NOT use plastic or thin foil flexible ducts.
Use exhaust ducts made of sheet metal or other
noncombustible material. Use duct tape or pop-rivets
on all seams and joints.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumbler(s).
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.

Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
Make-up air openings in rooms containing tumbler(s)
and/or gas fired hot water heater or other gravity vented
appliances must be increased sufficiently to prevent
downdrafts in any of the vents when all tumblers are in
operation. Do not locate gravity vented appliances
between tumbler(s) and make-up air openings. If it is
necessary to duct make-up air to tumbler(s), increase
area of duct work by 25% to compensate for
restrictions in air movement.
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
W355
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to Figure 15.
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumbler. Do not
install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumblers. It is better to have the water heater in a
separate room with a separate air inlet.
For maximum efficiency and performance, it is
preferred to exhaust tumbler(s) individually to the
outdoors.
IMPORTANT: At no point may the cross sectional
area of installed venting be less than the cross
sectional area of the exhaust outlet of the tumbler.
The exhaust duct must be designed so the static back
pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm) from the
exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker
on the rear of the tumbler.
NOTE: Static back pressure must be measured
with the tumbler running.
The maximum allowable length venting is 14 feet (4.3 m)
and two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the equivalent
length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the
maximum allowable equivalent length, the diameter of
a round duct must be increased by 10% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Cross section area of a
rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Refer to Table 2 to
determine equivalent venting.
Equivalent Length (feet) = 1.17 x Duct Diameter (inches)
Equivalent Length of
Straight Duct
One 90° elbow = 9.3 ft. (2.83 m)
One 90° elbow = 11.6 ft. (3.5 m)
One 90° elbow = 14 ft. (4.3 m)
One 90° elbow = 16 ft. (4.9 m)
One 90° elbow = 18.7 ft. (5.7 m)
One 90° elbow = 21 ft. (6.4 m)
Manifold Venting
While it is preferable to exhaust tumblers individually
to the outdoors, a main collector duct may be used if it
is sized according to Figure 16 and Figure 17. This
illustration indicates minimum diameters, and should
be increased if the collector length exceeds 14 feet (4.3
m) and two 90° elbows. The diameter of a round duct
must be increased by 10% for each additional 20 feet
(6.1 m). Cross sectional area of a rectangular or square
duct must be increased 20% for each additional 20 feet
(6.1 m). Refer to Tabl e 3 and Tabl e 4 tab to determine
equivalent ducting sizing. The collector duct may be
rectangular or square in cross section, as long as the
area is not reduced. Provisions MUST be made for lint
removal and cleaning of the collector duct.
The vent collector system must be designed so the
static back pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm)
from the exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure of 0.5 W.C.I. (1.3 mbar) as
specified on the installation sticker on the rear of
tumbler. Static back pressure must be measured with
all tumblers vented into the collector operating.
NOTE: Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle
to the collector duct. Refer to Figure 14. Doing so
will cause excessive back pressure, resulting in poor
performance. Never connect two tumbler exhaust
ducts directly across from each other at the point of
entry to the collector duct.
With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point
in the duct should be at least 1200 feet per minute
(366 m/min.) to ensure that lint remains airborne. If
1200 feet per minute cannot be maintained,
schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the
ductwork.
Table 2
Example: A 12 inch (305 mm) diameter duct’s
equivalent length of 14 feet (4.3 m) of duct and two
90° elbows is:
Equivalent Length = 14 feet + (2) 90° elbows
= 14 feet + 14 feet + 14 feet
= 42 feet (12.8 m)
With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point
in the duct should be at least 1200 feet per minute
(366 m/min.) to ensure that lint remains airborne. If
1200 feet per minute cannot be maintained,
schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the
ductwork.

It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all
tumbler gas connections. This can be done by
installing a 1 inch (25.4 mm) pipe gas loop to maintain
equal pressure at all gas connections. Refer to
Figure 19.
IMPORTANT: The tumbler must be isolated
from
the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressure equal to or less than
0.5 psig
(3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar).
IMPORTANT: The tumbler and its manually
operated appliance gas valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of
0.5 psi (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar).
IMPORTANT: The installation must comply with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes:
●with the latest edition of the “National Fuel
Gas Code,” ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the
U.S.A.,
●with CAN/CSA-B149.1 or Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code in Canada,

NOTE: Machines require a constant 80 to 100 psig
(5.62 to 7.03 kg/sq cm) steam service for optimum
operation. The maximum allowable steam pressure
for use with 60 Hertz or 50 Hertz tumblers is
125 psig (8.6 bar). In no case may the pressure
exceed the above value.
Obtain specific steam service pipe sizes from steam
system supplier or a qualified steam fitter.
●Refer to Figure 23 for proper steam pipe
configurations.
●To prevent condensate draining from headers to
tumbler, piping should have a minimum 12 inch
(305 mm) rise above respective header. Do not
make steam connection to header with a
horizontal or downward facing tee or elbow.
●Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam
lines must drain, by gravity, to respective steam
header. Water pockets, or an improperly drained
steam header will provide wet steam, causing
improper operation of tumbler. If pockets or
improper drainage cannot be eliminated, install a
bypass trap to drain condensate from the low
point in the steam header to the return.
●Install vacuum breaker (optional), bucket trap
with built-in strainer and check valve. For
successful operation of tumbler, install trap
18 inches (457 mm) below coil and as near to the
tumbler as possible. Inspect trap carefully for
inlet and outlet markings and install according to
trap manufacturer's instructions. If steam is
gravity returned to boiler, omit trap but install
vacuum breaker and check valve in return line
near tumbler. Gravity return requires entire return
plumbing be below steam coil outlets.
●Install union and shut-off valve in return line and
make final pipe connections to return header.
NOTE: To prevent water hammering, route return
lines below outlets of steam coils.
●In both steam supply and steam return line, it is
recommended that each have a pipe union and
shut-off valve. This will enable you to disconnect
the steam connections and service the tumbler
while your laundry facility is in operation.
●Connect the steam solenoid valve to the related
steam coil inlet connection with nipples, flex
hoses, unions and tees.

●Insulate steam supply and return lines for safety
of operator and safety while servicing tumbler.
●Keep tumbler in good working condition. Repair
or replace any worn or defective parts.
WARNING
All system components must have a
125 psig (8.6 bar) working pressure.
Shut-off valves must be installed upstream
of the steam solenoid valve and
downstream of each steam trap so
components can be isolated for
maintenance or emergency purposes.
All components (solenoid valve, traps)
must be supported to minimize loads on
the tumbler steam coil connections.

of additional heat time given for each coin pulse. The
additional drying time is added to the factory default
minimum heat time of one minute. A valve of 1 to 64
minutes of additional drying time is available for each
coin drop pulse.
The last two switches are used to program the amount
of additional cool down time. The additional cool
down time is added to the factory default minimum
cool down time of 1 minute. A value of 1 to 3
additional minutes is available. The control is shipped
from the factory programmed with 1 minute of
minimum heat time, preset with 7 additional minutes
of drying time (dipswitches 1, 2 and 3 in ON position)
and 1 minute of minimum cool down time for a total
time of 9 minutes for a coin pulse. For dipswitch
settings Refer to Tab le 12.
The control reads the dipswitch settings at power-up.
The control must be powered down to change the

Removal of Existing Timing Cam
1. Rotate cam by hand until “V” notch lines up
beneath the ratchet tooth. Refer to Figure 24.
2. Insert narrow screwdriver under nylon cam, close
to the clock shaft. Lift gently off shaft. Make sure
that pressure is directed upward and that the “V”
notch clears the ratchet tooth.
Installation of New Timing Cam
1. Insert drive fork into timing cam with wide prong
in wide hole of cam.
2. Position timing cam and drive fork over the timer
shaft, aligning the timer flat with the drive fork
and the “V” notch with one of the ratchet teeth.
3. Press timing cam down firmly to seat timing cam
onto the motor shaft.

4. Remove all accumulated time by turning cam
counterclockwise until switch shuts off. Apply
moderate clockwise pressure to fully seated
timing cam and drive against the timing motor
shaft. Meter must be advanced electrically for
one cycle before an accurate measure of time can
be made.
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.
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.

Gas Burner Air Shutter
NOTE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system
for proper combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutters be sure that all
lint is removed from lint compartments and lint
screen.
PROPER AIRFLOW
1
INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW
Air shutter adjustments will vary from location to
location and will depend on the vent system, number
of units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure.
Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary
air supplied to the burner while closing the shutter
decreases the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as
follows:
Refer to Figure 25.
1. Open the access panel.
2. Start the tumbler and check the flame pattern. If
the flame pattern is straight up, insufficient air is
flowing through the tumbler and airflow switch is
improperly set. A flame pattern that flares to the
right and left indicates no air is flowing through
the tumbler. Correct air and gas mixture is
indicated if the flame pattern is primarily blue,
with small yellow tips, and bends to the right of
the heater section. Too little air is indicated if the
flame if yellow, lazy and smokey.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter
adjusting screw.
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain
proper flame intensity.
To reduce the risk of fire due to
inadequate airflow, the airflow switch
must be adjusted to operate per the
instructions in this manual.
W674
The airflow switch (located on the rear of tumbler,
Figure 26) is set at the factory for proper operation.
However, if there is a problem with the switch, it
should be adjusted as follows:
●Confirm exhaust duct and make-up air vents are
properly sized and not obstructed. Refer to
Make-Up Air and Venting sections.
●Confirm lint screen is clean and access panels are
in place.
●Check operation of airflow switch and adjust as
follows:
NOTE: Steam models do not have an airflow
switch.
The airflow switch operation is controlled by the
counterweight position in the shaft. Moving the
counterweight either increases or decreases airflow
switch sensitivity. The counterweight should be
adjusted so the disc moves away from the cabinet when
the lint panel is opened 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) with a full
load. Adjust the airflow switch as follows:
1. Load the tumbler. This adjustment is much faster
to make with one person opening lint panel in
front and another adjusting the counterweight in
the rear of tumbler.
2. Temporarily tape down the lint panel safety
switch located behind the upper right corner of
the lint panel.
3. Start the tumbler. Open the lint panel 1.5 inches
(38.1 mm). The airflow disc should move away
from the cabinet, opening the switch contacts and
shutting off the heat system. This indicates
proper operation and proper adjustment.
4. If switch is not opening as described in step 3, it
should be adjusted so it is MORE sensitive.
Depress the spring clip and move counterweight
toward disc. Retest by opening lint panel and
continue moving counterweight toward disc until
switch operates as described in step 3.
5. If switch opens BEFORE lint panel is opened the
proper distance, step 3, it should be adjusted so it
is LESS sensitive. Depress the spring clip and
move counterweight away from the disc. Retest
by opening lint panel and continue moving
counterweight away from disc until switch
operates as described in step 3.
Loading door switch is factory preset, no field
adjustment is necessary.
Loading Door Catch
The door catch must be adjusted to have sufficient
tension to hold loading door closed against force of load
tumbling against it. Proper adjustment is when 8 to
15 pounds (35.6 N – 66.7 N) pull is required to open
door.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 27 and
proceed as follows:
To adjust, open door, loosen acorn nut and turn door
strike screw in or out as required. Tighten acorn nut.

Drive Belt
Nonreversing Models
Refer to Figure 28.
Proper tension is when the drive V-belt can be
depressed approximately 0.5 inch (13 mm) by
applying light thumb pressure at a point midway
between the sheave and motor pulley.
1. Remove guard from rear of tumbler.
2. To adjust belt tension, loosen idler housing bolts
holding idler housing assembly to the guide rails.
3. Position housing assembly by turning adjusting
bolt until proper belt tension is reached, then
retighten idler housing bolts.
4. Replace the guard on rear of tumbler.
Reversing Models
Refer to Figure 29.
Proper tension is when the drive belt can be depressed
approximately 0.5 inch (13 mm) by applying light
thumb pressure (approximately 5 pounds [0.35 bar]) at
a point midway between the sheave and motor pulley.
