For major overhaul position the machine to obtain lifting access e.g.
fork lift truck.
Ambient temperatures higher than 46
_
C (115
_
F) must be avoided as
well as areas of high humidity.
Consider also the environment surrounding or near the dryer. The area
selected for the location of the dryer should be free of dust, chemicals,
metal filings, paint fumes and overspray.
Hard surfaces may reflect noise with an apparent increase in the
decibel level. When sound transmission is important, a sheet of rubber
or cork can be installed beneath the machine to reduce noise. Flexible
piping may be required.
It is recommended that provision be made for lifting heavy components
during major overhaul. Use only lifting points provided.
Minimum space in front of control panel door as required by National
or Local codes must be maintained.
The dryer can be installed on any level floor capable of supporting it.
A dry, well ventilated area where the atmosphere is as clean as
possible is recommended.
Sufficient space all around and above the dryer must be allowed, to
enable the effective removal of the cooling air which, in turn, will reduce
the risk of recirculating the cooling air back through the dryer.
CAUTION
A minimum of 1 m (3ft) all round the dryer is recommended. If
headroom is restricted, then the exhaust should be ducted or
deflected away from the machine.
