chart,

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/,`' (64 mm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21/2`' (64 mm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home or business.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and loads being dried.

[]

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your dealer and should be installed in the vent of each dryer
to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and
to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent.
Unobstructed air openings are required.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.
If an exhaust hood cannot be used:
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the
roof, rather than through the walt, install a 180° sweep elbow on
the end of the vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the highest part
of the building. The opening in the walt or roof shall have a
diameter 1Z2"(13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent
should be centered in the opening.
B

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30 °.

The factory-installed timer is set to provide 45 minutes (4 pins)
of drying time when activated by the coin slide. Timer cams for
30-minute (6 pins) and 60-minute (3 pins) drying times are
included in the parts bag.
The coin slide mechanism, control panel lock and key, and coin
box lock and key are not included and are available from usual
industry sources.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body
of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.

With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond
marking. That's how far the leg is supposed to go into the
hole.

Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a
small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw
threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1" (25 mm)
wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you
reach the diamond mark.

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to
avoid damaging floor covering.
1.

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location.

2. Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the
drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Now stand the dryer up.
Remove the service
door of the meter case
by lifting it up at the
back. Install the moneyaccepting device. (Refer
to manufacturer's
instructions for proper
installation.)
For dryers using coin
slides, use the adapter kit supplied with the dryer.

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with
lock and key in the meter case opening.

Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS- GASDRYER

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.

Remove red cap from gas pipe.

2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
resistant to the action of LR gas for gas connections. If
flexible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.

Electrical Shock Hazard

If necessary for service, open the toe panel by removing the
21A'' hex-head screws from the bottom of the panel. Then lift
up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away
from the dryer.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

Do not use an adapter.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found.

Do not use an extension cord.

1.

Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

3. Check dryer operation:
Insert coins. Operating time will accumulate per number of
coins. Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle
(not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes.
Dryer will stop when time is used up.

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When
door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To
restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTART button.

3. Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
4.

If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside
the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply
valve controls are in "ON" position and that the electrical cord
is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.

If drying time is too long, make sure lint screen is clean.
