REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
FILTERS:
(Procedures below must be performed regularly or as needed to protect dryer warranty status.)
FILTER CLEANING: Both the external and internal lters of the CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™
should be kept clean. If the lters become heavily coated with dirt or debris, it will reduce
the air output of your dryer and can cause damage to the motor or cause the motor to
overheat.
*Never operate the dryer without all lters in place.
To clean external lter: Vacuum or shake o dirt and hair daily. Filter may be rinsed in
water if necessary. Let lter dry completely before reinstalling on dryer.
To clean the internal motor lter of the CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™:
1. Unplug dryer.
2. Slide o the back cover of the dryer. This is a compression t and will come
o with a little eort.
3. Remove the lter from the internal lter housing.
4. Clean motor lter disk by vacuuming o hair and dirt, or wash lter gently
in cool water. Shake o excess water and allow to air dry completely.
(Replace lter if necessary)
5. Place the lter back in the lter housing.
6. Replace dryer back cover.
Any maintenance not explained in this manual should be performed by Double K
Industries or an Authorized Service Center. Call Double K Industries for the name of an

BRUSHES
Your CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ has one brush-type motor. The brushes should be
checked for wear after approximately 600 hours of use. If the carbon brushes are
worn shorter than 1/4 inch, the brushes should be replaced. Brushes may be ordered
from Double K Industries or an Authorized Service Center. Please be sure to specify
that your dryer is a 2000XL™, as the brushes are slightly dierent from one dryer
model to another.
To check and/or replace brushes:
1. Unplug electrical cord from wall outlet.
Disassembly:
2. Slide o the back cover from the dryer. This is a compression t and will come
o with a little eort.
3. Remove all screws on the outside of the dryer that hold the two halves of dryer
housing in place. Lay the dryer on its side while removing these screws. Remove
the O-ring on the snout of the dryer and lift the top half.
4. Each motor will be sitting in place inside the rubber silicone motor mounts.
Removing the rubber silicone motor mounts from the motor is not neces-
sary to replace brushes. The internal lter frame ts into slots on the inside
of the dryer housing. This piece can remain while changing brushes.
5. Disconnect motor power wires (see wiring diagram). Note where wires connect.
6. Motor: (a) Find the ag connector on the top of the brush assembly. There is a
wire leading to this connector. (b) Place a athead screwdriver with a ne tip
between the ag connector and the plastic brush housing. (c) Rock the screw-
driver back and forth and gently wedge the ag connector out of the brush
assembly. (d) Loosen the two brush assembly retainer bracket screws.
(e) Remove the brush assembly. (f)Replace the brush assembly with the new
one, making sure that the small tab on the bottom is tted onto the corre-
sponding slot on the motor frame. (g) Replace the brush assembly retainer
bracket and tighten the screws which hold it in place. (h) Attach the ag
connector to the new brush in the same position as the previous brush.
(i) Repeat these steps for the brush on the other side of the motor.
Reassembly:
7. Inspect the motor mount for cracks or damage -- replace if necessary.
Set the motor back into its original position in the dryer housing. The
motor mount has slots that t over corresponding alignment tabs on the
inside of the dryer housing. These slots and tabs must match up for proper
t and function. (Note: In the event that the motor mount is removed from
the motor, simply replace it by being mindful to align the contours of the
motor mount with corresponding contours on the motor housing.) Make
sure that the internal lter housing is in its appropriate slot before putting
the halves together.
8. Reattach the screws around the outside of the dryer making sure the two
halves are matching up.
9. After the two halves of the dryer housing have been put together, replace
internal lter and push the back cover onto the rear of the dryer. Always make
sure all lters are in place before operating dryer. Replace o-ring on snout.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! PLEASE READ
COMPLETELY BEFORE USING PRODUCT!
When using electrical appliances, especially in the presence of children or animals,
basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock, and personal injury, including but not limited to the following:
DO NOT TURN ON DRYER WITHOUT FIRST HOLDING THE DRYER HOSE, as the air
volume from the dryer can cause the hose to whip or move rapidly and may cause
injury.
1. Do not leave dryer OR animal unattended while in use.
2. Unplug unit when not in use.
3. Do not use extension cords with dryer.
4. Do not unplug unit by pulling on cord.
5. Do not expose dryer to rain or water.
6. Do not use or store dryer where it can fall or be pulled into tub, sink or standing
water. If dryer falls into water . . . UNPLUG IT . . . Do not reach into the water!
7. Unplug unit before attempting any maintenance or service.
8. Do not put any object into dryer openings.
9. Keep loose clothing, jewelry and hair away from dryer intake.
10. Do not direct dryer air towards eyes or ears of people or pets.
11. Never use dryer if it has a damaged cord or plug, has been dropped, damaged

children.
15. Do not use attachments not recommended by Double K Industries.
16. Do not operate without lters in place. Keep lters clean, as dirty lters limit air
intake and may damage the motor or cause overheating.

age of the electrical outlet is sucient for the amperage rating of the product.
(See Product Specications on front page for amperage rating of this product).
18. Do not use product for anything other than its intended purpose.
19. Do not attempt to perform any service or maintenance not outlined in instruc-
tion manual.

Congratulations!
You’ve just purchased the Double K CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ Forced Air Dryer, which
produces warm, high velocity air under pressure, to allow you to dry your animal perfectly.
Your new dryer is designed to provide long, reliable service.
Please read this manual carefully and completely before beginning operation of your dryer
and keep in a convenient and safe place for future reference. A warranty card is included with
your dryer and should be lled out completely and mailed to Double K Industries within 30
days of the purchase date of your dryer to validate your warranty. Online registration is
available at www.DoubleKIndustries.com
Your CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ has a two-year warranty covering the unit against defects in
materials and workmanship. Regular maintenance items such as brushes and lters are NOT
included (see warranty card for complete warranty information). It is also important to retain
your sales receipt as proof of purchase should service ever be needed.
Your CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ has one brush-type motor. It is important that the brushes be
changed when they become worn down to prevent damage to your dryer motor (brushes are
maintenance components and are NOT covered under the warranty). We suggest checking
the motor brushes after every 600 hours of dryer use. Please see section on BRUSHES in this
manual for instructions.
A NOTE ABOUT HEAT: Your CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ has no heating element. The
CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™ produces heat by a “ow-thru” motor system, meaning the air is
pushed through the motor and is warmed by the natural heat of the motor that occurs during
operation. This means greater electrical savings and eciency for you. The dryer will reach its
maximum air temperature after about 2-4 minutes of operation. (Note: The higher the room
temperature, the warmer the air from the dryer will be.)
ASSEMBLY
To attach hose to dryer: Your dryer hose has a black hose adapter that will screw onto the hose
in a counter-clockwise motion. The adapter with hose attached then ts onto the dryer with a
half-twist motion that locks the adapter onto the dryer.
First, place the adapter over the snout of the dryer with the Double K logo facing up, then turn
hose counter-clockwise until the adapter locks in place, the Double K logo should then be
sitting horizontally.
To remove hose from adapter: Turn the hose clockwise.
ATTACHMENTS: Your dryer is equipped with one hose, 2 twist-on nozzles, 1 nozzle extension
and 1 compression t nozzle. To attach nozzles to hose, twist the nozzles counter-clockwise.
Twist clockwise to remove. See Attachment Guide on page 8.
