Post-Season Maintenance

After the drying season, the following steps are recommended to put your dryer into a condition suitable for an extended period of non-operational time.

1. Disconnect all power and turn off the gas supply.

2. Perform one final cleaning of the dryer inside and out as previously explained in the Seasonal Cleaning section of the manual. Use a power washer on the outer panels if dirt has built up in hard-to-reach areas.

3. Open the plenum access doors and sweep out all foreign material.

4. Visually inspect all bearings to see if there is indication of one in need of replacement. Inspect the drive belts and chains and note if any are in need of replacement or lubrication.

5. Grease all fan motor bearings and fan bearings as recommended in the Lubrication section of the manual.

6. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt from the control cabinet.
