or optional shipping box) from dryer.

Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright
position at all times.
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.
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 lint coops of all dryers are supported during shipping by
a bracket. Remove this bracket before starting the dryer.

The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at
each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the
dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop).
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer
should be tilted slightly to the rear.
