a. Reassembly Instructions For Tilting Gas Dryers:
Lift the basket (tumbler) section onto the base.
1) Forward tilt dryers have two (2) tilting pistons in the rear of the base. On the top of each piston is
a clevis block. Use the four (4) 1/2” x 1-1/8” long hex head bolts with lock washers to secure each
piston clevis block to the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section. (Refer to [top] View 1 on the
previous page.)
2) The flexible gas hose union is disconnected when the dryer is shipped in two (2) pieces. The
flexible gas hoses are located in the right side of the base. Insert the flexible hoses with the union
half up through the hole on the bottom of the basket (tumbler) section and retighten the union. The
flex hoses must not be kinked. (Refer to [bottom] View 2 on the previous page.)
3) There are two (2) electrical reconnections:
a) A plug and cable is located in the right side of the base. This must be lifted up and reconnected
into the mating socket located at the bottom of the right basket (tumbler) section.
b) The basket (tumbler) section power cable must be lifted up from the base and reconnected into
the junction box next to the basket (tumbler) drive motor in the left side of the basket (tumbler)
section.
Make sure both reconnected cables have enough slack in them to allow the dryer to tilt freely in
both directions.
4) Reattach the tilt guard panels:
a) Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the right side and left side tilt guards.
b) Use 1/4” self-tapping screws to secure the rear tilt guards on the rear of the base. Also secure
both outside edges of the rear tilt guard to each side guard using sheet metal screws.
5) Secure the 24-inch (60.96 cm) diameter exhaust duct transition piece to the dryer’s rectangular
exhaust duct with the 1/4-20 self-tapping screws supplied with the dryer. The exhaust duct exits
from the rear of the base.
6) On dryers equipped with an automatic (piston operated) load door, reconnect the two (2) poly-flo
air lines that run from the base up to the door pistons.
