General Maintenance
G E N E R A L
MAINTENANCE 1. Clean lint trap daily. Remove lint before or after
each day of operation. A clean lint trap will increase
the efficiency of the dryer and the moisture-laden air
will be exhausted outside more quickly.
2. Keep basket and sweep sheets clean. Clean as
often as needed. The basket and sweep sheets are
accessible by removing the front panel of the dryer.
3. Gas burners, steam coils, electric coils. Check and
clean often.
4. Pulleys and belts. Keep clean, as oil and dirt will
shorten the life of a belt. Check periodically for
alignment. Pulley shafts must be parallel and the
grooves must be aligned. Check belt tension
periodically. Adjust tension by movement of idler
bracket. Lubricate idler pulley once every two months,
using six grams of high temperature grease. Do not
over-grease.
5. Electric motor. Keep motor clean and dry. Motors
are packed with sufficient grease for 10 years normal
service. After that, bearings and housing should be
cleaned and repacked one-third full with Chevron
grease No. SR1-2. See label on motor for further
information.
If motor overheats, check voltage and wiring. Low
voltage, inadequate wiring and loose connections are
the main cause of motor failures.
6. Adjustable leveling bolts. One at each corner
permits accurate alignment of dryer.
To adjust: Block one corner of dryer up off the floor,
loosen hex nut. With wrench, turn bolt clockwise to
raise dryer, opposite to lower. Rear bolts are outside of
dryer and front bolts are inside lint trap compartment.
