INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installation should be performed by qualified professionals in accordance with local and
state codes. In the absence of these codes, installation must conform to applicable
American National standards:
ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition (National Fuel Gas Code)
and/or
ANSI/NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition (National Electric Code)
UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove stretch wrap protective cover,
shipping corners and top cover from
dryer.
NOTE:
The access keys to the service
doors are included in the information
packet shipped in the top tumbler. These
keys should be removed and put in a safe
place.
Yet,
made
accessible
because
some will be needed throughout various
phases in the installation of the dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final
location while still attached to the skid or
with the skid removed. To unskid the
dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts
securing the base of the dryer to the
wooden skid. Two (2) are located at the
rear of the base, and two (2) are located in
the front. Once the bolts are removed,
slide the dryer off the skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier
to slide the dryer into its final position,
slightly lower all leveling legs so that the
dryer will slide on the legs instead of the
base frame. The dryer is equipped with
four (4) leveling legs, one at each corner
of the drying base.
The slotted adjustment bolts for the two
front leveling legs are located directly
behind the lower access door, and the
rear two adjustments are directly behind
the lower rear back (guard) panel.

LOCATION OF THE DRYER
Before installing the dryer, be sure the
location conforms to local codes and
ordinances.
The dryer must be installed on a sound,
level floor capable of supporting its
weight. It is recommended that carpeting
be removed from the floor area on which
the dryer is to rest.
Even
though
a
six-inch
clearance
is
acceptable, it is recommended that the
rear
of
the
dryer
be
positioned
approximately two (2) feet away from the
nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of
installation, maintenance and service.
