w. Inspect the Dryer Transport Rollers. The dryer transport rollers must be
clean and free from excessive bowing.
(1)
Clean with a damp cloth or a plastic abrasive material such as Scotch-
Brite.
(2)
Be sure the setscrews are tight.
(3) Check the transport roller pulleys for signs of wear. Be sure the pulley is
secure to the shaft. Even a slightly flat pulley is cause for replacement.
(4)
Check the six O-rings for signs of wear. Replace if necessary.
(5) Check the blocks and supports for cleanliness. Clean with cotton swabs
and warm water.
(6)
Be sure that all transport rollers are properly seated.
x. Inspect the Dryer Temperatures. The dryer operating temperatures can
range from 90 to 150F (32.5 to 65.6C) depending upon the ambient conditions.
(1) To minimize dryer marks, set the dryer thermostat to operate at the
lowest temperature consistent with good drying.
(2) If the dryer does not come up to the proper temperature within 10 to 15
minutes or does not maintain a fairly constant temperature while processing a full load
of film, it is possible that one or both of the heater elements are not functioning. Refer
