Shimming the Basket and Spider Assembly
This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the
basket or the spider assembly on any dryer tumbler. The alignment of
these two parts are crucial in assuring a true running basket.
1. Align the basket as per instructions in manual.
2. Rotate the basket to determine where the most out of round
point is (where the basket scraped or cimes closest to
scraping the sweep sheet).
3. Mark this position and the nearest rib to this position.
4. Remove the basket (do not loosen the alignment bolts).
5. With the basket on the floor (spider up), place one or two
shims between the spider led and the back of the basket at the
marked rib position. (see drawing)
6. Re-insert spider and basket assembly and re-check cylinder.
7. If at this point the basket is still out of round, procedure must
be repeated starting with Step 2.
8. Upon completion of shimming process, re-alignment of
basket is necessary.
