SECTION III
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installation
should be
performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, the installation
must conform
to applicable AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS:
ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code)
or
ANSI/NFPA NO.70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code)
A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT
: Dryer
must be
transported and handled in an upright position at all times.
NOTE
: For OPL dryer models equipped with locks, the lock used is a dummy lock and no key is
supplied or needed. The lock can be turned with any key, a screwdriver, a small coin, or any
small sharp object. For coin-operated dryers, the MK-100 (master key for both the Control
Door and Lint Door)
should be
made accessible because it will be needed throughout various
phases in the installation of the dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To un-skid
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.
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer
should be
tilted slightly to the rear.
1. Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one 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.
