The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached
to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove the skid from
the dryer, locate and remove the 4 bolts securing the base of
the dryer to the wooden skid. 2 are at the rear base (remove
the back panel for access) and 2 are located in the bottom of
the lint chamber. (Remove the lint drawer/door for access.)
Leveling Dryer – ADH-75
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into
its final position, slightly lower all 4 leveling legs, so that the
dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
The dryer is equipped with 4 leveling legs, 1 at each corner of
the base. 2 are located at the rear of the dryer base, and 2
are located in the lint chamber. To increase bearing life and
improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the
rear.

To level dryer, place 4-inch (10.16 cm) square metal shims
(refer to the illustration below) or other suitable material under
the base pads. It is suggested that the dryer be tilted slightly
to the rear.
