General Information GENERAL The dryer is so designed that when an operator opens the dryer door, INFORMATION the basket and exhaust fan stops. You can expect fast drying from a laundry dryer. Hot, dry air is properly and effectively moved through the basket and exhausted through a lint trap to the atmosphere.
Grounding Instructions (Illustration) grounding method must comply with local electrical code requirements; or in the absence of local codes, with the National ELECTRICAL Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CONNECTIONS CA C22.1. See wiring diagram furnished with dryer. Your dryer is completely wired at the factory and it is only necessary for the electrician to connect the power leads to the wire connectors within the service connection box on the rear of the dryer.
Piping Recommendations PIPING 1. Trap each dryer individually. Always keep the trap clean and in good working condition. RECOMMENDATIONS 2. When dryer is on the end of a line of equipment, extend header at least 4 feet (1.22 m) beyond dryer. Install globe valve, union, check valve and by-pass trap at end of line.
Gas Piping Installation GAS PIPING 1. The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code, INSTALLATION ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Codes. 2. Check identification nameplate for type of gas for dryer. 3.

Gas Piping Installation (Illustration) The dryer and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it's individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Gas Service Installation Instructions The size of the gas service pipe is dependant upon many variables, GAS SERVICE such as tees, lengths, etc. Specific pipe size should be obtained from INSTALLATION the gas supplier. Refer to the “Gas Pipe Size” chart in this manual for INSTRUCTIONS general gas pipe size information.
Gas Pipe Size Chart TOTAL BTU/HR GAS PIPE SIZE FOR 1000 BTU (250 KCAL) NATURAL GAS (for LP Gas correct AT 7” (17.8 CM) W.C. PRESSURE TOTAL total BTU/HR below by KCAL multiplying by .6) In figuring total length of pipe, make allowance for tees and elbows. HOUR (25 ft.) (50 ft.)
Page 22
Steam Piping Installation Instructions STEAM PIPING 1. Set and anchor dryer in position. Machine should be level to INSTALLATION assure proper steam circulation. INSTRUCTIONS 2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to dryer, piping should have a minimum 12" (305 mm) above respective header.
Dryer Installation With Multiple Exhaust For Exhaust Duct less than 14 feet (4.3 m) and 2 elbows equivalent and less than 0.3 inches (7.6 mm) water column static pressure. DRYER EXHAUSTS Area of section “A-A” must be equal to the sum of dryer exhaust pipes entering multiple exhaust pipe.
Dryer InstallationWith Multiple Exhaust For Exhaust Duct more than 14 feet (5 m) and 2 elbows equivalent and DRYER INSTALLATION more than 0.3 inches (8 mm) water column static pressure. WITH MULTIPLE EXHAUST (See illustration on next page.) 1. Make-up air from outside building may enter enclosure from top or side walls.
Dryer Installation With Separate Exhaust (Preferred) DRYER INSTALLATION For ductwork less than 14 feet (5 m) and 2 elbows equivalent and less than WITH SEPARATE EXHAUST 0.3 inches (8 mm) water column static pressure: (PREFERRED) NEVER exhaust the dryer into a chimney. NEVER install wire mesh screen over the exhaust or make-up air area.

Exhaust and Venting DRYER AIR FLOW Nothing is more important than air flow for the proper operation of a clothes INSTALLATION dryer. A dryer is a pump which draws make-up air from the out-of-doors, through the heater, through the clothes and then forces the air through the exhaust duct back to the out-of-doors.
Rules for Safe Operation of Dryer 1. Be sure your dryer is installed properly in accordance with the RULES FOR SAFE recommended instructions. OPERATION OF DRYER 2. CAUTION Be safe—shut main electrical power supply and gas supply off externally before attempting service. 3.
Operating Instructions—Coin Meter Models OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS—COIN METER MODELS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS—COIN 1. After loading the dryer with water washed clothes, close the loading METER MODELS door. 2. ELECTRO-MECHANICAL COIN METER: Insert proper coin(s) in slot and turn knob until it stops. COMPUTERIZED COIN METER: Insert coin.

Troubleshooting Chart Troubleshooting Chart TROUBLE CAUSE REMEDY Motor will not start. No power. Check fuses on circuit breakers. Make sure main control switch is “on”. Check bonnet thermostat (gas only). Incorrect power. Check power source; voltage, phase and frequency must be the same as specified on electrical rating plate.
Troubleshooting Chart Troubleshooting Chart TROUBLE CAUSE REMEDY Dryer noisy or vibrating. Not leveled. Check manual for proper leveling procedures. Fan out of balance. Accidental damage to the fan blade can change the dynamic balance. Damaged fans should be replaced. Basket rubbing. Adjust basket clearance.
Troubleshooting Chart Troubleshooting Chart TROUBLE CAUSE REMEDY Dryer runs, but no heat. Air switch out of adjustment. See air switch adjustment sheet. (continued) Air switch defective. Replace air switch. Gas pressure too low. Check manifold pressure and adjust to pressure specified on rating plate.
Page 38
Troubleshooting Chart Troubleshooting Chart TROUBLE CAUSE REMEDY Dryer too hot. Incorrect main burner orifice. Replace orifices. Check factory for correct size. Inadequate make-up air. Make-up air must be 4 to 6 times the exhaust area of the dryer. Lint accumulated. Remove lint.
