SHIMMING THE BASKET AND SPIDER ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SHIMMING THE BASKET
AND SPIDER ASSEMBLY This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the
basket or the spider assembly on any dryer. The alignment of these
two parts are crucial in assuring a true running basket.
A. Align the basket as per instructions on the previous page.
B. Rotate the basket to determine where the most out-of-round
point is (where the basket scrapes or comes closest to
scraping the sweep sheet).
C. Mark this position and the nearest rib to this position. If it is
between two ribs, both ribs may need to be shimmed.
D. Remove the basket from the dryer (do not loosen the
alignment bolts).
E. With the basket on the floor (spider up), loosen the cap
screws and tie rod nuts enough to insert one or two shims
between the spider leg and the basket at the marked position.
With shims in place, tighten the screws and nuts.
F. Install spider and basket assembly and check again.
G. If basket is still out-of-round, start at Step B and repeat
procedure.
H. When shimming is completed, re-align basket.
