• E-Stops are pulled out.
• Make sure the sprockets are aligned correctly.
• Power has been supplied to the system.
• Turn all switches on the TopDry Terminal to OFF.
• Turn the Control Power switch to ON.
• Push the Dryer Power Start button.
To test the chute controller:
NOTE: When the cover is removed, the damper switch (B) must be depressed for the system to
operate during testing.
