MAINTENANCE
FILTRATION SYSTEM
General use of the dryer will cause lint and debris
from garments and the area surrounding the
dryer to collect inside the internal air chambers.
The filter on the side of the dryer is designed to
be easily accessed so the filter can be cleaned.
Wash with mild soap and water. Use an air hose
or allow to air dry. Filter should be completely
dry before reinstalling into the dryer.
BELT TRACKING
The self-tracking system is designed to keep
the belt centered on the front and rear pulley.
However, sometimes the belt may come off-
center. To put the belt back on center use a 7/16”
socket wrench on the bolt located on top of the
dryer arm. This will tilt that side of the pulley up
or down.
GEARS AND CHAINS
Chains can loosen over time and should be
inspected, adjusted and lubricated whenever
necessary.
Workhorse Products recommends performing these routine maintenances every three to six
months to maintain optimum performance of your dryer.
VENTILATION
The ventilation system is capable of being adjusted to control the hot airflow. The hot airflow interacts
with the heating panels and affects how the garments are cured. The two major settings are open and
closed, everything in-between is a variation of either open or closed.
The ventilation port is located next to the control box. This port can be connected to a standard
6” HVAC duct line vented to the outside of the building. For longer duct lines to the outside of the
building; or if local building codes require roof top ventilation, inline duct boosters may be used.
It is recommended that the ventilation system duct line be professionally installed in compliance with
all local building codes to ensure the safety of all shop personnel.
VENTILATION OPEN
When the ventilation is open more hot air
is released, which means less hot air in the
chamber. This type of airflow is normally used
for water-based and discharge inks because
the evaporative chemicals from the garments
need to be released.
VENTILATION CLOSED
When the ventilation is closed less hot air is
released, which means more hot air in the
chamber. The hot air in the chamber helps
the dryer reach a specific temperature. More
hot air also means that the panels run less,
making it more cost effective. This is more
like convection type heat and is typically used
for standard plastisol inks.
