STEAM DRYERS
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
WARNING: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent,
straighten by using a fin comb, which is available from local air conditioning supply
houses.
90 DAYS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
WARNING: INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE
THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions,
shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should
be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete
operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit
thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions the tumbler bearings are permanently lubricated.
It is physically possible to relubricate the tumbler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not
necessary. Use Shell Alvania grease NLGI grade 2 or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as
a NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil. The tumbler bearings
used in the dryer does not have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a
grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit Part No. 882159 (includes two [2]
fittings).
