SECTION III
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installation should be performed by competent professional in accordance with local, state, and country codes. In
the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the installation must
conform to applicable Canadian Standards: Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 and Canadian
Electric Code CSA C22.1.
A. UNPACKING / SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.
NOTE: For OPL dryer models equipped with locks, the lock used is a dummy lock and no key is
supplied or needed. The lock can be turned with any key, a screwdriver, a small coin, or any
small sharp object. For coin-operated dryers, the MK-100 (master key for both the control
door and lint door) should be made accessible because it will be needed throughout various
phases in the installation of the dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the
dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the rear
base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the
two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4) leveling
legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
The tumbler of some 50 Hz model dryers is supported during shipping by a wooden block. REMOVE THIS BLOCK
BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER.
IMPORTANT: For microprocessor controller (computer) models, this wooden block must be
removed before connecting power to the dryer or irreparable damage to the tumbler
will result.
1. Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the
rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve
efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
