3 Installation
3-1 Work Rules
The installation, operation, and maintenance of this equipment must be conducted in accordance
with all applicable work and safety codes for the installation location. This may include, but is
not limited to, OSHA, NEC, CSA, and any other local, national, and international regulations.
• Read and follow these operating instructions when installing, operating, and maintaining
this equipment. If the instructions become damaged or unreadable, you can obtain
additional copies from AEC/Whitlock.
• Only qualified personnel familiar with this equipment should work on or with this dryer.
• Work with approved tools and devices.
• Disconnect the electricity before maintenance or service. If the dryer is installed with a
power cord that can be unplugged, unplug it. If the dryer is permanently wired to a power
main, you must install a fused power disconnect to allow the disconnect to be locked in the
OFF position. Open and lock out the disconnect installed in the control enclosure.
3-2 Rigging and Placing the Dryer
Take care when rigging and placing the dryer. Figure 5 on the following page shows a suggested
safe rigging diagram. It lets you lift the dryer/hopper unit vertically for installation on the
machine throat. Adjust chain lengths at the center sling bracket before you lift the unit. Your
dryer has built-in lifting lugs.
Caution!
Use caution and observe safety rules when lifting and placing your dryer!
Note: Due to the large physical size of WD50MR dryer units, extra customer-provided support
is required to stabilize these units and to protect personnel when installing on machine
throats.
