Maintenance—General
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 one-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.
6. STEAM HEATING UNITS. Keep steam coils clean. Check periodically and
clean often, as required. Remove lint and dirt build-up from fins. Dirty fins
decrease the efficiency of steam heated units.
7. GAS BURNERS. Keep burners clean. Check periodically and clean often.
8. EXHAUST SYSTEM. Periodically check and clean.
9. CLEAN OUT PANEL. (Energy Saver Gas Models) Remove this panel,
located on the heating unit, and clean the inside area of lint and dirt on a regular
basis.
10. DRYER AREA. Keep dryer area clean and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
11. MAKE-UP AIR. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (make-up) air and
ventilating air.
12. GAS PRESSURE. Periodically check gas pressure.
13. DRYER VOLTAGE. Periodically check dryer voltage per dryer Rating Plate.
