3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of
each dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap):
Natural Gas ..........................3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ....10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be
regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each
dryer.
b. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Dryer Models
1) Spin and stop times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed into
the microprocessor controller (computer) for a 3 minute forward and 2 minute reverse spin time and
a 5-second dwell (stop) time.
2) Spin and stop times are adjustable in the Manual (timed) Mode.
BASKET COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth
material with a solution of water and non flammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler)
to remove this coating.
