TO REPLACE THE FRONT TUMBLER BEARING
NOTE: Illustration represents models AD-30 through AD-50. Models AD-15 and AD-25 use a 1
1/4” diameter flange bearing. The same procedure applies to both.
1. Remove tumbler pulley and bearing box (follow “TO REPLACE THE REAR TUMBLER BEARING”
steps 1 through 4).
2. Loosen set screws on rear tumbler bearing.
NOTE: Check tension of belts and alignment of tumbler before operating dryer.
3. Using a whell puller gently push the tumbler shaft torwards the front through the front tumbler bearing.
NOTE: An alternative method would be to place a block of wood on the end of the tumbler shaft
and strike it with a hevy hammer. To prevent damage to the shaft the wheel puller method is
preferred.
4. Remove the three (3) nuts securing the bearing to the dryer back and remove the bearing.
