HANDLING THE DRYER SECTION 1
1.1 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT LIFT THE DRYER BY THE INLET PIPING OR CONTROL BOX. THESE COMPONENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE DRYER. PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIP­MENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Lift the dryer by the outlet piping (above vessels).
When lifting the dryer, make sure that the chains or cables are clear of all tubing and fragile components.
If outside storage is required, the unit MUST BE adequately covered to prevent rain or snow from accumulating on the dryer. The unit must be placed on a paved surface to keep it out of standing water and mud.
1.3 EQUIPMENT CHECK
Inspect the dryer for any damage that may have occurred during ship-
ment. Inspect all ttings, piping connections, fasteners, etc. for loose
connections. Also check gauges and lights for cracks or breakage.
IF DRYER HAS BEEN DAMAGED DURING SHIPMENT:
(1) NOTIFY CARRIER IMMEDIATELY AND FILE A CLAIM. (2) CONSULT FACTORY BEFORE OPERATING THE DRYER.
1.2 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The unit should be stored indoors and covered with a tarpaulin to keep it clean. The location should be free from corrosive gasses and extreme humidity, which will cause damage to the unit.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 2
2.1 HANDLING
LIFT THE DRYER BY THE OUTLET PIPING (ABOVE THE VES­SELS) AS THE OTHER COMPONENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE DRYER.
LIFTING BY OTHER COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
2.2 INSTALLATION
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, TURN OFF POWER TO THE AREA WHERE THE DRYER WILL BE INSTALLED. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT IF THIS SAFETY RULE IS NOT FOLLOWED.
DO NOT REMOVE, REPAIR, OR REPLACE ANY ITEM ON DRYER WHILE IT IS PRESSURIZED.
THESE ASME CODE VESSELS MUST BE PROTECTED BY PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES. Refer to OSHA 1910.169 Par. b, Sub. Par (3) and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, UG-125 through UG-136. Also com­ply with all applicable state and local codes.
2.3 OPERATION
DO NOT OPERATE DRYER IF EITHER OF THE VESSELS IS LEAKING. IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE DRYER OUT OF SER­VICE.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS DRYER ABOVE THE MAXIMUM RATED WORKING PRESSURE.
NOTE OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR PROPER PERFORMANCE OF THIS DRYER ARE DIFFERENT FROM MAXIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR THE VESSELS. BE SURE TO CHECK THE DRYER OPERATING CONDITIONS. SEE SEC­TION 3.1
USE THIS DRYER FOR NATURAL GAS ONLY.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS DRYER IF EITHER VESSEL HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY FIRE. TAKE OUT OF SERVICE IMMEDI­ATELY AND NOTIFY YOUR CERTIFYING AUTHORITY.
2.4 MAINTENANCE
WHEN INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT, COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION, GLOVES AND A RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE DEVICE WHEN HANDLING THE DESICCANT. DESICCANT DUST MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. AVOID BREATHING THE DUST AND PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE SKIN.
DO NOT REMOVE, REPAIR, OR REPLACE ANY ITEM ON THE DRYER WHILE IT IS PRESSURIZED. TURN OFF MAIN POWER TO THE DRYER AND DEPRESSURIZE THE DRYER COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
DO NOT WELD OR GRIND THE VESSELS. THEY WILL NOT BE SAFE TO OPERATE. (Note: Any uncertified alteration to the vessels VOIDS the ASME Code Certification.)
FIRST AID IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT WITH DESICCANT DUST; IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THE EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
IT IS CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FILL ALL CONDUIT SEAL FITTINGS (INCLUDING THE ONES TO THE SOLENIOD VALVES) WITH CHICO COMPOUND AND CHICO FIBER TO EN­SURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE EXPLOSION PROOF RATING.
PAGE 2
INSPECT OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF VESSELS REGULARLY FOR CORROSION AND DAMAGE (I.E. DENTS, GOUGES OR BULGES). ANY DAMAGE TO THE VESSELS CAN MAKE THEM UNSAFE TO USE. IF DAMAGED, TAKE OUT OF SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
