Preparation for Operation/Start-Up___
The following items should be checked before attempting to
operate the dryer:
• Read all “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION”
labels attached to the dryer.
• Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the
same as indicated on the dryer data label.
• Gas Models – check to ensure that the dryer is
connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer
data label.
• Gas and Electric Models – the sail switch damper
assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory
prior to shipping. However, each sail switch
adjustment must be checked to ensure that this
important safety control is functioning.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for
tightness and security.
• Gas Models – be sure that all gas shutoff valves are in
the open position.
• Check that all back guard panels and service box
covers have been replaced.
• Check the lint drawer to ensure that it is closed and
secured in place.
• Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it
moves freely.
• Steam Models – check to ensure that a clean, dry,
regulated air supply (80 psi [5.51 bar]) is on the dryer
(with air-operated damper system only).
• Steam Models – check to ensure all steam shutoff
valves are open.
• Steam Models – check steam damper operation.
• Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure
that they are all tight.
• Check vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted
to the outdoors.
Warning
If the water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the fire suppression system will
be inoperative!!
The manual ball cock shutoff valve must be located outside
of the dryer at a distance from the dryer where it is easily
accessible.

suppression system is accomplished internally in the dryer
(from the dryer controls).
Warning
Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at
all times. If the main electrical power supply to
the dryer is disconnected, the fire suppression system is
INOPERATIVE!!
