Motor Specifications & Electrical Requirements
This BD PRO-33 has a 2-speed, 115-volt, 60 Hz induction motor with a grounding conductor. Ther-
mally protected, it will automatically shut down if overheated. The motor will restart
automatically once cooled, for as long as it is plugged into a power source.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This air mover is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Grounding Instructions
The BD PRO-33 must be grounded. Should it malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into a properly installed and grounded outlet, in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
CORDS
• Use three-pronged adapters that are UL and CE approved and with Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (G.F.C.I.).
• Do not use cords that show any kind of wear or damage.
• Cords are not covered by warranty.
WARNING! The Total amperage of the BD PRO-33 Air Mover plus all other devic-
es plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 12 amps.
WARNING! Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in the risk
of an electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If
plug does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a
temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

Introduction
Water damage projects require effective air movers that work effectively and efficiently to
deliver results. The BD PRO-33 Air Mover from BLUE DRI PRO® is among the most effective
and efficient products at helping water damage restoration professionals achieve outstand-
ing results. The BD PRO-33 is tough and fully capable of doing its job in rugged commercial
and industrial environments.
Product Features
The BD PRO-33 combines easy maneuverability with professional power. Designed for
restoration contractors, this air mover is half the size of any other in its class, yet never fails
to get the job done. The BD PRO-33 uses only 2.9 amps and an on-board GFCI outlet, allow-
ing up to 4 units to be daisy chained to a single standard 15-amp household circuit.
Conveniently designed to produce airflow at three different angles: horizontally, 45°, and 90°.
The BD PRO-33 is made using extremely durable rotationally folded plastic, which protects
the powerful 1/3 HP motor from being damaged by moisture. This commercial air mover is
extremely easy to carry and maneuver due to its lightweight size and compact design.
This is a unit that can be left on overnight for days until the job is completed and dry.
Note: The unit should not be left unattended for any length of time.
Interlocking contact points at air intake grills and exhaust points allows the Vent line of air
movers to be stacked securely up to 5 units high. The sturdy handle serves as a power cord
manager as well as a way to mount in trucks and on storage walls. Overall, this simple piece
of equipment has a lot to offer.
