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
tumbler (basket). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place, yet made accessible
because some 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 factory.
IMPORTANT: For shipping purposes, the 12” (30.48 cm) exhaust adapter is shipped inside one of
the dryer’s tumblers (baskets). This exhaust adapter should either be left inside the
tumbler (basket) or removed and put in a safe place, and must be installed once the
dryer is in place prior to making any exhaust duct connections.
The dryer can be moved to it’s final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. With the skid
removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into it’s 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. The legs can be adjusted by either tilting ... and properly supporting the
dryer, and adjusting from underneath with an open end wrench (or adjustable wrench). Or, by removing the rear
lower back panel and/or front lower service panel and adjusting the leveling leg with a 1/4” socket.
IMPORTANT: When tilting the dryer to adjust the leveling legs, be sure to properly support the
bottom of the dryer with a block of wood or similar object. Failure to do so can
cause personal injury!
