A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
NOTE: The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in the
basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place, yet made
accessible because they will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the
dryer.
Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and
must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the ADC Parts Department at
(508) 678-9000.
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
at the rear of the base and two (2) are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer off of the
skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL the 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 (1) at each corner of the dryer base.
