SECTION IV
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, installation must conform to applicable AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS:
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION
and/or
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION
A. ENCLOSURE / AIR SUPPLY / EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For detailed descriptions, refer to the
AD-310 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual (ADC Part No. 112192) or the AD-310
Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual (ADC Part No. 112191).
Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances
should be made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be
made in the rear and sides for ease of maintenance. Refer to appropriate Installation Manual (AD-310
Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112192] or the AD-310 Tilting Installation/Operator's
Manual [ADC Part No. 112191]) for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and
exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the
make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail
switch "fluttering" problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from
overheating. The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to
motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will
create excessive back pressure which will result 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. Refer to appropriate
Installation Manual (AD-310 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112192] or the AD-310
Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112191]) for more detail.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
