Maintenance—General
CLEAN LINT TRAP DAILY. Remove lint before starting day’s operation. A clean lint trap will increase
the efficiency of the dryer, as the moisture-laden air will be exhausted more quickly.
DRYER AREA. Keep dryer area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
SLIDING DOORS. Check track for foreign objects.
UNITS HEATED BY STEAM. Keep steam coils clean. Check periodically and clean often, as required.
Remove lint and dirt build-up from fins. Dirty fins decrease the efficiency of units heated by steam.
GAS BURNERS. Keep burners clean. Check periodically and clean often.
AIR PRESSURE. Check airlines for water. Check/service any air regulator/filter per manufactures
information. May need to do this check more often, depending on air quality.
FIRE DECTECTION AND SUPPRESSION SYSTEM (FDS). Check FDS to make sure the system is
working properly. Refer to FDS manuals for details.
CLEAN BASKET AND SWEEP SHEETS. Clean periodically and/or as often as required. The basket and
sweep sheets are easily accessible by removing the front panel of the dryer.
EXHAUST SYSTEM. Check and clean.
GEAR MOTORS. Check oil level. See separate information on gear motor for maintenance
GEAR REDUCER. Maintain the correct oil level. See separate page on gear reducer operation and
maintenance, for detailed information.
PULLEYS AND BELTS. Keep belts clean. Oil and dirt will shorten the useful life of the belt. Never allow a
belt to run against the belt guard. Check periodically for alignment. Pulley shafts must be parallel and the
grooves must be aligned. Check and re-tighten pulley set screws periodically. Check belt tension periodi-
cally. Lower motor to increase tension by adjusting the nuts fastening the motor plate to the rod con-
nected to the gear reducer.
MAKE-UP AIR. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (make-up) air and ventilating air. Check ducting
for obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE. Check gas pressure.
DRYER VOLTAGE. Check dryer voltage per dryer Rating Plate.
AIR SWITCH. Check air switch alignment. Some models do not have air switches.
ELECTRIC MOTORS. Keep motors clean and dry.
LOADING DOOR GASKET. Check for tears, rips, gashes, etc. Replace if damaged.
