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 applicable Canadian Standards:
CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-
M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation

Unpacking / Setting Up _______________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and
optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in
an upright position at all times.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached
to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the dryer,
locate and remove the four bolts securing the base of the
dryer to the wooden skid. Two are at the rear base (remove
the back panel for access), and two are located in the bottom
of the lint chamber. To remove the two bolts located in the lint
chamber area, remove the lint door.
With the skid 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.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each
corner of the base. Two are located at the rear of the dryer
base, and two are located in the lint chamber (coop). To
increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should
be tilted slightly to the rear.
