H. 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 dryer data label located in
the front top console area as shown in the illustration on
page 9. In the case of 208 VAC or 230 VAC
THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE MUST MATCH THE ELECTRIC SERVICE EXACTLY.
3. Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.
4. The sail switch damper assembly was installed and pre-adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However,
each sail switch adjustment must be checked to assure that this important safety control is functioning.
5. Be sure that
ALL gas shut-off valves are in the open position.
6. Be sure
ALL back panels (guards) and electric box covers have been replaced.
7. Check
ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secured in place.
8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.
NOTE: LINT DRAWER MUST BE ALL THE WAY IN PLACE TO ACTIVATE THE
SAFETY SWITCH OTHERWISE THE DRYER WILL NOT START.
9. Rotate the tumbler (basket/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
10. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.
11. Check tumbler bearing set screws to insure they are ALL tight.
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
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. Make sure the main door is closed and the lint drawer is securely in place.
3. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
4. Check to insure that the tumbler (basket) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the
direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to insure that the impellor (fan) rotates in the clockwise (CW)
direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2)
of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
