The model and serial numbers for the SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE will be found on the nameplate as shown on the rear of the tumbler or underneath the door hinge.

Upon delivery, visually inspect the crate, carton, and parts for any visible shipping damage. If there are signs of damage, have the carrier note the condition on shipping papers before signing the receipt, or advise the carrier as soon as it is discovered. A written claim should be filed with the carrier immediately if articles are damaged or missing.

Remove the crate and protective cover as soon as possible and check items listed on the packing list.

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

For an electric SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE, you will need to obtain one circuit breaker locally.

Floor: The SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE 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.

For maximum efficiency and minimum lint accumulation, the air from the SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE must be exhausted to the outdoors by the shortest possible route. Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper operation. All elbows should be the sweep type. 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 the 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 duct length exceeds this, the diameter must be increased.

Collector Venting:

A main collector duct may be used if sized correctly. The collector duct must be tapered, and individual tumbler ducts must enter the collector duct at a 45° angle in the direction of airflow. Never connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle to the collector duct. The collector system must be designed so the static back pressure measured 12 inches from the exhaust thimble does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker on the rear of the tumbler.

The SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE is a forced air exhausted tumbler and requires provisions for make-up air to replace the exhausted air. The recommended make-up air opening is 144 square inches (928 sq. cm) for a 30-pound tumbler.

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

NOTE: DO NOT use aluminum wire.

The SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE 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 the electrical supply is coming from a three-phase service, DO NOT connect a “Stinger Leg” to a single-phase machine.

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.

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. For three-phase units, check the electrical service phase sequence.

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

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.

b. If the cylinder rotates counterclockwise, disconnect the power and reverse any two leads at the connections.

Positioning:

The tumbler may be removed from its shipping skid before or during moving to the installation location. To remove from the skid, unscrew 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. 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 and the tumbler does not rock.

Leveling:

The SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE 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 that bottom rib. The side-to-side level should be checked by placing a level on the front and rear of the top panel.

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.

The enclosure can touch the tumbler top and side panels. Be aware that there may be local codes and ordinances which must be complied with.

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

IMPORTANT: Install the SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE with sufficient clearance for servicing and operating. A minimum of 24″ (61 cm) is required at the rear, with 36″ (91.4 cm) recommended for maintenance purposes.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, install lockable doors to prevent public access to the rear of the tumblers.

Removal of Existing Timing Cam:

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.

Installation of New Timing Cam:

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.

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

The air flow switch on the SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE is set at the factory for proper operation. However, if there is a problem, it should be adjusted as follows:

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

IMPORTANT: The air flow switch disc must remain closed during operation. If it opens and closes during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient air flow through the tumbler.

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 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 correctly.

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 and continue moving the counterweight away from the disc until it operates as described.

For Electric Models like the SPEED QUEEN SCB30CE: If the switch remains open, or pops open and closed during the cycle, the heating system will shut off. The cylinder and fan will continue to operate even though the air flow switch is malfunctioning.

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 the air flow at installation.

The loading door switch turns off the tumbler anytime the loading door is opened. To adjust the switch:

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 the loading door switch operation.

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, and turn the door strike screw in or out as required. Retighten the jamnut.
