OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Note that the Velo can be placed in a variety of positions for
drying and air circulation. See Fig. B for details.

1. Unwrap the cord and plug the unit into a standard 115V

GFCI-protected outlet. CAUTION: Be sure switch is in the
off position before connecting unit to power outlet.

2. Direct the Velo outlet toward the surface to be dried.
TIP: On the Velo Pro (F505), the airflow may be adjusted by

pressing the Up or Down arrow on the speed control (Fig. D). A
digital readout shows the approximate amp draw. Use this value
to maximize the number of Velos you can place on a single
circuit.

3. When surface is dry to the touch, switch the unit off and

reposition the unit in the next area to be dried.

4. When finished, unplug the unit and re-wrap the cord in the

cord wrap.
