B. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT : Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.
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.
The basket (tumbler) is supported during shipping by a wooden block. REMOVE THIS BLOCK BEFORE
STARTING THE DRYER .
IMPORTANT: For microprocessor controller (computer) or (computer) models, this wooden
block must be removed before connecting power to the dryer or irreparable
damage to the basket (tumbler) will result.
The lint coops of ALL ML-55 dryers are supported during shipping by a bracket. REMOVE THIS BRACKET
BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER .
1. Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) 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.
