MAINTENANCE
1 . CLEAN LINT TRAP DAILY. Remove lint before
starting day’s operation. A clean lint trap will
increase the efficiency of the dryer, as the moisture-
laden air will be exhausted more quickly.
2 . CLEAN BASKET AND SWEEP SHEETS. Clean
periodically and/or as often as required. The basket
and sweep sheets are easily accessible by removing
the front panel of the dryer.
3 . GEAR REDUCER. Maintain the correct oil level.
See separate page on Gear Reducer Operation and
Maintenance, for detailed information.
4 . PULLEYS AND BELTS. Keep belts clean. Oil and
dirt will shorten the useful life of the belt. Never
allow a belt to run against the belt guard. Check
periodically for alignment. Pulley shafts must be
parallel and the grooves must be aligned. Check
and re-tighten pulley set screws periodically. Check
belt tension periodically. Lower motor to increase
tension by adjusting the nuts fastening the motor
plate to the rod connected to the Gear Reducer.
5 . ELECTRIC MOTORS. Keep motors clean and
dry. Motors having ball bearings are packed with
sufficient grease for approximately five years of
normal operation. After five years, the bearings and
housing should be cleaned thoroughly. Repack each
bearing and the cavity in back of the bearing on-
third full with Chevron Grease No. SR1-2.
Motors having wool packed sleeve bearings are
oiled at the factory for one year of normal
operation. After one year, add annually one-half
teaspoon of electric motor oil or S.A.E.#10 to each
bearing. For 24 hour per day operation, add one
teaspoon of oil annually.
If motors overheat, check voltage and wiring. Low
voltage, inadequate wiring, and loose connections
are the main cause of motor failure.
