SECTION II
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. CLEANING
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from
various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the duct work system. The frequency of cleaning
can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent
upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this air flow. If the guidelines in this
section are met, an ADC dryer will provide may years of efficient, trouble-free, and - most importantly -
safe operation.
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS and
LIQUIDS.
NOTE: REMOVE POWER FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE IN THE MACHINE.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight
(8) operational (running) hours per day.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
EVERY THIRD or FOURTH LOAD
Clean the lint basket. A clogged lint basket will cause poor dryer performance. The lint basket is
located in the lint drawer in the base of the dryer. Pull out the lint drawer, brush the lint off the lint
basket, and remove the lint. Inspect the lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can best be determined from experience at
each location.
WEEKLY
Open the hinged panels on each side of the tumbler section and remove any lint accumulation from the
tumbler drive motor, drive shafts, drive wheels, and drive shaft bearings.
Slide the lint basket all the way out of the dryer and clean any lint accumulation off of the temperature
sensor bracket, which is located above the lint basket.
