On some models: The console houses the electronic control 

board. The board is factory set for a dry time of 45 minutes. 

Consult the tech sheet found inside the dryer toe panel to reset dry 

time and for other options.
The card reading mechanism is not included, but is available from 

your usual industry sources.

1.  Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving  

to avoid damaging floor covering. 

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation 

location. 
Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove  

the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a damp 

cloth to remove any dust. 
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer 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. Disconnect 

power before making electrical connections.

2.  Screw in leveling legs 
Examine leveling legs and find diamond  

marking. Screw legs into leg holes by  

hand. Use an adjustable wrench or  

1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench  

to finish turning legs until diamond  

marking is no longer visible. Then fit  

a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To protect the floor, use a large piece of cardboard from the dryer 

carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer until 

it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical 

connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

1.  Install coin slide and coin box
Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up at the 

back. Install the money-accepting 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.

2.  Install added security device
Check that power is not supplied to the dryer.
Open and remove the service door.
Insert the narrow part of the security cone into the oblong hole in 

the bottom rear of the meter case assembly.
Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand into 

the cage nut below the oblong hole.
Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a wrench 

to tighten until snug.

NOTE: Installing the security bolt provides added security, but  

will add to the service time when the top needs to be removed  

for servicing the dryer.

for 30-minute (6 pins) and 60-minute (3 pins) drying times are 

included in the parts bag.
The coin slide mechanism, service door lock and key, and coin box 

lock and key may not be included but are available from the usual 

industry sources.
