Installation Procedures _______________
Installation should be performed by competent technicians
in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of
these codes, the installation must conform to applicable
American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION
(National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the
installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards:
CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-
M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation
and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 &

Unpacking/Setting Up _________________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and
optional shipping box) from dryer.
NOTE:
The access keys for the service doors are included
in the information packet shipped in the tumbler. These
keys should be removed and put in a safe place yet made
accessible because some will be needed throughout
various phases in the installation of the dryer.
Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate
only. The coin box lock is not included and must be purchased
elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from
the manufacturer.
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 bolts securing the base of the
dryer to the wooden skid. Two are at the rear of the base, and
two are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed,
slide the dryer off the skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into
its final position, slightly lower all four leveling legs, so that
the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The
dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each corner
of the dryer base. The hex head adjustment bolts for the two
front leveling legs are located directly behind the lower access
door, and the rear two adjustments are directly behind the
lower rear back (guard) panel.
