IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be
regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each
dryer.
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to ensure that the timing is correct and
that the temperatures are set properly.
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., door switches, hi-limit thermostats,
sail switches, and basket [tumbler] safety thermostats, etc.).
NOTE: To check for proper sail switch operation, open the main door and while holding main door
switch plunger in, start the dryer. The dryer should start but the heat circuit should not be
activated (on). If the heat (burner) does activate, shut the dryer off and make the necessary
adjustments.
6. Each basket (tumbler) should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further
adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove
this coating.
7. Computer Programs and Selections
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly
used program (parameter) selections. If microprocessor controller (computer) program changes are required,
refer to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
8. On models manufactured for 3-phase (3ø) electrical input voltage, check the electrical service phase sequence.
While the dryer is operating, check to see if the baskets (tumblers) are rotating in the clockwise (CW)
direction (when viewed from the front of the dryer). If the baskets (tumblers) rotate counterclockwise
(CCW), the phasing is incorrect. Reverse the two (2) leads at connection L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply
of the dryer.
J. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed:
1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Discontinue the heat supply:
GAS MODELS - discontinue the gas supply.
SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve.
