Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate the SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH drying tumbler according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death, and/or property damage. It is important to understand that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that must be supplied by the person installing, maintaining, or operating the tumbler.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, serious injury, or death, do not operate the tumbler if it does not perform according to instructions. Immediately disconnect electrical service, shut off the gas supply, and contact an authorized service representative. Service and repairs are to be performed by authorized service representatives only.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, install lockable door(s) to prevent public access to the rear of the SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH tumbler.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, serious injury, or death when using the SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH, follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the tumbler.

• DO NOT tamper with controls.

• DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

• Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Remove laundry immediately after the tumbler stops.

• DO NOT reach into the tumbler if the cylinder is revolving.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the tumbler. Close supervision of children is necessary when the tumbler is used near children.

• Before the tumbler is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

• Do not install or store the tumbler where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

• Run the tumbler with a load before putting it into service.

• Always disconnect the electrical power to the tumbler before servicing.

To avoid creating any flammable vapors which may explode, ignite or cause corrosive damage, DO NOT dry the following materials in your SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH:

• Articles that have been cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable/explosive substances.

• Plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

• Articles that have traces of flammable substances like cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, or thinner. NOTE: Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

• Articles containing wax or cleaning chemicals.

• Fiberglass curtains or draperies (unless the label says it can be done).

• Do not put articles soiled with flammable liquids or flammable cleaning solvents in the dryer.

• Do not spray or store aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance. Various chemicals used in laundries contain chlorine. When decomposed in a flame, these materials may rapidly corrode and destroy the appliance.

• Use for drying water-washed fabrics only.

Upon delivery, visually inspect the crate, carton, and parts for any visible shipping damage. If the crate, carton, or cover are damaged or show signs of possible damage, have the carrier note the condition on the shipping papers before the shipping receipt is signed, or advise the carrier of the condition as soon as it is discovered.

Remove the crate and protective cover as soon as possible and check the items listed on the packing list. Advise the carrier of any damaged or missing articles as soon as possible. A written claim should be filed with the carrier immediately if articles are damaged or missing.

IMPORTANT: Remove the shipping tape from the two back draft dampers located in the exhaust thimble.

FLOOR: The SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH drying tumbler may be installed on any level floor capable of supporting 100 pounds per square foot (488 kg/m²). Floor covering materials such as carpeting or tile should be removed.

LAYOUT: Whenever possible, the tumbler should be installed along an outside wall where duct length can be kept to a minimum, and make-up air can be easily accessed. Construction must not block airflow at the top rear of the tumbler. Doing so would prevent an adequate air supply to the tumbler’s combustion chamber.

VENTING: For maximum efficiency and minimum lint accumulation, tumbler air must be exhausted to the outdoors by the shortest possible route.

MAKE-UP AIR: A tumbler is a forced air exhaust and requires provisions for make-up air to replace the air exhausted by the tumbler. The recommended make-up air opening is 195 square inches (1258 sq. cm). At a minimum, the tumbler must have at least 1 in² (2.54 cm²) of opening for every 1000 BTU/hr (252 Kcal/hr) of input rating for proper combustion.

Properly sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper operation. Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material, equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to galvanized sheet steel not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.

• Individual Venting: It is preferred to exhaust tumblers individually to the outdoors. At no point may the cross area of installed venting be less than the cross area of the exhaust thimble of the tumbler. The maximum allowable length of venting is 14 feet (4.3 m) and two 90° elbows or equivalent.

• Collector Venting: A main collector duct may be used if sized properly. The collector duct must be tapered. Individual tumbler ducts must enter the collector duct at a 45° angle in the direction of air flow. Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle to the collector duct.

• With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point in the duct must be at least 1200 feet (366 m) per minute to ensure that lint remains airborne.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust tumbler air into a window well, gas vent, chimney, or enclosed, unventilated area such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building, or concealed space of a building.

NOTE: Do not install wire mesh or screen in the exhaust opening as lint will build up and prevent proper discharge of air from the tumbler.

The table below shows the equivalent length of straight duct for 90° elbows:

Equivalent Length (feet) (m) = 1.17 x Duct Diameter (inches) (cm)

The SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH tumbler must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock. The tumbler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with circuit conductors and connected to the PE Busbar.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, check with a qualified serviceman for proper grounding procedures. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. If the electrical supply is coming from a three-phase service, DO NOT connect a “Stinger Leg” to a single-phase machine.

NOTE: DO NOT use aluminum wire.

Requirements Table:

Gas and High Pressure Steam Drying Tumblers:

WARNING: All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, de-energize the electrical circuit being connected to the tumbler before making any electrical connections. Never attempt to connect a live circuit.

Use the following steps to connect electrical service to the tumbler:

1. Install a circuit breaker as close to the tumbler as possible. If more than one tumbler is being installed, a circuit breaker should be provided for each tumbler.

2. a. Connect conduit-encased leads to the circuit breaker.

b. Turn “off” the disconnect switch on the tumbler and open the junction box.

c. Insert conduit-encased leads through one of the knockout holes in the junction box.

d. Connect wire leads to the disconnect switch.

• 1 Phase Units: Connect one lead to the top left connection point. Connect the other lead to the top right connection point.

• 3 Phase Units: Connect one lead to each connection point.

e. Connect a ground wire to the PE Busbar in the junction box.

3. Check electrical service phase sequence (three-phase only) as follows:

a. Energize the electrical service and momentarily start the tumbler. Check the direction of the cylinder rotation. If the cylinder rotates clockwise (viewed from the front), the phase sequence is correct. If the cylinder rotates counterclockwise, proceed with step “b”.

b. Disconnect and reverse any two leads at the connections.

4. Close the junction box cover and turn “on” the disconnect switch.

Positioning:

The tumbler may be removed from its shipping skid before moving to the installation location. Remove the tumbler from the skid by unscrewing the four shipping capscrews (one at each corner). The lint panel door will have to be removed to access two front capscrews.

NOTE: Do not throw these four capscrews away – they are the leveling legs.

Screw the four leveling legs back into the level adjusting fittings from the top. Slide the tumbler to its permanent location and level it. Keep the tumbler as close to the floor as possible. All four legs must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the tumbler is evenly distributed. The tumbler must not rock.

Leveling:

The SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH tumbler should be leveled within 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) from front to rear, and 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) from side to side. Check the front-to-rear level by rotating the clothes cylinder until one rib is at the bottom, then place a level on the bottom rib. The side-to-side level should be checked by placing a level on the front and rear of the top panel.

Gas Connections:

Before connecting, make certain the gas service is the same as specified on the nameplate. Use pipe compound resistant to the actions of L.P. gas on all pipe threads.

• Natural Gas: Must be supplied at 6.5 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure (1.62 ± .37 kPa).

• L.P. Gas: Must be supplied at 11 ± 0.3 inch water column pressure (2.74 ± .07 kPa).

WARNING: Check all pipe connections for gas leaks using a soapy solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. The tumbler and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

Steam Connections:

The SPEED QUEEN JC75CSH is a high-pressure model requiring a (constant) 80 to 100 psig (5.62 to 7.03 kg/sq. cm) steam service for optimum operation.

WARNING: Flexible steam hoses must have a 125 psig (8.79 kg/sq. cm) working pressure. A shut-off gate valve must be installed upstream from the solenoid steam valve. The steam solenoid valve must be supported so minimum load is exerted on the steam coil inlet connections. Each steam trap must be supported so minimum load is exerted on the coil outlet connection.

• A manual shut-off gate valve must be installed in the condensate return line after the steam trap for each coil.

• A gate shut-off valve must be installed in the steam supply line.

• A steam trap must be installed a minimum of 10 inches (25.4 cm) below steam coil outlet connections.

Steam Trap Sizing:

Lighting the System:

1. Turn the machine disconnect switch, located on the rear of the tumbler, to the “on” position.

2. Turn the gas shut-off valve, located on the rear of the tumbler, to the “on” position (gas valve handle should be parallel with the gas line).

3. Start the tumbler, following the operating instructions which accompanied it.

NOTE: The ignition control circuitry will verify the airflow switch is open before starting the cylinder motor. Once the motor is started, air flowing through the tumbler will close the airflow switch. The tumbler will purge air for 18 seconds. Ignition will start with a three-second release of gas from the gas valve and sparking of the ignitor. If ignition does not occur during the first three seconds, the ignition control will “lockout,” causing the gas valve to close and a red button on the ignition control to illuminate.

To reset the ignition system, open the access door and press the red button on the ignition control. Close and lock the access door, verify the gas shut-off valve is in the “on” position, and return to step three.

Shutting Down the System:

If the tumbler will not start, remove it from service by turning the machine disconnect switch to the “off” position and turning the gas shut-off valve to the “off” position (gas valve handle should be at a right angle to the gas line).

1. Remove or open all panels and inspect accessible bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.

2. Check belt tension, and adjust if necessary (refer to Adjustment Section).

3. Energize the electrical circuit to the tumbler circuit breaker and turn on the tumbler disconnect switch.

4. Turn on the gas supply at the manual gas shut-off valve in the gas supply line (gas models only). The handle should be parallel with the gas supply line when in the “ON” position.

5. Press and hold in the Push-to-Start Button for approximately three (3) seconds. Release the button and open the cylinder door. The cylinder should stop rotating within seven (7) seconds after the door is opened 3″ (7.5 cm) plus or minus 1/4″ (0.635 cm). If the cylinder does not stop rotating, adjust the cylinder door interlock.

6. Load the tumbler with clothes or clean rags.

7. Start the tumbler and check the burner flame; adjust the gas inlet shutter if necessary.

8. Check the airflow switch operation by opening the lint panel. The heating system should shut off when the lint panel is opened approximately 1-1/2″ (3.81 cm). Adjust if necessary.

9. Turn off the tumbler.

10. Check the airflow switch operation again by opening the lint panel. Heating systems should shut off when the lint panel is opened approximately 6″ (15.24 cm) with a full load.

Manual Dual Timer Tumbler:

1. Set the temperature selector to HIGH and set the drying and cool-down selectors to their maximum settings.

2. Press and hold in the Push-to-Start Button for approximately three (3) seconds. The motor will start, the heat system will turn on, the drying indicator will light, and the drying selector will rotate counterclockwise.

3. When the drying selector reaches zero (0), the heat system will shut off, the drying indicator will turn off, the cooling indicator will light, and the cooling selector will rotate counterclockwise.

4. When the cooling selector reaches zero (0), the motor will stop and the cooling indicator will turn off, indicating the drying cycle is finished.

Coin Operated Tumbler:

1. Set the temperature selector to HIGH.

2. Insert the required amount of coins.

3. Press and hold in the Push-to-Start Button for approximately three (3) seconds. The motor will start and the heat system will turn on.

4. Near the end of the cycle, a preset 2 1/2 minute cool-down cycle will start.

5. When the metered time expires, the motor will stop, indicating the drying cycle is finished.

Electronic Control Tumbler:

The tumbler comes equipped with Electronic Control, which gives the owner a variety of programming options. To learn how to use the Electronic Control, consult the supplemental manual.

NOTICE: Both air inlet shutters on the burner must be adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system for proper combustion and maximum efficiency. Before adjusting, ensure all lint is removed from the lint compartment and lint screen.

1. Unlock and open the access door.

2. Start the tumbler and check the flame pattern. A correct air and gas mixture is indicated if the flame pattern is primarily blue, with small yellow tips, and bends to the right of the heater section. Too little air is indicated if the flame is yellow, lazy, and smoky.

3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen the air inlet shutter adjusting screw.

4. Open or close the air shutter as necessary to obtain the proper flame intensity.

5. After the air shutter is adjusted for the proper flame, tighten the air shutter adjusting screw securely.

6. If the shutter is correctly adjusted but the flame pattern is straight up, it indicates insufficient primary air is flowing through the tumbler and the airflow switch is improperly set. A flame pattern that flares to the right and left indicates no air is flowing through the tumbler.

Air Flow Switch Adjustment:

WARNING: Air flow switch operation may be affected by a clogged lint screen, lack of make-up air, or obstructions in ducts. These conditions must be checked and corrected before adjusting the switch.

The counterweight should be adjusted so airflow will force the disc away from the cabinet when the lint panel is opened 6 inches (15.24 cm) with a full load. To adjust, depress the spring clip and move the counterweight toward the disc to make it MORE sensitive, or away from the disc to make it LESS sensitive. Test by opening the lint panel until the switch operates at the correct distance.

Loading Door Switch Adjustment:

1. Start the tumbler.

2. Slowly open the loading door. The cylinder and heating system should stop when the door is open 3″ (7.5 cm) plus or minus 1/4″ (0.635 cm).

3. Slowly close the loading door. The switch should close with an audible “click” at the same distance.

4. If it does not close correctly, close the door completely, loosen the lower screw on the switch coupler, rotate the coupler COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it stops, tighten the screw, and re-test.

Cylinder Door Strike Adjustment:

The door strike must be adjusted to have sufficient tension. Proper adjustment is when 8 to 15 pounds (35.6 N – 66.7 N) of pull is required to open the door. To adjust, open the door, loosen the jamnut, and turn the door strike screw in or out as required. Retighten the jamnut.

Drive V-Belt Adjustment:

WARNING: Disconnect power to the tumbler before performing this operation. The guard MUST be reinstalled after adjustment.

Proper tension is when the belt can be depressed approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) with light thumb pressure midway between the sheave and motor pulley. To adjust, loosen the adjusting bolt holding the idler housing assembly. To tighten, loosen the lower nut and turn the bolt up. To loosen, loosen the top nut and turn the bolt down. Tighten nuts after adjustment. The upper poly V-belt is self-adjusting.
