Individual circuit breakers for each unit are recommended. The wiring diagram is located on the belt guard on
the back of the machine.
IMPORTANT: TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGE SUPPRESSORS
Like most electrical equipment, your new machine can be damaged or have its life shortened by voltage surges
due to lightening strikes which are not covered by factory warranty. Local power distribution problems also can
be detrimental to the life of electrical components. We recommend the installation of transient voltage surge
suppressors for your new equipment. These devices may be placed at the power supply panel for the complete
installation and don’t require an individual device for each machine.
These surge protectors help to protect equipment from large spikes and also from small ongoing spikes in the
power that occur on a day to day basis. These smaller surges can shorten overall life of electrical components of
all types and cause their failure at a later date. Although they can’t protect against all events, these protective
devices have a good reputation for significantly lengthening the useful life of electronic components. Electronic
components are helped to have a longer useful life when they are supplied with the clean stable electrical power
they like.
We are including the following names and phone numbers of a few suppliers of these devices for those who don’t
currently have a source.

5. GAS REQUIREMENTS. The complete gas requirements necessary to operate the dryer satisfactorily are
listed on the serial plate located on the back panel of the dryer.
The inlet gas connection to the unit is 1/2 inch pipe thread.
A joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases should be employed in making pipe
connections.
A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, must be installed immediately upstream
of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
A drip tee should be provided in the gas piping entering the unit to catch dirt and other foreign articles.
All pipe connections should be checked for leakage with soap solution. Never check with an open flame.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610m) it is necessary to derate the BTU input. Contact your local distributor for
instructions.
L.P. gas conversion kits are available for this dryer. Contact your local distributor.
CAUTION: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. The dryer must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
6. EXHAUST INSTALLATION. (Refer to Figure 2 at the end of section 6.) Exhausting of the dryer(s) should
be planned and constructed so that no air restrictions occur. Any restriction due to pipe size or type of installation
can cause slow drying time, excessive heat, and lint in the room.
From an operational standpoint, incorrect or inadequate exhausting can cause a cycling of the high limit thermostat
which shuts off the main burners and results in inefficient drying.
Individual exhausting of the dryers is recommended. All heat, moisture, and lint should be exhausted outside
by attaching a pipe of the proper diameter to the dryer adapter collar and extending it out through an outside wall.
