PRELIMINARY OPERATING CHECKS
1. Remove or open all panels and check accessible 
bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for 
tightness.
2. Check V-belt tension and adjust if necessary. Refer to 
appropriate paragraphs in Section IV.
3. Steam tumblers: Open the steam service shut-off 
valves.
4. After performing the previous checks, start the 
tumbler by pressing START (hold for approximately 
three seconds). Release the start button and open the 
cylinder door. The cylinder should stop rotating 
within seven seconds  after the door is opened a 
maximum of two inches (5.01 cm) plus or minus 
¹⁄₄ 
inch (.63 cm). If it does not, adjust the loading door 
interlock. Refer to the appropriate paragraph in 
Section IV.
5. Gas tumblers: Start the tumbler and check the burner 
flame. Adjust the gas inlet shutter as required. Refer 
to the appropriate paragraph in Section IV.
IMPORTANT: The one wire igniter Instant 
Electronic Ignition system will attempt to light the gas 
by sparking for approximately 15 seconds (5  seconds 
for 2 wire igniters). If gas ignition does not take place 
within 15 seconds (5 seconds for 2 wire igniters) the 
Instant Electronic Ignition control will go into safety 
lockout and the valve will no longer open until Instant 
Electronic Ignition control is reset. To reset Instant 
Electronic Ignition control, remove power from 
control by opening and closing the tumbler door. If 
condition persists, check, that the gas shut-off valve is 
in “on” position and that the gas service is properly 
connected. If condition still persists, remove tumbler 
from service.
6. Load the cylinder with a full load of clothes or clean 
rags and run to remove oil or dirt from cylinder.
7. Gas and electric tumblers: Check the airflow switch 
operation by opening the lint panel. The heating 
systems should shut off when the lint panel is opened 
a maximum of 1-1/2 inches (3.81 cm).
The airflow switch operation may be affected by shipping 
tape still in place, lack of make-up air, or an obstruction 
in the exhaust duct. These should be checked and the 
required corrective action taken before attempting to 
adjust the airflow switch. To adjust the airflow switch 
refer to appropriate paragraph in Section IV.
The tumbler must not be operated if the 
airflow switch does not operate properly. 
Faulty airflow switch operation may cause 
an explosive gas mixture to collect in the 
tumbler.
