In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION (for Electrical Connections). A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and optional shipping box) from dryer. IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times. NOTE: For OPL dryer models equipped with locks, the lock used is a dummy lock and no key is supplied or needed. The lock can be turned with any key, a screwdriver, a small coin, or any small sharp object. For coin-operated dryers, the MK-100 (master key for both the control door and lint door) should be made accessible because it will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the dryer. The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are located at the rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located at the bottom of the lint chamber. To remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door. With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4) leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear. The basket (tumbler) of some 50 Hz model dryers is supported during shipping by a wooden block. REMOVE THIS BLOCK BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER. IMPORTANT: For microprocessor controller (computer) models, this wooden block must be removed before connecting power to the dryer or irreparable damage to the basket (tumbler) will result. The lint coops of ALL AD-50 model dryers are supported during shipping by a bracket. REMOVE THIS BRACKET BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 9 1. Leveling Dryer The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear. B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. 1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on. IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only.” 2. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. 3. The dryer is for use in noncombustible locations. 4. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided as noted in this manual (refer to Fresh Air Supply Requirements in Section D). 5. Clearance provisions must be made from combustible construction as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C). 6. Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for servicing and for operation as noted in this manual (refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C). 7. Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E). 8. Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E). IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be necessary. 9. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. 10. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up. 10 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top; 18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam dryers, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed if desired. NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door. X = 12-inch (30.48 cm) minimum, 24-inches (60.96 cm) is suggested for ease of maintenance. * 1-inch (2.54 cm) maximum for electric dryers. ** 18-inch (45.72 cm) minimum for steam dryers. NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16-inch (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be made for opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration above for details. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 11 D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of replenished air in the amount of 600 cfm (17 cmm) is necessary for each dryer. An unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1 square foot (0.09 square meters) is required for each dryer. This area must be enlarged if louvers or registers cover the opening. It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to the dryers. For example, for a bank of eight (8) dryers, a total make-up opening of 8 square feet (0.74 square meters) is required. Two (2) openings measuring 2 feet by 2 feet (0.61 meters by 0.61 meters), 4 square feet (0.37 square meters) are acceptable. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas. IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components. IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located near ductwork exhaust outlets. If make-up air opening(s) are too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes may be drawn back into the dryer area through these openings. NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY. 12 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. The design of the flue system shall be such that any condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or discharged. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate (single) exhaust duct for each dryer. CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. The shape of the ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° or 45° angles instead. The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Additionally, inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning. IMPORTANT: When connecting ductwork to the dryer exhaust duct, be sure that when screws are used they DO NOT restrict the operation (both opening and closing) of the damper. NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening. To protect the outside end of horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (i.e., roof or ground level). IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork. IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 in WC (0.74 mb). 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 13 NOTE: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system except where necessary to maintain exhaust back pressure (in the exhaust duct) between zero and 0.3 inch water column. Where employed, booster fans must not activate the dryer airflow proving switch (sail switch) when the dryer is not in operation. SINGLE DRYER VENTING HORIZONTAL VENTING When horizontal single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used, the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 30 feet (9.14 meters) refer to Illus. A below. This calculation of 30 feet (9.14 meters) compensates or allows for the use of a maximum of only one (1) elbow (which is the outside outlet protection). Illus. A IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information. 14 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 VERTICAL VENTING For single vertical venting, a minimum duct size of 10-inches (25.4 cm) must be used (refer to Illus. B below), the ductwork from the dryer to the outside outlet cannot exceed 60 feet (18.29 meters), refer to Illus. B below. This calculation compensates for the use of a maximum of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating the 180° (turned downward) outside outlet. Illus. B If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross section area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 15 MULTIPLE DRYER (COMMON) VENTING If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled into a common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a back draft damper. The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of the airflow. The main common duct may be any shape so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The main duct should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is added (refer to Illus. C for Horizontal Venting and Illus. D for Vertical Venting). IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers maximum should be connected to one (1) main common duct with a vertical run. NOTE: Distance between dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a minimum of 34-1/4” (86.9 cm) dryer width. Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at rear area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels or guards. The illustrations on page 17 show the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is unusually long. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information. Refer to the illustrations on page 17 for examples of Multiple Dryer Horizontal Venting and Vertical Venting. 16 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 HORIZONTAL VENTING Illus. C VERTICAL VENTING Illus.

It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance BTUs being supplied. Installer within Australia – refer to AS/NZS5601.1 for guidance on gas supply pipe sizing required for this appliance installation. The dryer is provided with a 1/2-inch N.P.T. inlet pipe connection located at the right side of the base of the dryer. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1/2-inch N.P.T. For ease in servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve. 28 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-operated appliances on the same line, etc. Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas supplier. NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent pressure, which will result in erratic operation of the burner ignition system. Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure. Refer to the illustrations on the previous page. NOTE: A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) for liquid propane (L.P.) dryers is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation. A 1/8-inch N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately upstream of each dryer. IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be used. IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent works well). WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!! ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code Specifications ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional. It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance BTUs being supplied. IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 29 H. STEAM INFORMATION It is your responsibility to have ALL steam plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. Care must be exercised when leveling steam dryers into final position. After leveling the dryer, check the downward pitch of the heat exchanger from front to rear with a level. Likewise, check the downward pitch of the return condensate manifold toward its outlet part. Absence of these downward pitches will result in probable water hammer and premature heat exchanger fracture and leakage. The presence of condensate in the steam will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger failure. The steam supply connection must be taken from the top of a well-dripped steam main. If the supply to the dryer exceeds 20 feet (6.1 meters), it should be dripped just before the control valve with a proper trap and dirt pocket. IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in component failure, which will VOID THE WARRANTY. NOTE: The ADS-50 is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an external supply of air (80 PSI +/- 10 PSI [5.51 bars +/- 0.68 bars]). 1. Steam Coil PH Level The normal PH level for copper type steam coils must be maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type steam coils the PH level must be maintained between a value of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid attack of the steam coils. IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper PH level will VOID THE WARRANTY. 2. Steam Requirements OPERATING STEAM PRESSURE Maximum 125 psig* Heat Input (Normal Load) 862 kPa 4.1 Bhp Consumption (Approximate) @ 125 PSI 142 lb/hr 64.4 kg/hr Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents * The minimum operating pressure for optimum results is 100 psig (689.47 kPa). 3. Installation Instructions To ensure an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure that the steam lines and steam return lines are sized and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam lines and steam return lines or improper steam plumbing will result in poor performance and can cause component failure. Clean, dry steam must be provided to the dryer. IMPORTANT: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet steam will VOID THE WARRANTY. 30 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 a. The presence of condensate in the steam supply will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger (steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the main supply line must be made with a minimum 10-inch (25.4 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining towards the dryer. b. The steam supply piping to the dryer must include a 12-inch (30.48 cm) rise along with a drip trap and check valve. This will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil. c. Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and return mains. d. Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply line, return line, and drip trap return line. This will allow the dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the return main if the dryer needs maintenance work. e. Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam coil as close to the coil as possible. 1) A trap with a capacity of 430 pounds (195 kg) of condensate per hour at 125 PSI (8.62 bars) is needed for each unit. f. The supply line and the return line should be insulated. This will save energy and provide for the safety of the operator and maintenance personnel. g. Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil damage. ALL horizontal runs of steam supply piping should be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every foot back towards the steam supply header causing the condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam. IMPORTANT: Flexible hose/coupling must be used. Coil failure due to hard plumbing connections will VOID THE WARRANTY. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 31 4. Steam Damper Air System Connections The ADS-50 is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an external supply of compressed air. The air connection is made to the steam damper solenoid valve, which is located at the rear inner top area of the dryer just in front of the electric service relay box. a. Air Requirements There is no air requirement for dryers with the Electromechanical Steam Damper Option. COM PRESSED AIR S UPPLY A IR P RESSURE Normal 80 PSI 5.51 bars Minimum Supply Maximum Supply 70 PSI 90 PSI 4.82 bars 6.20 bars Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents b. Air Connection Air connection to system --- 1/8-inch N.P.T. c. Air Regulation No air regulator or filtration is provided with the dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 PSI (5.51 bars) must be provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge arrangement be added to the compressed air line just before the dryer connection. This is necessary to ensure that correct and clean air pressure is achieved. 32 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 5. Steam Damper System Operation The steam damper, as shown in the illustration below, allows the coil to stay constantly charged eliminating repeated expansion and contraction. When the damper is opened, the air immediately passes through the already hot coil, providing instant heat to start the drying process. When the damper is closed, ambient air is drawn directly into the basket (tumbler), allowing a rapid cool down. Diagram 1 – shows the damper in the heating (open) mode, allowing heat into the basket (tumbler). Diagram 2 – shows the damper in the cool down (closed) mode, pulling ambient air directly into the basket (tumbler) without passing through the coils. NOTE: With the dryer off or with no air supply, the steam damper is in the cool down mode as shown in Diagram 2. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 33 6. Steam Damper Air Piston (Flow Control) Operation Adjustment Damper operation was tested and adjusted prior to shipping at 80 PSI (5.51 bars). If damper air adjustment is necessary, locate the flow control valve and make the necessary adjustments as noted below. 34 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 I. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer: 1. Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer. 2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label that is affixed to either the back side of the upper control door or left side panel/wall area behind the control door. 3. GAS MODELS – check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label. 4. GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS – the sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to assure that this important safety control is functioning. 5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness. 6. GAS MODELS – be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position. 7. Check ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced. 8. Make sure the lint coop support bracket has been removed. 9. Check the lint door to assure that it is closed and secured in place. IMPORTANT: If during installation the lint door safety chain was disconnected, it must be reconnected or personal injury may result. 10. Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely. 11. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security. 12. STEAM MODELS – check to ensure that a clean, dry, regulated air supply (80 PSI [5.51 bars]) is on the dryer (with air operated DAMPER SYSTEM ONLY). 13. STEAM MODELS – check to ensure ALL steam shutoff valves are open. 14. STEAM MODELS – check steam damper operation. 15. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure that they are ALL tight. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 35 J. PREOPERATIONAL TEST ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation) conditions. Installer must instruct the user on how to correctly operate the dryer before leaving. 1. Turn on electrical power to the dryer. 2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer. 3. GAS MODELS ONLY a. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the lines. NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open. NOTE: Gas models are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal diagnostics. If ignition is not established after one (1) time, the heat circuit in the DSI module will lockout until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer. b. A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent. NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body): Natural Gas --------------------- 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ---- 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column. IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each dryer. 4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits: a. Door Switch(es) b. Hi-Limit Thermostats c. Cycling Thermostat d. GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS ONLY – Sail Switch NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint door while heating circuit (gas burner/electric oven) is active (on). The heating unit should shut off within a few seconds. If not, make necessary adjustments to the sail switch. 36 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls. NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the manual supplied with the dryer. 6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly. BASKET COATING The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove this coating. 7. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the blower wheel (impellor/fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply to the dryer. IMPORTANT: If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this will not only drastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure. K.

CLEANING A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble-free, and most importantly, safe operation. WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8) operational (running) hours per day. IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up. SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint screen is located behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the lint door, brush the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn. NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best be determined from experience at each location. WEEKLY Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket) area. WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER. STEAM DRYERS Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment. 44 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 WARNING: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by using a fin comb, which is available from local air conditioning supply houses. 90 DAYS Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting. WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK 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 cabinet(s), 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 setscrews), and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff 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, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats). C. LUBRICATION The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to re-lubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so, even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The basket (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 ADC by ordering kit Part No. 882159, which includes two (2) grease fittings. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 45 SECTION VII TROUBLESHOOTING IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY AND THE GAS SUPPLY OR THE STEAM SUPPLY BEFORE ANY COVERS OR GUARDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE MACHINE TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR CLEANING, ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, OR TESTING OF ANY EQUIPMENT PER OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) STANDARDS. The information provided will help isolate the most probable component(s) associated with the difficulty described. The experienced technician realizes, however, that a loose connection or broken/shorted wire may be at fault where electrical components are concerned...and not necessarily the suspected component itself. Electrical parts should always be checked for failure before being returned to the factory. The information provided should not be misconstrued as a handbook for use by an untrained person making repairs. IMPORTANT: When replacing blown fuses, the replacement must be of the exact rating as the fuse being replaced. WARNING: ALL SERVICE AND TROUBLESHOOTING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL OR SERVICE AGENCY.

Both the dwell (stop) time and basket (tumbler) spin time are adjustable by mode selection switches located on the electronic timer (as noted in the illustration below). TIMING LEGEND SPIN TIME Adjustment Position Number Counterclockwise - Clockwise Time in Seconds* 30 - 150 DWELL (STOP) TIME Adjustment Position Number Counterclockwise - Clockwise Time in Seconds* 5 - 10 * Values shown are +/- 1-second. 56 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 SECTION X PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS 1. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Board a. Upon completing installation of the replacement microprocessor controller (computer) board, reestablish power to the dryer. b. Start the drying cycle. c. Verify that the motor(s) and the heat indicator dots, in the microprocessor controller (computer) light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display are on. (Refer to the illustration below.) d. Verify that motor(s), heat, and door indicator lights on the back side of the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit. (Refer to the illustration below.) 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 57 e. Open main door. The dryer must stop and ALL output indicator lights on the back side of the microprocessor controller (computer) board must go out. (Refer to the illustration on the previous page.) f. Try to restart the dryer with the main door open. g. The microprocessor controller (computer) board’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display must read “DOOR.” h. Close the main door and restart the dryer. i. Functional check of microprocessor controller (computer) board is complete. 2. For Models With Johnson Controls Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (G760) Theory Of Operation: Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the Direct Spark Ignition DSI module to keep the gas valve open...as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds) the DSI module will “LOCKOUT” (L.E.D. flashes). A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation. No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred. 58 American Dryer Corp. 113066 - 16 3. For Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) System Models Manufactured With ADC Module Part No. 880815 a. Upon completing installation of the replacement DSI module, reestablish power to the dryer. b. Starting the drying cycle. c. The ignition DSI module’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) indicator will light “red” for up to approximately 1.5-seconds (prepurge time). d. The module’s indicator light will then turn “green.” The gas valve will be energized and the ignitor probe will spark for approximately 8-seconds. The burner flame should now be established. e. With the burner flame on, remove the flame sensor wire from the FS terminal of the DSI module. f. The burner flame must shut off and the ignition module must lockout with the DSI module’s indicator light “red.” g. Stop the drying cycle, with the flame sensor wire still removed, restart the drying cycle. h. The ignition module must proceed through the prepurge, with the indicator light “red,” the ignition trial time of approximately 8-seconds, with the indicator light “green,” and then proceed to lockout with the indicator light “red.” i. Functional check of the DSI module is complete. 1) Replace the flame sensor wire from the FS terminal to the DSI module. 113066 - 16 www.adclaundry.com 59 SECTION XI BURNER AND BASKET (TUMBLER)/LINT CHAMBER MANUAL RESET HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT MANUAL RESET HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR MECHANICAL METER, TIMER OR PHASE 5 WITHOUT HEAT FAULT (GAS MODELS ONLY) This dryer was manufactured with a burner manual reset hi-limit and basket (tumbler)/lint chamber hi-limit thermostat. If either burner manual reset hi-limit thermostat is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, or during the cycle, the dryer will not recognize the open state of the burner hi-limit thermostat and will start or continue through the drying cycle with no heat. Manual reset hi-limit thermostat must be reset manually. This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow, or improper burner oven operation. The location of the manual reset hi-limit switch is on the right side of the burner box. IMPORTANT This dryer is equipped with a burner hi-limit and tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit thermostat which must be reset manually. WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.
