Preventative Maintenance Instructions - Dexter Laundry B Series Operators Manual Installation & Operation Instructions

Routine Non-Technical Maintenance and Cleaning:
DAILY
1. Clean lint screens. Use soft brush if necessary. Failure to do so will slow drying, increase
temperatures throughout the dryer and increase the risk of fire. Dryer must not be operated without lint
screen in place. Without the lint screen in place, lint will accumulate in the ductwork and flue exit
reducing ventilation of exhaust gases.
2. Check lint screens for tears. Replace if necessary. Failure to replace a torn lint screen can result in
lint accumulation and reduced ventilation of exhaust gases.
MONTHLY
1. Removal of accumulated lint using a brush and vacuum cleaner. (Disconnect power to dryer before
beginning.)
a. Clean lint from lint screen compartments.
b. Remove lint accumulation from end bells of motors.
c. Vacuum the openings in the burner primary air openings.
d. Remove any lint from control compartment.
e. Remove lint and dirt accumulation from top of the dryer and all areas above, below, and
around the burners and burner housing. Failure to keep this portion of the dryer clean can
lead to a buildup of lint creating a fire hazard.
2. Apply a few drops of light oil on top and bottom pivots of the loading door hinges to keep in good
working order.
3. Grease intermediate pulley bearings and shafts using pressure grease gun and lithium base grease.
Failure to do so can result in reduced product life.
QUARTERLY
1. Inspect door gasket for excessive wear.
