Use and Operation

Dri-Eaz TurboDryers are high-performance airrnovers that promote
the evaporation of moisture from materials in order to speed the dry-
ing process. They are durable and easy to operate, utilizing an effec-
tive balance of static pressure and airflow.

PLACING YOUR TURBO DRYERS

When drying the interior of a building, use at least one TurboDryer
per water-damaged room, or one every 200 square feet. Try to get
airflow to all wet surfaces. Open interior doors to improve air circula-
tion, and brace doors to prevent them

from blowing

shut.

I

A WARNING I

Do not move or carry a TurboDryer while under operation. When the unit
is in motion, the powerful airflow is hard to control, and can produce
rapid and unpredictable movement.

Do not allow children to play with or around TurboDryers. If they lift or
get a unit off balance, the powerful airflow can cause the TurboDryer to
move rapidly, risking injury.

OPERATING YOUR TURBODRYER

1

Locate the electrical cord and plug into a standard 3-prong outlet

2 Set the switch to the desired speed. based on amp draw as fisted

by the switch on the side control panel.

THE AUXILIARY OUTLET

You can "daisy chain" or interconnect up to three Sahara Pro X3
units to customize your drying needs. The unit can conduct a
maximum of 12 amps when it is turned off or 8 amps when it is
turned on.

RED CIRCUIT BREAKER SWITCH

The primary purpose of the circuit breaker is to protect the machine. It
turns the unit off when more than 12 amps are run through the on-unit
circuit.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

The GFCI protects the user. Should it detect a sudden "ground fault,"
the GFCI will interrupt the electric current. The GFCI will also trip
when a short circuit or overload occurs. If the GFCI "trips," unplug the
unit and look for potential hazards (standing water, frayed cord, etc.)
that might cause an electrical surge. Relocate the unit and plug into a
different outlet. Then push the "Reset" button and check to make
