What materials are required for installing a gas-powered SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The following materials should be obtained locally:

For all drying tumblers:

• One circuit breaker.

For Gas Drying Tumblers Only:

• One gas shut-off valve for the gas service line to each tumbler.


What are the floor, layout, and venting facility requirements for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

FLOOR

The SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG 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, as doing so would prevent 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.


What are the requirements for the exhaust ducts on a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Do not install elbows with a radius less than shown in the table in the manual. Exhaust ducts must be assembled so interior surfaces are smooth to reduce the accumulation of lint. Do not use sheet metal screws to join vent sections.

Exhaust ducts shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.

Where an exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or ceiling, an opening having a diameter of 4 inches (10.2 cm) larger than the diameter of the exhaust duct shall be provided, with the duct centered in the opening. When ducts pass through walls, ceilings, floors, or partitions, the space around the duct shall be sealed with non-combustible material.

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.


How is the equivalent length of venting calculated for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

For maximum efficiency and performance, it is preferred to exhaust the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG 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. If the equivalent length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the maximum allowable equivalent length, the diameter of a round duct must be increased by 10% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m). The cross-section area of a rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m).

The table below shows how to determine equivalent venting:

DUCT DIAMETER EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF STRAIGHT DUCT
6″ (15.2 cm) One 90° elbow = 7′ (2.1 m)
8″ (20.3 cm) One 90° elbow = 9.3′ (2.83 m)
10″ (25.4 cm) One 90° elbow = 11.6′ (3.5 m)
12″ (30.5 cm) One 90° elbow = 14′ (4.3 m)
Equivalent Length (feet) (m) = 1.17 x Duct Diameter (inches) (cm)

What are the requirements for collector venting if multiple SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG tumblers are installed?

While it is preferable to exhaust tumblers individually to outdoors, a main collector duct may be used if it is sized properly. This should be increased if the collector length exceeds 20 feet (6.1 m).

The collector duct may be rectangular in cross-section, as long as the area is not reduced. Provisions should be made for lint removal and cleaning of the collector duct.

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. Doing so will cause excessive back pressure, resulting in poor performance. Never connect two tumbler exhaust ducts directly across from each other at the point of entry to the collector duct.

The collector system must be designed so static back pressure measured 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the exhaust thimble does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker on the rear of the tumbler. This should be measured with all tumblers running that are vented into the collector.


What are the make-up air requirements for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG is a forced air exhausted tumbler and requires provisions for make-up air to replace the air exhausted by the tumbler.

The manufacturer’s recommended make-up air opening for each tumbler is 144 square inches (928 sq. cm). At a minimum, tumblers must have at least 1 sq. in. (2.54 sq. cm) of opening for every 1000 BTU/hr (252 Kcal/hr) of input rating for proper combustion.

Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors can reduce air movement by approximately 40%. The opening must compensate for the area taken up by louvers.

Make-up air openings for a room containing tumbler(s) and/or gas-fired hot water heaters or other gravity-vented appliances must be increased sufficiently to prevent downdrafts in any vents when all tumblers are in operation. Do not locate gravity-vented appliances between the tumbler(s) and make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the tumbler(s), increase the area of the work by 25% to compensate for any restriction in air movement.


What are the warnings regarding solvent gases and exhaust locations for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Solvent Gases: Solvent gases and vapors from dry cleaning machines create acids when drawn through the heater of a drying tumbler. These acids are corrosive to the drying tumbler as well as to the laundry load being dried. Be sure make-up air is free of solvent gases and vapors. If the dry cleaning machines are in the same area as the tumbler, then the tumbler make-up air must come from a source free of solvent gases and vapors.

Exhaust Location: 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.

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


What is the rule for when the exhaust duct of a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG pierces a combustible wall or ceiling?

Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or ceiling, an opening having a diameter four inches (10.2 cm) larger than the diameter of the exhaust duct shall be provided, and the exhaust duct centered within the opening.

What are the grounding instructions for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG drying tumbler must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The drying tumbler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, if electrical supply is coming from a three phase service, DO NOT connect a “Stinger Leg” to a single phase machine.


How do I make the electrical connections for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

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. This will make it possible to disconnect each tumbler for maintenance purposes.

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 instructed separately.

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


How do I check the electrical service phase sequence on a three-phase SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Follow these steps to check the phase sequence for three-phase models only:

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 power and reverse any two leads at the connections.


How do I position and remove the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG from its shipping skid?

The SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG tumbler may be removed from the skid before moving to the installation location or moved while still attached to the skid. To remove the tumbler from the skid, unscrew the four shipping capscrews (one at each corner). The lint panel door will have to be removed in order to remove the 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.


How do I level the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Each SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG 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.


What are the general gas requirements for the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The size of the gas service pipe is dependent upon many variables (lengths, tees, etc.). Specific pipe size information should be obtained from a gas supplier. It is important that equal gas pressure be maintained at all tumbler gas connections. This can best be done by installing a one-inch pipe gas loop.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, if the tumbler is to be connected to Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) gas, a vent to the outdoors must be provided in the room where the tumbler is installed.


What is the purpose of a gas loop piping installation for multiple SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG tumblers?

Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated in the manual to equalize gas pressure for all tumblers connected to a single gas service. Other gas-using appliances should be connected upstream from the loop. The minimum pipe size to the tumbler is 1/2″ (1.27 cm).


What is the required gas line pressure for a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Line pressure must be maintained at 6-1/2″ ± 1-1/2″ water column inches (1.62 ± .37 kPa) for Natural Gas, or 11″ ± .3″ water column inches (2.74 ± .07 kPa) for L.P. Gas, with all gas appliances running (tumblers, water heaters, space heaters, furnace, etc.).

An in-line pressure regulator may be required on Natural Gas models if the line pressure exceeds eight water column inches (2.00 kPa) pressure with all gas appliances firing.


How is the main gas supply pipe diameter determined for multiple appliances including the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

To determine the correct main supply pipe diameter, you must perform two calculations:

1. Equivalent Length: This is the total length of the main gas supply pipe from the gas meter to the far end of the tumbler dryers.

2. Total BTU/HR: This is the sum of the BTU/HR of all tumblers and other appliances being fed by the main gas supply pipe.

Using these two values, you can find the required main supply pipe diameter from the “GAS PIPE SIZE REQUIRED” table in the manual.


What are the required gas pipe sizes for a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG based on BTU/hr and equivalent length?

The following table shows gas pipe sizes required for 1,000 BTU Natural Gas (.64 specific gravity) at 6.5 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure, based on a 0.3″ water column pressure drop for the given length.

GAS APPLIANCES TOTAL BTU/HR. (Kcal/hr) 25 FT. (7.63 m) 50 FT. (15.25 m) 75 FT. (22.88 m) 100 FT. (30.50 m) 125 FT. (38.13 m) 150 FT. (45.75 m)

How do I connect the gas piping to the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

Before connecting gas piping to the tumbler, make certain the gas service is the same as that specified on the nameplate. Natural Gas service must be supplied at 6.5 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure (1.62 ± .37 kPa). L.P. Gas service must be supplied at 11 ± .3 inch water column pressure (2.74 ± .07 kPa). If the gas service is not the same, DO NOT CONNECT THE GAS LINE; it will be necessary to convert the gas burner orifice and gas valve first.

Purge air and sediment from the gas service line before connecting it loosely to the tumbler. Purge the remaining air until the odor of gas is detected, then tighten the connection. Use pipe compound, resistant to the actions of L.P. gas, on all pipe threads.


How should I test for gas leaks on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

WARNING: Check all pipe connections, internal and external, for gas leaks using a soapy solution. To reduce the risk of explosion or fire, DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Gas connections should be checked annually for leakage.


What are the procedures for pressure testing the gas supply system connected to a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

WARNING: The following procedures must be followed for pressure testing:

• 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).

• The tumbler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).


What are the clearance requirements for building an enclosure around a SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

NOTICE: Clearance of the tumbler cabinet from combustible construction must be a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) at the top.

• A 0″ clearance is permitted for the first 4″ (10.16 cm) of the front top edge.

• The maximum clearance at the front top edge is 4″ (10.16 cm).

• A 0″ clearance is permitted at the sides.

• A minimum of 24″ (61 cm) is required at the rear, with 36″ (91.4 cm) recommended for maintenance purposes.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block airflow at the top rear of the tumbler with laundry, etc. Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the tumbler’s heat chamber.

IMPORTANT: Install tumblers with sufficient clearance for servicing and operating.


How do I light and shut down the gas ignition system on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

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.

Shutting Down the System:

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


What happens if the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG ignition control enters “lockout” mode, and how do I reset it?

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 cause the airflow switch to close. The tumbler will purge air for 18 seconds. Ignition will then start by 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 that the gas shut-off valve is in the “on” position, and return to step three of the lighting procedure.


How do I remove the existing timing cam on a coin-operated SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

1. Rotate the cam by hand until the “V” notch lines up beneath the ratchet tooth.

2. Insert a narrow screwdriver under the nylon cam, close to the clock shaft. Lift gently off the shaft. Make sure that pressure is directed upward and that the “V” notch clears the ratchet tooth.


How do I install a new timing cam on a coin-operated SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

1. Insert the drive into the timing cam with the wide prong in the wide hole of the cam.

2. Position the timing cam and drive fork over the timer shaft, aligning the timer flat with the drive fork and the “V” notch with one of the ratchet teeth.

3. Press the timing cam down firmly to seat the timing cam onto the motor shaft.

4. Remove all accumulated time by turning the cam counterclockwise until the switch shuts off. Apply moderate clockwise pressure to the fully seated timing cam and drive against the timing motor shaft. The meter must be advanced electrically for one cycle before an accurate measure of time can be made.


How is the cycle length determined for a coin-operated SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

To figure time increments, use this formula: Timer Motor Speed (60) divided by the number of pins on the cam = Cycle Length (minutes). Cams are available with 1 to 12 pins.

Example: 60 ÷ 5 (Pin cam) = 12 minute cycle.

No. of Pins in Cam Cycle Length (Minutes)

How do I adjust the main gas burner air shutter on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG for a proper flame?

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 inlet shutters be sure that 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 smokey.

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 a proper flame, tighten the air shutter adjusting screw securely.

6. If the shutter is correctly adjusted, but the flame pattern is straight up, 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.


What should I do if the air flow switch on my gas-powered SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG is not functioning correctly?

On Gas Models like the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG, if the air flow switch remains open, the entire unit will shut down when the Push-to-Start button is released. Once the tumbler starts and continues to run, a loss of air flow, a jammed air flow switch, or a bouncing air flow switch will shut the entire tumbler down.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, air flow switch operation may be affected by a clogged lint screen, lack of make-up air, obstructions in the vertical recirculation stack, or in the customer-installed main or collector ducts. These conditions must be checked and necessary corrections made before adjusting the air flow switch. Always adjust air flow at installation.


How do I adjust the air flow switch on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

NOTICE: The control panel must be in place and the access door closed before attempting to adjust the air flow switch.

The counterweight should be adjusted so air flow will force the disc away from the cabinet when the lint panel is opened 6 inches (15.24 cm) with a full load. Adjust as follows:

1. Load the tumbler.

2. Start the tumbler. Open the lint panel 6 inches (15.24 cm). The airflow disc should move away from the cabinet, opening the switch contacts and shutting off the heat system. This indicates proper operation and adjustment.

3. If the switch is not opening as described, it should be adjusted to be MORE sensitive. Depress the spring clip and move the counterweight toward the disc. Retest by opening the lint panel and continue moving the counterweight toward the disc until it operates as described.

4. If the switch opens BEFORE the lint panel is opened the proper distance, it should be adjusted to be LESS sensitive. Depress the spring clip and move the counterweight away from the disc. Retest by opening the lint panel and continue moving the counterweight away from the disc until it operates as described.


How do I adjust the loading door switch on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The loading door switch turns off the tumbler any time the loading door is opened. To adjust it, follow these steps:

1. Start the tumbler following operating instructions.

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 loading door switch should close with an audible “click” when the loading door is closed 3″ (7.5 cm) plus or minus 1/4″ (0.635 cm).

4. If the loading door switch does not close at the correct point:

a. Close the loading door completely.

b. Loosen the lower screw on the switch coupler and rotate the switch coupler COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it stops.

c. Tighten the lower screw on the switch coupler.

d. Return to step 1 to verify loading door switch operation.


How do I adjust the cylinder door strike on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

The door strike must be adjusted to have sufficient tension to hold the loading door closed against the force of the load tumbling against it. 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 on the door strike, and turn the door strike screw in or out as required. Retighten the jamnut.


How do I check and adjust the drive V-belt on the SPEED QUEEN JCB50CG?

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, disconnect power to the tumbler before performing this operation.
