DRYER SHUTDOWN

To shutdown the dryer, first CLOSE

the FUEL SUPPLY VALVE at the

tank or valve along the fuel line. If

the burner is operating, let the dryer

run out of fuel, and it will shutdown

automatically due to loss of flame.

CLOSE the FUEL VALVE at the

dryer, and press the DRYER

POWER STOP button. Turn OFF

tially start all dryer components in

their proper order. If any switches

are not in their correct position for

staged batch operation, the dryer

will indicate improper switch posi-

tion, and will not start until the

switches are in the proper position.

After starting, all batch timers will

time down in sequence. When the

unload cycle is complete the tim-

ers will automatically reset to their

original settings, and start the dry

timer again.

To check the staged batch opera-

tion, turn the CONTROL POWER

switch to the ON position. Press the

RESET button, OPEN the main

FUEL SUPPLY VALVE at the tank
