AIR MOVER MANUAL
TEMPEST TYPHOON
Congratulations on your purchase of a Dry Air Technology Air Mover. Dry Air Technology Air Movers are conveniently small and extremely lightweight yet powerful enough to create airflow beyond your expectations. They have been engineered to be durable, long lasting and high performing. These air movers have been rigorously tested for heavy-duty us.
Your new unit was designed to provide the maximum performance. Please read this owner’s manual carefully to insure that you get the most from your unit.
SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION!
Unit operates on alternating current: 110/120 volt, 60 Hz or 220/240 volt, 50 Hz
Do not operate your air mover with a cut or frayed power cord. Do not unplug your unit by pulling on its cord. Grasp the plug firmly and pull it out of the wall socket or power receptacle. The plug has a safety ground pin installed that must not be removed. If the pin is damaged or missing, have the power cord replaced at once. Visually inspect the power cord before each use. Ignoring these safety precautions may result in a fire or an electric shock.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device. Never operate electrical equipment in standing water. There is a shock hazard. Never drop the unit. Sudden and severe impact may result in damage to internal components. Your air mover should never be operated with the safety grills removed. Personal injury may result. Drop cloths or other loose fabrics can be drawn against the unit thereby restricting airflow. This
condition may cause the unit to overheat. Keep the air inlet clear of any obstructions. Save the shipping carton in case your air mover must be returned for repair. This unit should never be serviced or cleaned while it is plugged into a live electrical power source.
WARNING: Ignoring these safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please inspect your unit upon receipt for any freight damages. Be sure to keep all original packaging. Original packaging will help protect unit from freight damage upon return.
If you discover any damages during inspection, please contact Dry Air Technology. The unit as packaged is ready to be put into service. If you have a 220v model, attach the appropriate
plug for your region. Inspect the unit completely for any shipping damage. Place the unit on the ground or on a very stable
platform. Plug the unit into a grounded alternating current circuit and switch the unit on.
MAINTENANCE
When turning on equipment for use, always check to make sure the unit is running properly. When the unit is first turned on, check for excessive vibration or noise. This would indicate a major
problem. If your unit is running abnormally, troubleshoot to find the cause and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. Do not allow the unit to run when problem persists. A simple adjustment problem can turn into complete motor failure if not corrected.
Warning
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning or servicing.
