Choose an Operating Position
The Ace is specifically designed to operate in any one of mul-
tiple positions. Each position utilizes a different angle to direct
airflow exactly where you need it for effective drying. The ar-
row on the side of the unit indicates direction of airflow.
Tilt Forward – Set the Ace on its
narrow feet (handle on top). Tilt the
Ace forward until the unit rests at
an angle on its lower legs. This
position creates laminar airflow
along the floor in front of the unit.
Tilt Back – Set the Ace on its nar-
row feet (handle on top). Tilt the
Ace back until the unit rests at an
angle on its lower legs. This posi-
tion directs air at an angle for dry-
ing elevated materials.
Face Down – Set the Ace on all
four legs with the switch-side grill
facing down. This position directs
air down at the floor for focused
drying.
Face Up – Set the Ace on all four
legs with the switch-side grill facing
up. This position directs air straight
up for drying ceilings.
Upright – Set the Ace square on its
wide set of feet (handle on side) to
direct air across a room parallel to
the floor for ventilation.
Stack for Operation – Set one Ace
TurboDryer on its wide feet (handle
on the side) on a stable, level sur-
face. Place a second Ace Tur-
boDryer on top so that its rubber
feet fit into the impressions on the
bottom unit. Always use caution
when stacking for operation to
avoid damage or injury from a fal-
ling unit.

Control the Humidity
Using TurboDryers to speed the rate of evaporation in a build-
ing usually causes the humidity to rise immediately. When this
occurs, the air movement becomes less effective and the rate
of drying slows. The increased humidity can also cause sec-
ondary damage to the structure and its contents. Therefore, it
is vital that TurboDryers be used with adequate dehumidifica-
tion. To prevent secondary damage and help control mold
growth, keep indoor humidity below 60% Rh. If possible, main-
tain indoor humidity below 45% Rh. This may require the use
of DrizAir dehumidifiers. Even lower humidity (25-40% Rh) will
speed the drying of dense materials such as lumber, and is
possible with Dri-Eaz desiccant or low grain refrigerant dehu-
midifiers.
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
exhaust 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
Dri-Eaz DriHawk T-700 to determine the relative humidity.
Check if Materials are Dry
Monitor the moisture condition of wet materials with meters like
the Dri-Eaz HydroSensor, Moisture Counter, and Moisture Pro.
To check how completely materials have dried, compare your
readings to those you take on similar materials that you know
to be completely dry.
Cooling & Ventilation
Over-heated rooms can be cooled with high-volume airflow
from an Ace TurboDryer. Place the unit on the floor or other
flat surface and direct the air from cooler areas or the out-
doors.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and
amperage for the unit.
2. Place the unit in the desired operating position. The arrow
on the side of the unit indicates direction of airflow.
3. Set the switch at the desired speed. Setting I is for low
speed and setting II is for high speed.
4. Check for proper operation before leaving the unit unat-
tended. Do not move or carry the TurboDryer when it is
running.

Stack for Storage – Ace TurboDry-
ers interlock for easy stacking, stor-
age and transport. Place units grill-
to-grill. Rotate units until the legs
are not aligned.
