MONTHLY

Retighten set screws in the collars of the four (4) 1-1/2" (3.81 cm) diameter tumbler drive shaft bearings.

Clean lint accumulation from the gas valve/burner area at the top of the dryer, the fan (impellor) motor, and the

fan (impellor) bearings located in the dryer base.

NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching ignitor/flame-probe assembly.

EVERY 6 MONTHS

Check V-belts for tightness and wear. Retighten or replace if required.

On steam dryers, clean steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush

attachment.

NOTE: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by

using a fin comb which is available from local air conditioning supply house.

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust duct work system and from dryer's
internal exhaust ducting.

WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION and VENTILATION AIR.

CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE

EXHAUST DUCT WORK. INSPECT and REMOVE ANY LINT

ACCUMULATION WHICH CAN CAUSE THE DAMPER TO BIND or STICK.

NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in a slow drying and shut down

of the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the

cleaning of appliances is recommended.
