TUMBLER ALIGNMENT:
Proper alignment is achieved by making the gap
between the tumbler and openings in the front and
rear bulkheads equal on all sides.
The front to bulkhead may be checked for accuracy
by using a thickness gauge. The rear gap is not
accessible. Marking the position of the rear wheel
brackets before removing the brackets will help in
replacing the tumbler back into it’s original position
when the wheel brackets are reinstalled.
Adjust the tumbler position by loosening the three
bolts and forcing the wheel assembly toward the
center of the dryer to raise the tumbler and to move
it away from the side. A large screwdriver can
provide the necessary leverage. Adjustment of the
front of the tumbler is made by equalizing the gap
on the top, bottom, left and right by moving the wheel
assemblies.
EXAMPLES:
Below, both wheel assemblies must be moved to
the right in order to move the tumbler right. The left
wheel assembly must move a little more than the
right in order to lift the tumbler.
Below, both wheel assemblies are adjusted correct
and spacing is even on all sides.
All wheel assemblies are mounted on slots to allow
for alignment of the tumbler. After one or more wheel
assemblies are replaced, the tumbler must be
realigned.
