DRYER PRE START CHECKS

TERING ROLL SPEED should in-

crease. Turning either knob coun-

terclockwise will decrease the

speed. Make sure the drive chain

tension is properly adjusted and all

sections of the metering rolls ro-

tate. Turn the UNLOAD switch OFF

after these checks are complete.

The bottom auger will continue to

run for 30 seconds after the switch

is turned OFF to allow for cleanout.

The dryer fan and heater controls featuring: 1-pressure regulator, 2-low-fire

control valve, 3-high pressure solenoid, 4-low pressure solenoid, 5-high-

low fire thermostat (assembly includes thermometer), 6-fuel supply line, 7-

LP solenoid or supply ball valve(NG) and 8-air pressure switch.

START the fan, and then turn the

HEATER switch to ON. Turn ON the

fuel supply, and the burner should

BURNER TEST FIRE

BURNER SAFETY

To check the burner safety function,

first make sure the main GAS

VALVE is OFF. Turn the FAN switch

ON and allow the fan to start. Then,

turn the HEATER switch ON. The

dryer will shut down after 20 seconds.

The safety message, "Burner 1 warn-

ing flame not detected" will appear.

Bump the FAN switch and observe

the fan rotation. The fan should run

counterclockwise. Sometimes on

three phase models all motors will

run backwards. They can easily be

reversed by interchanging the two

of three power supply wires. Re-

verse the two outside wires, L1 and

L3, and leave the middle one in the

same position.

Note: If the dryer is empty, the

burner will not operate. The fans

cannot create enough static pres-

sure to engage the air switch. You

will receive a loss of airflow message.

FAN SWITCH

ignite after a short purge delay of ap-

proximately 10 seconds. Gas pres-

sure should be shown on the gauge.

At this time adjust the BURNER

HIGH-LOW FIRE THERMOSTAT to

200

°

F, causing the burner to oper-

ate on high-fire. The thermostat is

located on the front left side of the

dryer. Observe the gas pressure on

gauge, and turn the thermostat to

its MINIMUM SETTING, causing the

burner to cycle into low-fire. As the

burner thermostat is turned down

the gas pressure should also show

a noticeable drop, indicating that the

high-fire solenoid is closed and the

burner is being supplied with less

gas through the low-fire control

valve. At this time set the high-

fire and low-fire pressure settings.

Use the PRESSURE REGULATOR

for high-fire and the BALL VALVE

for low-fire. The thermostat should

cycle between high and low, ap-

proximately 4 to 5 times per minute.

Approximate settings should be:

LP Gas

High-Fire 6-15 lbs.

Low-Fire 2-6 lbs.

Natural Gas

High-Fire 6-10 lbs.

Low-Fire 1-3 lbs.

If the burner remains on high-

fire and does not cycle, INCREASE

the regulator setting on the propane

models, or the supply valve on the

natural gas models in order to reach

the thermostat setting. If the

burner remains in low-fire and does

not cycle, slightly DECREASE gas
