a. Reassembly For 2 Door/Rear Tilt (Pass Thru) Gas Dryers:

Lift the basket (tumbler) section onto the base.

1) Rear tilt dryers have two (2) tilting pistons. The two (2) pistons are in the front corners of the base

and there are two (2) piston posts in the rear corners of the base. On the top of both tilting pistons
and both piston posts are clevis blocks. Use the four (4) 1/2” x 1-1/8” long hex head bolts with lock
washers to secure each clevis block to the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section. (Refer to [top]
View 1 on the previous page.)

2) 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 [bottom] View 2 on the previous page.)

3) There are two (2) electrical reconnections:

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 basket (tumbler) section power cable 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)
drive 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 right side and left side tilt guards.

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 left side of the base.

6) On dryers equipped with two (2) automatic (piston operated) load and unload doors, reconnect the

poly-flo air lines that run from the base up to each set of door pistons.
