INSTALLATION
Before you start:
Be sure your dryer vent system has been thoroughly cleaned from the
back of the dryer to the outside termination hood. We recommend
using the
results. The LintEater has proven to be the leading dryer vent cleaning
system.
We also recommend the use of "All Metal" venting, either rigid or
aluminum flex. If you have white vinyl or foil flex attached to your dryer,
we strongly recommend you take this opportunity to replace it with
"All Metal" venting.
Step 1:
Mounting the LintGard Monitor to the wall:
Vent Cap
1. Choose a visible location on the back wall above dryer or on the
side wall near dryer if space is limited on back wall.
Note: The LintGard monitor must be mounted at least 2 feet away from
"VentTap" fitting.
2. Install screw in top hole of monitor until snug. Do Not Tighten.
3. Level monitor by centering bubble between lines on level vial.
4. Install second screw in center of bottom hole. Tighten mounting
screws while holding monitor level. Re-level if necessary.
5. Fill "Main Reservoir" by:
- Loosen "Cap Plug" 1½ turns by turning counterclockwise
- Open "Fill Valve" by turning counterclockwise
Note: If oil does not appear in "Clear Sight Tube," loosen plug more.
- Close "Fill Valve" when gage oil stops rising in "Clear Sight Tube. "
- Close "Cap Plug. " Tighten securely by hand.
6. Use "Zero Adjust Knob" to fine adjust oil level to zero.
- Turn knob "Counter Clockwise"
- Turn knob "Clockwise"
Step 2:
Attach VentTap Fitting:
1. Disconnect dryer duct from back of dryer.
2. Use pointed object or 5/16 drill bit to make hole in duct close
to dryer as shown (within 12 inches from back of dryer). Install
VentTap on "top" of vent for horizontal installations. Needle nose
pliers work best for making hole in aluminum flex by twisting pliers
back & forth while applying slight pressure.
Note: Be sure hole does not interfere with reconnection of exhaust duct
to back of dryer.
3. Install VentTap fitting through vent, place felt washer on outside of
vent then plastic washer. Tighten nut securely.
