BASKET SHIMMING
INSTRUCTIONS
Basket Shimming Instructions
This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the
basket or the spider assembly on any dryer. Proper shimming is
crucial to obtain a true running basket.
A. Align the basket as per instructions in the manual.
B. Rotate the basket to determine where the most out-of-round
point is (where the basket scrapes or comes closest to
scraping the sweep sheet).
C. Mark this position and the nearest rib to this position.
D. Remove the basket (do not loosen the alignment bolts).
E. With the basket on the floor (spider up), place one or two
shims between the spider leg and the back of the basket at the
marked rib position. (See drawing.)
F. Re-insert spider and basket assembly and re-check cylinder.
G. If at this point, basket is still out-of-round, procedure must be
repeated starting with Step "B".
H. Upon completion of shimming process, realignment of basket
is necessary.
NOTE
If the point mentioned in Step "B" is between two ribs, both
ribs might have to be shimmed.
