Adjustments; Lubrication - ADC AD-115DR Installation Manual

90 DAYS
Remove lint from around tumbler, drive motors, and surrounding areas.
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint that may have collected in and around the blower motor casing openings.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning or touching ignitor and flame-probe assembly.
Remove lint accumulation from inside the control box and at the rear area behind the control box.
Impellor (fan/blower) shaft bearings should be lubricated using Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent.
Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial with a lithium thickener
and mineral base oil.
6 MONTHS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer-furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer's internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK COULD
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN
EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT
ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE: If the hi-limit trips due to a high temperature occurrence, you must disconnect power before
resetting. To reset, press and release the reset button, which is located on the left side of the
burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the dryer.
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinets, avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections
(unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed
belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and
valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switch, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner,
and hi-limit thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, and under normal/most conditions the tumbler and idler bearings, are permanently lubricated.
It is physically possible to relubricate the tumbler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice may
not be necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The tumbler bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have
a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting, which can be
obtained elsewhere.
