Shimming the Basket and Spider Assembly
This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the
basket or the spider assembly on any dryer. The alignment of these
two parts is crucial in assuring a true running basket.
A.
Align the basket as per instructions on the
previous page.
B .
Rotate the basket to determine where the most out-
of-round point is (where the basket scrapes or
comes closest to scraping the sweep sheet).
C.
Mark this position and the nearest rib to this
position. If it is between two ribs, both ribs may
need to be shimmed.
D .
Remove the basket from the dryer (do not loosen
the alignment bolts).
E.
With the basket on the floor (spider up), loosen the
cap screws and tie rod nuts enough to insert one or
two shims between the spider leg and the basket at
the marked position. With shims in place, tighten
the screws and nuts.
F .
Install spider and basket assembly and check
again.
G.
If basket is still out-of-round, start at
Step B
and
repeat procedure.
H
.
When shimming is completed, re-align basket.
