J. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1. Read
ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the data label. In the case of
208 VAC or 230/240 VAC, the supply voltage must match the electric service
exactly.
3. GAS MODELS – Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the data
label.
4. GAS MODELS – Be sure that
ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
5. GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS – The sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this
important safety control is functioning. (Refer to Sail Switch Adjustment on
page 30.)
6. Be sure
ALL back panels (guards) and electric box covers have been replaced.
7. Check
ALL service doors to ensure that they are closed and secure.
8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
10. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.
11. STEAM MODELS – Check to ensure air supply (80 psi [5.51 bar]) is connected to the dryers.
12. STEAM MODELS – Check to ensure
ALL steam shutoff valves are open.
13. STEAM MODELS – Check steam damper operation.
14. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure they are
ALL tight.
K. PREOPERATIONAL TEST
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
3. Gas Dryers
a. Open
ALL shutoff valves.
b. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air
to be purged from the lines.
