Reassembly Instructions For Forward Tilt Dryers:
Lift the basket (tumbler) section onto the base.
Tilt dryers have tilting pistons in the base. Non-tilt dryers use piston posts in the base. On the top of each piston is a
clevis block. Use the four (4) 1/2” x 1-1/8” long hex head bolts with lock washers to secure each piston clevis block to
the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section. (Refer to Piston/Post Reconnection [top] View 1 on the previous page.)
1. Gas Models
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 [bottom left]
View 2 on the previous page.)
2. Steam Models
Both the 2” steam supply line and the 1-1/4” condensate return line flexible hose unions are disconnected when the
dryer is shipped in two (2) pieces. The flexible hoses are located in the right side of the base. Insert both flexible
hose union halves up through the holes on the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section and retighten the unions. The
flex hoses must not be kinked. (Refer to [bottom right] View 2 on the previous page.)
3. There are two (2) electrical reconnections:
a. A 24-pin plug and cable and a 10-pin plug and cable are 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) section.
Make sure that 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 self-tapping screws to secure the hinged rear tilt guard panel on the rear of the base.
b. Use round head screws to secure the tilt guard panel to the rear of the dryer.
c. Use 1/4-20 self-tapping screws to secure the right and left side tilt panel.
d. Use round head screws to secure the right and left lower side panels to the basket (tumbler) section.
5. Secure the 24” 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 optional automatic (piston operated) load door, reconnect the two (2) poly-flo air lines
that run from the base up to the door pistons. Located in the right side of the base.
7. Reconnect the 1/4” poly-flo air line, which runs from the base up to the steam damper solenoid valve, which is
located on the top of the dryer.
