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.
Control the Humidity
Using TurboDryers to speed the rate of evaporation in a building
usually causes the humidity to rise immediately. When this oc-
curs, the air movement becomes less effective and the rate of
drying slows. It is vital that TurboDryers be used with adequate
dehumidification. To help control mold growth, keep indoor hu-
midity below 60% Rh. If possible, maintain indoor humidity below
45% Rh. This may require the use of DrizAir Refrigerant Dehu-
midifiers. Even lower humidity (25-40% Rh) will speed the drying
of dense materials such as lumber, and is possible with Dri-Eaz
Desiccant Dehumidifiers.
To improve drying, close off the area being dried from the rest of
structure. Regulate the heating or air conditioning system at 68-
80°F (20-27°C). When dehumidifiers are not available, run ex-
haust fans in the attic, kitchen and bathroom to remove some
humidity. If outdoor air is very dry, open some windows or doors
at least slightly. Use a thermo-hygrometer such as the DHT200
or DHT600 to determine the relative humidity.
Check if Materials are Dry
Monitor the moisture condition of wet materials with moisture
meters like the HydroSensor, Moisture Counter, and Moisture
Pro. To check how completely materials have dried out, compare
your readings to readings you take on similar materials you know
are dry.
Cooling & Ventilation
Over-heated rooms can be cooled with high-volume airflow from
a TurboDryer. Place the airmover on the floor or other flat sur-
face and direct the air from cooler areas or the outdoors. Use the
kickstand or the 45-90 degree tilt feature to elevate the snout
and circulate cool air throughout the room.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and am-
perage for the unit. Set the switch at the desired speed.
Check for proper operation before leaving the unit unat-
tended.
2. Do not move or carry the TurboDryer when it is running.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
TurboDryers are designed to operate on a 115V/60 Hz electrical
connection. Make sure that the electrical outlet is grounded and
that all safety precautions are taken.
MAINTENANCE
Always turn off the power before performing maintenance proce-
dures. All the service procedures below are to be executed with
the unit unplugged. Perform before each use or as needed.
INSPECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: Inspect the electrical cord for
damage at regular intervals. Periodically, remove the housing
and inspect internal wiring for bare wires, insecure fasteners,
and discoloration. Remove and repair any damaged wiring as
needed. Failure to do so may lead to electrical shock or a fire
hazard.
CLEAN AIR INTAKES: Clean off any accumulated lint or other
materials from the air inlet side-screens. A buildup will reduce
the airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a
fire hazard.
CLEAN EXTERIOR: Clean the housing with mild detergent and
water. Bring back the original shine with a vinyl cleaner and pol-
ish like those used on automobile plastics.
EXTERIOR INSPECTION: Evaluate exterior components and
make sure they are properly installed. Listen to the unit for ab-
normal sounds. Repair or replace components as needed.
Periodic Maintenance (as needed)
Make sure unit is unplugged and the wheel has stopped. Re-
move four screws to remove each side screen. This will permit
access to motor and wheel for cleaning.
CLEAN COMPONENTS: Use compressed air or a vacuum to
remove lint and dust from blower wheel, motor and side screens.
DO NOT WET MOTOR OR WIRING: To prevent damage to
electrical components, do not use a hose or pressure washer to
clean a TurboDryer. If electrical components do become wet, dry
them immediately.
MOTOR BEARINGS: The bearings on all Dri-Eaz TurboDryers
are permanently lubricated. Do not oil.
