4. My belt Isn’t tracking straight.
Loosen the belt (Image 1). Center the belt on the roller. On the end of the dryer without the motor, set the gap on both sides of the
belt tensioners so that they are equal (Image 8). Between 1”1/4 and 1”3/8 on each side is ideal.

Once these have been set,
ALL
adjustments will be made from the motor side of the dryer. Center the belt on the rollers. Adjust
the tensioners to tighten the belt until the belt tracks straight. Do not over tighten the belt, the belt should only be tight enough
so it wont slip on the rollers. Grasp the belt on both sides and pull on the belt (Image 26). Once the belt tension is set, turn on
the dryer and check to see if its tracking. If the belt tracks to the left, tighten the left side adjuster. If the belt tracks to the right,
tighten the right adjuster. Making adjustments in 1/4 turn increments will ensure that you don't over adjust.

5. Do I need to vent my dryer?
No, however, if the user feels necessary a custom hood can be fabricated to the users liking. Do not vent from the center fan
fixture on the dryer.
