A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
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 base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To
remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door. Once the bolts are removed, slide
the dryer off the skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower
ALL four (4)
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. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base, and two
(2) are located in the lint chamber.
