HOW TO USE THE AIRPATH

The AirPath is designed to blow air across wet surfaces for
speedy drying. The high-volume airflow increases the rate of
evaporation. The AirPath will dry an area approximately 12 ×
12 ft. (3.6 × 3.6 m). Place the AirPath in the center of the area.
When that section is dry, move it to the center of the next
section to be dried. Ensure that all wet surfaces receive good
airflow. Open interior doors to maintain good air circulation.
Doors may need to be braced to prevent them from blowing
shut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up

1. Wheel casters are in a separate bag. Flip unit over so the
bottom faces up. Take casters out of bag and screw
casters (with flat washer then lock washer and then
caster) into the leg openings on the bottom of the housing.

2. Keep the air inlet and outlet grills clean and free of debris.
With the unit unplugged and turned off, look inside the fan
for any debris that has fallen in the fan chamber; carefully
dislodge debris if present.

outlet. Caution! Be sure the unit is turned off before

12 × 12 ft. section to be dried.

2. Set the switch at the desired speed. Setting I is for low

of drying time per section. If the room is larger than
12 × 12 ft. then move the unit to the center of the next
12 × 12 ft. section of room for drying (see Drying Tips for
instructions).

3. Check for proper operation before leaving the unit

unattended. Do not move or carry the AirPath when it is
running. CAUTION! Do not lift the AirPath while the unit is
turned on, as it could result in injury.

INSTRUCCIONES DE USO DEL AIRPATH

El AirPath ha sido diseñado para soplar aire sobre superficies
mojadas para agilizar el secado. El flujo de aire de alto
volumen incrementa la frecuencia de evaporación. El AirPath
secará un área de aproximadamente 12 × 12 pies (3,6 × 3,6
m). Coloque el AirPath en el centro del área. Cuando esa
sección esté seca, mueva la unidad al centro de la siguiente
sección que desee secar. Asegúrese de que todas las
superficies mojadas reciban un flujo de aire bueno. Abra las
puertas interiores para mantener una buena circulación de
aire. Es posible que las puertas necesiten sujetarse para evitar
que se cierren.
