CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff
valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete
operational check of
ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit
thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearings and under normal or most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are
permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do
so even though this practice
is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket
(tumbler) bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing
for the addition of a grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere, or from the manufacturer by ordering kit
P/N 882159 (which includes two [2] fittings).
