SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY
AND THE GAS SUPPLY BEFORE ANY COVERS OR GUARDS ARE
REMOVED FROM THE DRYER TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR
CLEANING, ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, OR, TESTING OF ANY
EQUIPMENT PER OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
STANDARDS.
IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6
months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.
A. CLEANING
A program or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various
areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined
from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The
accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide
many years of efficient, trouble-free, and most importantly safe operation.
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD. KEEP AREA AROUND DRYER CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE
VAPORS OR LIQUIDS.
