SECTION I  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
A. RECEIVING and HANDLING  
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners and top cover (or  
optional box) as a means of preventing damage in transit. Upon delivery, the dryer and packaging, and wooden  
skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any damage whatsoever is noticed, inspect further  
before delivering carrier leaves.  
Dryers damaged in shipment.  
1. ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.  
2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker's receipt should be so noted.  
3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers which were not damaged in a  
damaged shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the number refused must be noted  
on the receipt.  
4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call the  
delivering carrier's freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight company considers this  
concealed damage. This type of freight claim is very difficult to get paid and becomes extremely difficult  
when more than a day or two passes after the freight was delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight  
claims. Dryer or parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under warranty.  
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must be filed at the receiving end.  
ADC assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.  
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at (508) 678-9000.  
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at all times.  
B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk  
of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.  
WARNING: The dryer must never be operated with any of the back guards, outer tops, or  
service panels removed. PERSONALINJURYor FIRE COULD RESULT.

SECTION III  
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES  
Installation should be performed by qualified professionals in accordance with local and state codes. In the  
absence of these codes, installation must conform to applicable AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS:  
ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION (NATIONAL FUEL CODE)  
or  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION (NATIONAL ELECTRIC 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 (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/Setup  
Remove stretch wrap protective cover, shipping corners, and top cover from dryer.  
NOTE:  
The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in the  
basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place yet made  
accessible because some will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the  
dryer.  
Coin dryer’s are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate only. The coin box lock is not included and  
must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from ADC factory.  
The dryer can be moved to it’s 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 of the base, and two (2) are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer  
off the skid.  
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower all leveling legs so  
that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs,  
one at each corner of the dryer base. The slotted adjustment bolts for the two (2) front leveling legs are located  
directly behind the lower access door, and the rear two (2) adjustments are directly behind the lower rear back  
(guard) panel.  
B. Location Of The Dryer  
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances.  
The dryer must be installed on a sound, level floor capable of supporting it’s weight. It is recommended that  
carpeting be removed from the floor are on which the dryer is to rest.

Even though a 12-inch clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned  
approximately 2 feet away from the nearest obstruction, i.e., wall, for ease of installation, maintenance, and  
service.  
1. Leveling The Dryer  
To increase bearing life, improve efficiency, and provide for better automatic closure of main doors, the tumbler  
should be tilted slightly to the rear. Four (4) leveling legs are provided for this purpose and are shipped inside the  
top tumbler (basket) and must be installed at the time of installation. A leveling leg must be screwed into the  
bottom of the dryer base at each corner area where the bolts used to secure the dryer to the wooden skid were  
removed.  
C. Dryer Enclosure Requirements  
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of  
6-inches above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.  
NOTE: Even though a minimum of 6-inches above the dryer outer top is acceptable, a clearance of  
18-inches (or more) is suggested for ease of installation and service (power electrical connections).  
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 12-inches above the  
dryer outer top is required.

D. Fresh Air Supply  
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper and safe performance of each  
dryer. An unrestricted source of air of 550 cfm is necessary for each tumbler. An unrestricted air entrace from  
the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 2 square feet 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 is distributed equally to the dryers. 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 air opening of 16 square feet is required. Two (2) openings 2’ by 4’ (16 square feet) are acceptable.  
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 contaminated by dry cleaning solvents will result in irreparable damage to  
motors and dryer components.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located near duct work exhaust outlets. If the  
make-up air opening(s) are too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes may be drawn  
back into the dryer through these openings.  
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOIDTHEWARRANTY.

E. Exhaust Requirements  
General Information  
Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will  
create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner  
by airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat.  
Where possible, it is suggested that a sperate (single) exhaust duct for each dryer/tumbler be provided.  
CAUTION: IMPROPERLYSIZED or INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE VENTED TO THE OUTDOORS.  
The exhaust duct work should be laid out in such a way that the duct travels as directly as possible to the  
outdoors with as few turns as possible. The shape of the duct work is not critical so long as the minimum cross-  
sectional area is provided.  
It is suggested that the use of 90º turns in ducting be avoided; use 30º or 45º angles instead.  
The duct work should be smooth inside with no projections from the sheet metal screws or other obstructions  
which collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected.  
ALL duct work 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 duct work for periodic inspection and  
cleaning.  
The duct work material must meet applicable National, State, and Local codes, or in Canada, the duct work  
material must meet applicable Canadian National, Provincial, and Local codes.  
IMPORTANT: When connecting duct work to the dryer’s top basket (tumbler) exhaust duct work, be  
sure that when screws are used they do not restrict the operation (both opening and  
closing) of the damper.  
NOTE: When the exhaust duct passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the  
opening must be 2-inches larger (all the way around) than the duct. The duct must be centered  
withinthisopening.  
To protect the outside end of horizontal duct work from the weather, a 90º elbow bent downward should be  
installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust duct work travels vertically up through the roof, it  
should be protected from the weather by using a 180º turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow  
at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and nearest obstruction.  
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens or caps on the outside opening of exhaust duct work.  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area  
must not exceed 0.3 inches of water column.  
NOTE: Careful consideration should be given to where the exhaust duct is located in relation to the  
make-up air openings. If make-up air opening is too close to exhaust outlet, lint and fumes  
will be drawn back in to the dryer area through these openings.  
If the length of the duct work run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the specifications noted in this booklet, the  
cross-sectional area of the duct work must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.  
IMPORTANT: For extended duct work runs, the cross-sectional area of the duct can only be  
increased to an extent. For extended duct work runs, a professional HVAC firm  
should be consulted for proper venting information.  
Duct work should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at the rear of the dryer for removal  
of rear service panels/guards.  
IMPORTANT: Even though the dryer’s exhaust outlet size is six (6) inches in diameter (at both the  
top basket [tumbler] damper duct and the bottom basket [tumbler] elbow where it  
leaves the dryer), the minimum connection at the point of exit from the dryer  
in ALL cases MUST BE increased. The amount of increase in diameter will  
depend on the venting application/layout as described further in this manual.  
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN THE DRYER BE VENTED TO  
THE OUTDOORS USING A 6-INCH DIAMETER EXHAUST DUCT!!!  
1. Exhaust Connections of Top and Bottom Baskets (Tumblers)  
There is no common venting connection provided with the dryer. Each basket (tumbler) exhaust duct is provided  
with its own back draft damper. Each basket (tumbler) can be exhausted directly outdoors independently (refer  
to the illustration [MAN2114] on page 16) or connected commonly (“Y”) together (refer to the illustration  
[MAN2113] on page 17). Both single or common “Y” duct can be rigid or flexible ducting.

The illustration below shows the duct work connection points and what internal duct work is included in the  
dryer.  
The exhaust connection at the TOP basket (tumbler) must be made at the blower duct inside the cabinet. No  
internal duct work is included for the TOP basket/tumbler. (Not available from ADC and must be  
purchased elsewhere). Depending on the external duct work layout, the installer has the option of the duct  
work coming out of the top of the back of the dryer. The duck work used inside of the dryer, from the blower  
duct to where it exits the dryer, must be a minimum of 6-inches in diameter (30 square inches cross-sectional  
area). At this point (where the internal ducting ends) the diameter must be increased to meet the application  
as described further in this manual.  
IMPORTANT: When connecting duct work to the top basket (tumbler) exhaust duct, be sure that  
when screws are used they do not restrict the operation (both opening and closing)  
of the damper.  
IMPORTANT: ALL duct work joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping  
into the dryer and/or building.  
The BOTTOM basket (tumbler) includes 6-inch duct work which extends from the dryer blower duct to the  
lower back guard area. At this point the diameter must be increased to meet the application as described  
further in this manual.

a. Connecting Both Top Baskets (Tumbler) and Bottom Baskets (Tumbler) Together  
Both the top basket (tumbler) and the bottom basket (tumbler) can “Y” together to form one connection point.  
The bottom basket (tumbler) already includes 6-inch diameter ducting extending to the lower back guard area.  
The minimum connection at this point is 8 inches. The upper basket (tumbler) includes no internal duct  
work. (Not provided by ADC and must be purchased elsewhere, must be a minimum of 6-inches, and only to  
the top of the dryer.) At this point (where the internal ducting ends at top of the dryer) the diameter must be  
increased to meet the application as described further in this manual.  
IMPORTANT: When connecting duct work to the top basket (tumbler) exhaust duct, be sure that  
when screws are used they do not restrict the operation (both opening and closing)  
of the damper.  
IMPORTANT: ALL duct work joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping  
into the dryer and/or building.  
NOTE: Common (“Y”) exhaust connections of the top basket (tumbler) and bottom basket (tumbler)  
should be installed in such a manner that the back guards/panels can be removed easily for  
servicing.  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler) exhaust  
duct area should not exceed 0.3 inches water column when both baskets (tumblers)  
are operating.

2. Single DryerVenting  
Where possible, it is suggested that a separate exhaust duct be provided for each dryer. The exhaust duct  
work should be laid out in such a way that the duct work travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as  
few turns as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns in ducting be avoided; use 30º or 45º angles  
instead. The shape of the exhaust duct work is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is  
provided.  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area  
should not exceed 0.3 inches water column.  
If the length of the duct work run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the specifications noted in this manual,  
the cross-sectional area of the duct work must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run  
added.  
a. Single Dryer Venting - with each basket (tumbler) independently vented all the way to the  
outdoors.  
IMPORTANT: For extended duct work runs...or where numerous elbows are used, the cross-  
sectional area can only be increased to an extent and a professional HVAC firm  
should be consulted for proper venting information.  
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN THE DRYER BE VENTED TO  
THE OUTDOORS USING A 6-INCH DIAMETER EXHAUST DUCT!!!  
Where independent exhaust ducting is used for each basket (tumbler), the connection size at the point where  
the internal ducting (6-inch diameter) leaves the dryer, the minimum size connection is 8-inch diameter (54  
square inches cross-sectional area)...and this is only true providing;  
(Refer to illustration [MAN2114] on page 16 for details.)  
1) The maximum duct run is no more than 20 feet.  
2) The duct work is on a horizontal run (no riser).  
3) There is no more than one (1) elbow...which includes the outside outlet (i.e., elbow used for  
outside protection).  
IMPORTANT: Even though the dryer’s exhaust outlet size is six (6) inches in diameter (at both the  
top basket [tumbler] elbow where it leaves the dryer), the minimum connection at  
this point of exit from the dryer is 8-inches diameter (54 square inches cross-  
sectional area).

b. Single Dryer Venting - with common (top basket [tumbler] and bottom basket [tumbler]  
connected together) exhaust connections.  
If the top and bottom baskets (tumblers) connect or “Y” together as noted is Section E1, the minimum  
diameter size at the “Y” or point of connections is 10 inches in diameter (80 square inches cross-sectional  
area). Additionally, the maximum duct work travel from the top of the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must  
not exceed fifteen (15) feet. Refer to the illustration [MAN2113] located above for examples.  
The vertical ducting need not be a minimum of 10-inches in diameter all the way into the dryer. Connections  
inside the dryer can be 6-inches in diameter for the top basket (tumbler) and for the bottom basket (tumbler)  
increased to 8-inches up to the top area of the dryer and then at that point must be a minimum of 10-inches in  
diameter (80 square inches cross-sectional area). Additionally, the length of the exhaust run cannot exceed  
fifteen (15) feet from the top of the dryer to the point where the exhaust end outside.  
3. Multiple Dryer Venting (with Common Main Duct)  
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers or baskets  
(tumblers) may be channeled into a common main duct. Each dryer/basket (tumbler) is provided with a back  
draft damper. The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle of not more  
than 45º 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 duct is added as per the illustration  
[MAN2172] on page 19 and the illustration [MAN2171] on page 20.  
The maximum length of venting from the last dryer to where it exhausts is the following:  
VERTICAL -------- venting run must not exceed eight (8) feet. This calculation compensates for the  
use of maximum of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating 180º  
(turned downward) outside outlet.  
HORIZONTAL----- venting run must not exceed fifteen (15) feet. This calculation compensates for the  
use of maximum of only one (1) elbow which is the outside outlet protection.  
IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers (eight [8] baskets [tumblers]) maximum should be  
connected to one (1) main common duct. Refer to the applicable section of this  
manual for specific common venting size.  
NOTE: The distance between the dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must  
be a minimum of 31-1/2 inches (the dryers width).  
The duct work should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at the rear  
area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels/guards.  
The illustration [MAN2172] on page 19 and the illustration [MAN2171] on page 20 show the minimum cross-  
sectional are 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 duct work runs, the cross-sectional area of the duct can only be  
increased to an extent. For extended duct work runs or where numerous elbows are  
used, a professional HVAC firm should be consulted for proper venting information.  
NOTE: Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust duct work for periodic  
inspection and cleaning.  
a. Multiple Dryer Venting - where each basket (tumbler) is individually vented.  
With multiple venting where each basket is vented independently (a separate exhaust is used for each basket  
[tumbler]) to the common main duct, a minimum of an 8-inch diameter duct (50 square inches cross-sectional  
area) connection between the dryer and common main duct is acceptable providing this duct does not exceed  
eight (8) feet in length.  
IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers (eight [8] baskets [tumblers]) can be connected to one  
(1) common duct (vent).

ImportantVenting Reminders  
1. Duct work sizing and installation should be done by a qualified professional.  
2. The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.  
3. The duct work should be routed as short as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible.  
4. Avoid 90º turns...use 30º or 45º turns instead.  
5. The size (cross-sectional area) of the duct work will depend on the application (i.e.,single dryer venting,  
common venting etc.), as well as the length of the duct and the amount of elbows. DO NOT EXCEED  
THE SPECIFICATIONS NOTED IN THIS MANUAL.  
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN THE DRYER BE VENTED TO  
THE OUTDOORS USING A 6-INCH DIAMETER EXHAUST DUCT!!!  
6. The inside of the duct work should be as smooth as possible...with no projections from the sheet metal  
screws.  
Ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected.  
7. ALL ducts should be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building.  
8. Inspection/clean out doors should be installed throughout strategic points in the duct work for periodic  
inspection and cleaning.  
9. Wherever the duct passes through combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches larger (all the  
way around) than the duct. The duct must be centered within this opening.  
10. The outside of the duct work must be protected from the weather. A 90º elbow must be used for a  
horizontal run and when going vertically through the roof by using a 180º turn to point the opening  
downward. The distance between the exhaust duct and the nearest obstruction (i.e., roof or ground) must  
be twice the diameter of the duct.  
11. DO NOT use screens or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust duct work.  
12. The duct work exhaust outlets SHOULD NOT be located near make-up air openings. If make-up air  
openings are located too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes may be drawn back into the dryer area  
through these openings.  
13. Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler) exhaust duct should not exceed  
0.3 inches water column when both baskets (tumblers) are operating.

c. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas  
Dryers made for use with L.P. gas valve’s pressure regulator blocked open so that the gas pressure must  
be regulated upstream of the dryer. The pressure measured at each gas valve body pressure tap must be  
a consistent 10.5 inches water column. There is no regular 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.  
3.  
Piping/Connections  
ALL components/materials must conform to NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE specifications, or in Canada, the  
CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).  
It is important that the gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements and that gas meters be  
rated for total amount of ALL the appliance Btu’s being supplied.  
The dryer is provided with two (2) 3/4” N.P.T. inlet pipe connections (one for each basket/tumbler) at the rear of  
the dryer. If a separate feed is provided for each basket (tumbler) from the main supply line (header), then a  
3/4” line connection is sufficient. However, if the top basket (tumbler) and the bottom basket (tumbler) connec-  
tions are connected together, the supply from the header must be increased to 1-inch (maximum fifty [50] feet to  
the header). For typical gas connections refer to the illustration on page 28. It is recommended that a gas shut-  
off valve be provided to the gas supply line of each dryer basket (tumbler) for ease in servicing.  
The size of the gas supply line (header) will vary, depending on the distance this supply line travels from the gas  
meter (or in case of L.P. gas, the supply tank), the number of tees, other gas-operated appliances on the supply  
line, ect. Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas supplier.  
NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent gas 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 3/4” pipe loop be installed  
in the supply line servicing the bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply  
line (header) if natural gas line pressure exceeds 12.0 inches water column pressure. Refer to the illustration on  
the following page (page 28) for details  
27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IMPORTANT:Water column pressure of 4.0 inches for natural gas dryers and 10.5 inches for L.P. gas is  
required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation.  
A 1/8” 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 and L.P. gases must be used.  
WARNING: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent  
also works well). NEVER TEST FOR A GAS LEAK WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label located  
behind the left coin control panel, on the right wall (refer to SECTION IX [pages 48 and 49] of this  
manual).  
3. Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer label.  
4. The sail switch damper assemblies are installed and pre-adjusted at the factory prior to shipment.  
However, each sail switch adjustment should be checked to assure this important safety control is  
functioning.  
5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.  
6. Be sure ALL gas shut-off valves are in the open position.  
7. Be sure ALL back panels (guards) and electric box covers have been replaced.  
8. Check ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secured in place.  
9. Rotate the baskets (tumblers) by hand to be sure they move freely.  
I. Preoperational Tests  
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.  
1. Turn On Electrical Power To The Dryer  
a. Open ALL gas shut-off valves.  
2. Computer System Operational  
a. COIN MODELS ONLY  
1) The LED display(s) will flash back and forth between “FILL” and the amount needed to start  
the dryer (i.e., “25”), which means that the dryer is available and 25¢ is required to start it.  
2) Insert the proper number of coins into coin acceptor. Once the correct amount needed to  
start the dryer has been inserted, the LED display will read “PUSH”.  
3) Start the dryer by pressing the desired setting (i.e., LOW TEMP). The LED display will now  
read selection (setting) made and the amount of time vended (i.e., “LO 10”).

the main door and then making a new selection.  
4) Repeat above procedure for the other basket (tumbler).  
3. Heat Circuit Operational Test  
a. GAS MODELS  
When a gas dryer is first started (during the initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first  
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air. It may take a few minutes for this air to  
be purged from the lines.  
30  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The dryer is equipped with a Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) system which has internal diagnostics. If  
ignition is not established after the first attempt, the heat circuit HSI module will try two (2) additional times  
and if a flame is not established the HSI module will lock out until it is manually reset. To reset the HSI  
system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer (press desired temperature selection).  
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shut-off valves are open.  
Once ignition is established, a gas pressure reading should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each  
dryer to assure that the water column pressure is correct and consistent.  
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap from the manifold  
side of the gas valve):  
Natural Gas---------3.5 Inches W.C.  
L.P. Gas-------------10.5 Inches W.C.  
IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO REGULATOR PROVIDED INAN L.P. DRYER. The water  
column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regular must  
be added to each dryer.  
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint basket switches and  
sail switches).  
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the main door, and while  
holding the main door switch in, start the dryer. The heating units should not come on. If it  
does, make the necessary adjustments.  
5. Each basket (tumbler) SHOULD BE operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no  
further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.  
IMPORTANT: The dryer baskets (tumblers) are treated with a protective coating. This coating can be  
removed by tumbling old clothes or material in the baskets (tumblers) using a mild  
detergent to remove the protective coating.  
NOTE: Drying and cooling cycles are complete when the LED display reads “donE”.  
6. Computer Programs/Selections  
Each Microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most  
commonly used program (parameter) selections. If (computer) program changes are required, refer to the  
Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Programming Manual which was shipped with the dryer.

SECTION VII  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
A. 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 duct work system. The frequency of cleaning can best be  
determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependant upon proper air  
circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this air flow. 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 OFLINT CAN CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: KEEPDRYERAREACLEARAND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLEVAPORS and LIQUIDS.  
WARNING: TOAVOID THE HAZARD OFELECTRICALSHOCK, DISCONTINUE

NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)  
operational (running) hours per day.  
DAILY (beginning of every work shift)  
Clean lint from basket(s)/tumbler(s)  
Inspect lint screen(s)/drawer(s) for damage and replace if torn.  
WEEKLY  
Clean lint accumulation from around microprocessor sensor probes and sensor bracket assemblies.  
90 DAYS  
Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.  
IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict the airflow over the motor(s), causing over heating and  
irreparable motor damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation will VOID THE  
WARRANTY.
