TurboDryers are high-performance airmovers for speed-drying of building structures and contents.
They are designed for a balance of static pressure and airflow, as well as durability and ease of use.
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 hazards. 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
treatment can damage the components or wiring and create
a hazardous 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,
secure the unit to prevent sliding and possible injury to
vehicle occupants.
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 elec-
trical 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 to 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
particles 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
disassemble 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
surfaces 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 mould growth, and reduce the risk of additional
moisture damage. Moving air will improve evaporation by re-
moving 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.
Ensure that all wet surfaces receive good airflow. Open inter-
ior 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 occurs, 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 mould
