Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer-furnished exhaust duct work system from dryer's internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION and VENTILATION AIR.
WARNING: INSPECT and REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION WHICH CAN CAUSE
THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinets, avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION and EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing set screws), nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shut-off valves,
orifices, and grounding connections). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously
frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of
controls and valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch,
sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, idler bearing, and under normal or most conditions the tumbler bearings are permanently
lubricated. It is physically possible to re-lubricate the tumbler bearings if you choose to do so even though this
practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #3 or its equivalent. The tumbler bearings used in the dryer do not
have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting which can be
obtained elsewhere, or from the manufacturer by ordering kit Part No. 882159, which includes two (2) fittings.
