2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer's data label located on
the left side panel area behind the top control (access) door as shown in the illustration on page 8. In the
case of 208 VAC or 230/240 VAC the supply voltage must match the electric service exactly.
3. GAS MODELS - Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the
dryer's data label.
4. GAS MODELS - The sail switch damper assembly was installed and pre-adjusted at the factory prior to
shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to assure that this important safety
control is functioning.
NOTE: Check the microprocessor controller (computer) programming to ensure it is configured for a
gas type dryer. Review system parameters in Location 2.
5. Be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
NOTE: The drive belts are disconnected at the factory prior to shipment.
6. GAS MODELS - Be sure that ALL electric box covers have been replaced.
7. Check ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secured in place.
8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.
NOTE: LINT DRAWER MUST BE CLOSED TO ACTIVATE THE SAFETY SWITCH
OTHERWISE THE DRYER WILL NOT START.
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
10. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.
11. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to insure they are ALL tight.
12. GAS MODELS and STEAM MODELS - Check to insure air supply (80 PSI [5.51 bars]) is connected
to the dryer.
13. STEAM MODELS - Check to insure ALL steam shutoff valves are open.
14. STEAM MODELS - Check steam damper operation.
