SQ08-SQ40 Mechanical Installation Manual

It is of utmost importance that care be taken by the Dealer and Installer to match the type of FUEL noted on the Fuel Warning Plate. Starting the

Dryer one time on the wrong fuel can produce a firestream tens of feet in length, that can destroy many Dryer components and possibly the entire Dryer. Failure to follow specific instructions on Fuel WARNING Plates and tags could result in fire, explosion, equipment damage, death or personal injury.

Installation and filling of liquefied propane (LP) gas storage and transfer systems must conform with National Fire Protection Association Standard: Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, NFPA No. 58, (current edition in effect at the time of the installation).

Installation and/or service must be done only by licensed gas contractors conforming to national and local applicable codes. Failure to follow these requirements will result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Proper Fuel Line Connection is Critical

IMPORTANT! Connect the Plumbing lines only to fuel lines specified.

A Fuel WARNING Plate (5537-00049 or 5537-00050) is located on or near the connection hose or pipe. See below. See also SAFETY Manual Main Menu. Review specific approved fuels see links below.

LP Dryers must have one SHUTOFF VALVE at each tank, and should have another valve within 5' - 25' [1 524 - 7 620] of the Dryer. All valves must be easily accessible.

Natural-gas Dryers must have a MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE installed in the supply line at least 25’ [7 620] from the Dryer and easily accessible.

All Dryers must have a proper EXCESS FLOW valve —in the LP fuel line at the tank—sized according to fuel line size.

Combo Dryers

Combo Dryers are shipped with LP Orifices installed. Burner Orifices need to changed when switching fuel types. Natural Orifices are shipped loose with Combo Dryers.

Before Initial Startup

Check the complete plumbing system for leaks or tightness of fittings, especially at unions. Use a liquid soap solution with the plumbing train under normal operating pressure. Purge new plumbing lines before final assembly to blow oil, dirt, and thread chips out of the lines that could interfere with proper operation and damage plumbing components.
