H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:

1. Read and follow ALL "CAUTION," "WARNING," and "DIRECTION" labels attached to the dryer.

2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label

located on the rear side of the control door.

3. Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.

4. The sail switch damper assembly is installed and pre-adjusted at the factory prior to dryer shipment.

However, the sail switch adjustment must be checked to assure that this important safety control is

functioning.

5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.

6. Be sure ALL gas shut-off valves are in the open position.

7. Be sure ALL back guard panels and service box covers (3-phase models Only) have been replaced.

NOTE: Make sure lint coop bracket has been removed. Make sure V-belts have been reconnected.

8. Check the lint door to assure that it is closed and secured in place.

IMPORTANT: If during installation the lint door safety chain was disconnected, it must be

reconnected or personal injury may result.

9. Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.

L PREOPERATIONAL TESTS

ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational
test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed

in transit.

1. Turn on electric power to dryer.

2. Refer to the operating instructions for starting your particular model dryers.

3. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial startup), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first

ignition attempt. This is because the gas piping supply is filled with air, so it may take a few

minutes for the air to be plugged from the lines.

4. Remove air from the gas line. Run the dryer about five (5) minutes. If the burner does not ignite

during these five (5) minutes, turn the dryer off and wait a minute.
