One (1) of these labels is attached to each Tumbler (basket) Bearing Assembly (pillow block bearing box) on the

ADG-385/WDA-385 dryer.

Should readjustment or removal of set screws become necessary in the field and the process becomes difficult,

apply heat to the set screw with a soldering gun (450º F) for a few minutes.

4. Using a wheel puller gently push the tumbler shaft towards the front through the front tumbler bearing.

NOTE: An alternate method would be to place a block of wood on the end of the tumbler shaft

and strike it with a heavy hammer. To prevent damage to the shaft, the wheel puller

method is preferred.
