  • Page 13: Location Requirements

    B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1- M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).

  • Page 14: Dryer Enclosure Requirements

    9. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. 10. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.
  • Page 15 It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to ALL the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, a total make-up air opening of 16 square feet (1.49 square meters) is required.

  • Page 16: Exhaust Requirements

    E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats.
  • Page 17 IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.). NOTE: Careful consideration should be given to where the exhaust duct is located in relation to the make-up air openings.
  • Page 18 The illustration below shows the ductwork connection points and what internal ductwork is included in the dryer. The exhaust connection at the top basket (tumbler) must be made at the blower duct inside the cabinet. No internal ductwork is included for the top basket (tumbler) (not available from ADC and must be purchased elsewhere).
  • Page 19 a. Connecting Both Top Baskets (Tumblers) and Bottom Baskets (Tumblers) Together Both the top basket (tumbler) and the bottom basket (tumbler) can “Y” together to form one (1) connection point. The bottom basket (tumbler) already includes a 6-inch (15.24 cm) diameter ducting extending to the lower back guard area.
  • Page 20 3. Single Dryer Venting When possible, it is suggested that a separate exhaust duct be provided for each dryer. The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible.
  • Page 22 b. Single Dryer Venting - with common (top basket [tumbler] and bottom basket [tumbler] connected together) exhaust connections. If the top and bottom baskets (tumblers) connect or “Y” together as noted is Section E, the minimum diameter size at the “Y” or point of connections is 10-inches (25.4 cm) in diameter (80 square inches [516.13 square centimeters] cross-sectional area).
  • Page 23 The main common duct may be any shape so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The main duct should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is added as per the illustrations on page 20 and page 21. The maximum length of venting from the last dryer to where it exhausts is the following: VERTICAL - venting run must not exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters).
  • Page 24 NOTE: The distance between the dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a minimum of 31-1/2” (80.01 cm) dryer’s width. NOTE: The ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at the rear area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels/guards.
  • Page 25 These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer has numerous elbows or is unusually long. For extended runs or where more elbows are added, the cross-sectional area of the duct can only be increased to an extent and a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
  • Page 26 IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers (eight [8] baskets [tumblers]) can be connected to one (1) common duct vent. NOTE: The distance between the dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a minimum of 31-1/2” (80.01 cm) dryer’s width. The ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at the rear area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels/guards.
  • Page 27 IMPORTANT VENTING REMINDERS 1. Ductwork sizing and installation should be done by a qualified professional. 2. The dryer must be vented to the outdoors. 3. The ductwork should be routed as short as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. 4.

The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation.

  • Page 44: Adjustments

    Remove lint accumulation from around the openings in the dryer’s back panels. Remove lint from gas valve burner train area with a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment. Remove any lint accumulation from the coin acceptor area, including the optical switch. Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from the dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

  • Page 45: Lubrication

    C. LUBRICATION The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so, even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting.
