examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete
operational check of controls and valves. Complete
operational check of
ALL safety devices (door switches, lint
drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).
LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearings and under normal/most
conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket
(tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though this
practice
is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its
equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used in the dryer
DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the
bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting which can
be obtained elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit P/N
882159 (includes two [2] fittings).
