of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each
dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to
keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return
air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent
should be no more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.

2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal
tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.

If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty
knife to press on the toe panel locks located at the upper
corners of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel
to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show

a leak. Correct any leaks found.
