IMPORTANT: Always keep the tumbler (basket) section of the dryer in an upright position when
moving it.
1. Tumbler (Basket)
The tumbler is made of five (5)14-gauge stainless steel perforated panels, five (5) stainless steel lifting ribs,
and two (2) outer tumbler rings. The tumbler (basket) is a completely welded assembly so the perforated
panels are not removable.
2. Tumbler (Basket) Support System
The tumbler (basket) sits on four (4) 11-inch diameter heavy-duty rubber roller wheels which supports and
drives the tumbler. Two (2) rubber wheels are pressed into each of four (4) steel hubs. The steel hubs are
fastened to the 2-inch diameter drive shafts by taper lock bushings. Each drive shaft is supported by two (2)
2-inch diameter heavy duty roller bearings. The position of the tumbler (basket) is adjusted by moving these
bearings in or out with the four (4) bearings adjustment bolts.
