Safety Information
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or
around the unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is
inaccessible to children when not attended.
Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding
plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an
essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or
fire.
Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a
damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire haz-
ards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a cord of the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able
to deliver the appropriate voltage to the unit.
When Using Outdoors: When using outdoors, connect only to
an outlet provided with a Ground Fault Interrupting (GFI) device,
and do not use an extension cord, to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. Do not expose to rain.
Do Not Use Speed Control Device: To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not use TurboDryers with a solid-state speed
control device.
Handle With Care: Do not drop or throw the unit. Rough treat-
ment can damage the components or wiring and create a haz-
ardous condition.
Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable,
level surface, like the floor or a strong counter, so it cannot fall
and cause injury.
Secure During Transport: When transporting in a vehicle, se-
cure the unit to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle oc-
cupants.

Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing
water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do
not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components
become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit.
Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block air intakes, as may
occur if operated too close to draperies or similar materials. This
may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical
hazard.
Keep Out Dust and Dirt: Do not allow dust, dirt, or other parti-
cles to be drawn into the air intakes. Dirt in the motor can cause
it to overheat, resulting in a fire or electrical hazard. If the motor
gets dirty, clean it using an air hose.
Allow Repair Only by Qualified Person: Do not attempt to dis-
assemble or repair the unit if you are not qualified to do so. You
may handle some maintenance and troubleshooting, but make
sure that more complex problems are handled by an authorized
service technician. For information about authorized repair, call
Dri-Eaz at (360) 757-7776.
HOW TO USE TURBODRYERS
TurboDryer airmovers are designed to blow air across wet sur-
faces for speed drying. They are especially good for drying floors
because they create a flat ribbon of air. High-volume airflow will
increase the rate of evaporation, help prevent mold growth, and
reduce the risk of additional moisture damage. Moving air will
improve evaporation by removing a boundary layer of saturated
air that hangs near wet surfaces. TurboDryers whisk away this
moist air and replace it with dryer air.
Positioning TurboDryers
When drying in a building, place at least one TurboDryer per
room, or one for every 200 square feet. Place as many as
needed for maximum airflow across all wet areas of the floor.
