3. Tumbler and Basket Drive System
There are two (2) 5 HP tumbler drive motors. Each motor drives one of the 2-inch diameter tumbler drive
shafts, and the motors spin simultaneously so that ALL four (4) sets drive wheels work together to spin the
tumbler.
Each motor is connected to the drive shaft by two (2) “A” section V-belts, driving a shaft-mounted (5.6 to
ratio) gear reducer. This produces a tumbler shaft speed of 200 RPM to 205 RPM and a tumbler speed of
31.5 RPM. Proper tension is maintained on the V-belts by tightening the gear reducer turnbuckle support.
The oil in each gear reducer must be replaced every six (6) months by 1.4 liters of I.S.O. viscosity Grade
460 gear oil.

Servicing the Drive System
a. Removing a Drive Wheel
The drive wheels are removed through the front and back panels of the dryer, not through the sides. The
front loading door and back loading door panels are hinged at the top. Remove the bolts holding these
panels to tumbler section frame and swing the panel out. The two (2) 1/4-inch poly-flo tubes connected to
the load door piston have to be removed to allow the panel to swing up far enough out to get access to the
drive wheels. Likewise, the following electrical disconnections must be performed (refer to page 32).
