a. Reassembly For 1 Door/2-Way Tilt Gas Dryers:

Lift the basket (tumbler) section onto the base.

1) 2-Way tilt dryers have four (4) tilting pistons in the base, one (1) on each corner. On the top of each

piston is a clevis block to the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section. (Refer to [top] View 1 on the
previous page.)

2) The flexible gas hose union is disconnected when the dryer is shipped in two (2) pieces. The

flexible gas hoses are located in the right side of the base. Insert the flexible hoses with the union
half up through the hole on the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section and retighten the union. The
flex hoses must not be kinked. (Refer to [middle] View 2 on the previous page.)

3) There are two (2) electrical connections:

a) A plug and cable is located in the right side of the base. This must be lifted up and reconnected

into the mating socket located at the bottom of the right basket (tumbler) section.

b) The drive motor wires must be lifted up from the base and reconnected into the junction box

next to the basket (tumbler) drive motor in the left side of the basket (tumbler) section.

Make sure both reconnected cables have enough slack in them to allow the dryer to tilt freely in
both directions.

4) Reattach the tilt guard panels:

a) Use 1/4-20 x 3/8” hex head bolts with lock washers to bolt the top of the front tilt guard up into

the bottom of the front of the basket (tumbler) section.

b) Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the side tilt guards on the top sides of the base.

c) Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the rear tilt guards on the rear of the base.

Reconnect the spring and claw assembly, which connects the rear tilt guard to each side tilt
guard. (Refer to [bottom] View 3 on the previous page.) This spring keeps the rear tilt guards
close to the dryer’s back as the dryer is tilted forward and back.

d) Reconnect both chains to the back panel.

5) Secure the 24-inch (60.96 cm) diameter exhaust duct transition piece to the dryer’s rectangular

exhaust duct with the 1/4-20 self-tapping screws supplied with the dryer. The exhaust duct exits
from the rear of the base.

6) On dryers equipped with an automatic (piston operated) load door, reconnect the two (2) poly-flo

air lines that run from the base up to the door pistons.
