I. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:

1. Read ALLCAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.

2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label located on

the left side of the top console behind the control door as shown on page 8. In case of 208 VAC or 230/240
VAC, the supply voltage must match the electric service exactly.

3. Be sure ALL back panels (guards) and electric box covers have been replaced.

4. Check ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secured in place.

5. Verify pre and HEPA filters have been installed.

6. Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure it moves freely.

7. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.

8. Check to insure air supply (80 PSI [5.51 bars]) is on to the dryer.

9. Check to insure ALL steam shutoff valves are open.

10. Check steam damper operation.

11. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to insure they are ALL tight.

J. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS

ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.

1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.

2. Make sure the main and lint doors are closed.

3. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular dryer.

4. Check to insure that the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the

direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to insure that impellor (fan/blower) rotates in the clockwise
(CW) direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse
two (2) of the leads at L1 and L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
