STEAM DRYERS
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
WARNING:
When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten
by using a fin comb, which is available from local air conditioning supply houses.
90 DAYS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING:
DO NOT
OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR.
WARNING:
INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE
THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE:
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE:
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections
(unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts
should be
examined. Cracked or seriously frayed
belts
should be
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and
valves. Complete operational check of
ALL
safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch,
burner, and hi-limit thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearings...and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even
though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used
in the dryer
DO NOT
have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a
grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere, or from
ADC
by ordering kit Part No. 882159, which includes
two (2) fittings.
