SHIMMING THE BASKET AND SPIDER ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SHIMMING THE BASKET
AND SPIDER ASSEMBLY
This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the basket
or the spider assembly on any dryer. The alignment of these two parts
are crucial in assuring a true running basket.
A. Align the basket as per instructions on the previous page.
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. If it is
between two ribs, both ribs may need to be shimmed.
D. Remove the basket from the dryer (do not loosen the alignment
bolts).
E. With the basket on the floor (spider up), loosen the cap screws
and tie rod nuts enough to insert one or two shims between the
spider leg and the basket at the marked position. With shims in
place, tighten the screws and nuts.
F. Install spider and basket assembly and check again.
G. If basket is still out-of-round, start at Step B and repeat
procedure.
H. When shimming is completed, re-align basket.
