Installation Procedures ______________
Installation should be performed by competent technicians
in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of
these codes, the installation must conform to applicable
American National Standards: ANSI.Z223.1-LATEST
EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-
LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada,
the installation must conform to Canadian Standards: CAN/
CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91
(L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and
Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2

Unpacking / Setting Up _______________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and/
or optional shipping box) from dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still
attached to the pallet or with the pallet removed. To unpallet
the dryer, locate and remove the four bolts securing the base
of the dryer to the wooden pallet. Two are inside the lower
back guard at the rear base and two are located at the front
base. To remove the bolt located in the front, remove the lint
door. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer off the
pallet.
With the pallet removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer
into its final position, slightly lower all four leveling legs, so
that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
The dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each
corner of the dryer base.
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer
should be tilted slightly to the rear.
