START-UP/OPERATION
Follow the procedure below to start your dryer. Failure
tofollowtheprescribedstart-upprocedurewillinvalidate
thewarranty.Ifproblemsariseduringstart-up,callyour
distributor.
RefertoSerialNumberTagfordryeroperating
capacity.Donotexceedrecommendedcapacity.
Drainconnectionsmustbemadebeforethedryercanbe
operated.Thedryersarefullyautomaticandrequireno
auxiliarycontrols.
1. TurnthedryerON/OFFswitchtoOFF.
2. Checkthatthemainelectricalsupplyvoltagematches
thevoltagespeciedonthedryerdataplate.
3. Checkproperconnectionandsupportofcompressedair
linestothedryer;checkbypassvalvesystem,ifinstalled.
4. SLOWLYpressurizethedryer.Theoutletvalvesofthe
dryershouldbeclosedtopreventowthroughthe

5. Turn on the main electrical power to the dryer.
6. Ensureadequateventilationforair-cooleddryers.
To start dryer:
1. Turn the power switch to ON.Therefrigerantcompressor
will turn on.
2. Allowthedryertorun15minutes.Conrmthatthe

SHUTDOWN
Whenthedryermustbeshutdownformaintenanceorother
reasons,usethefollowingprocedure.
Ifelectricalrepairsmustbemade:
1. Turnoffthepowerswitch.
2. Disconnectthemainpowersupply.
3. Lockoutandtagthepowersupplyinaccordancewith
OSHArequirements.
Ifmechanicalrepairsaretobemadeorserviceisperformed,
venttheinternalpressureofthedryertoatmospheric
pressure.Restartthedryeraccordingtothestart-up
instructions.
Disconnectpowersupplyanddepressurize

componentofthecompressedairsystemunderpressure
maycauseequipmentfailureandseriouspersonalinjury.
MAINTENANCE
