Before Placing Tumbler into Service
1. Remove or open all panels and check accessible
bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for
tightness.
2. Replace all panels and guards.
3. Turn on electrical supply to tumbler.
4. Open the supply valve for gas or steam heated
tumblers.
5. After performing the previous checks, start the
tumbler by pressing START. (Refer to the
Operating Manual for detailed instructions.)
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 2 inches (51 mm). If it does not,
adjust the cylinder door switch. Refer to
Adjustments section.
IMPORTANT: The electronic ignition system will
attempt to light the gas by sparking for the "trial
for ignition" period (refer to Table 3). If gas does
not ignite within this period, the ignition control
will go into a safety lockout and the valve will no
longer open until the control is reset. It may be
necessary to retry several times to bleed air from
the gas lines. To reset, open and close the loading
door and restart tumbler.

7. 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 (38 mm).
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.
WARNING
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.
8. Wipe out the cylinder using an all-purpose
cleaner or detergent and water solution. Refer to
Figure 5.
