Safety Information
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or
around the unit, in any way 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 groun-
ding 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 re-
placed by a cord of the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords, Indoor Use: Extension cords must be
grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltage to the
unit.
CAUTION! Outdoor Use: Do not use extension cords when
operating the unit outside. If operating the unit outdoors, be
sure that it is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected receptacle. If heavy precipitation persists it is
recommended that the unit be unplugged and brought indoors
or protected from heavy moisture.
Keep Motor Dry: Never allow water inside the unit’s motor. If
the motor becomes wet for any reason, thoroughly dry it before
use.
Avoid Pooled Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or
standing water, as this may create a risk of serious injury from
electrical shock.
WARNING! 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.
Storage: Store the unit in a clean dry environment. Do not
store the unit outdoors.
Air Intakes Must Be Clear: Operate the unit away from drape-
ries and other materials that may come in contact with the air
intakes. Do not allow any material to clog or block air intakes,
as this may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or
electrical hazard.
Don’t Operate Without Safety Screens: Never operate the
unit without the factory installed safety screens on the air inlets
and air exhaust as the rapidly revolving wheel can cause se-
rious injury.
Keep Away From Heaters: Do not use the unit for circulating
hot air by placing the intakes close to a heater. The housing
could melt or the motor could overheat and cause a fire or
electrical hazard.
Keep Away From Explosive Gas: Do not operate the unit in
an area containing combustible gas. This could cause a dan-
ger of fire or explosion. Ventilate environments that may be
explosive.
Maintenance or Repair: Do not attempt to disassemble or
repair the unit if you are not qualified to do so. If the unit is not
working as it should, return it to Dri-Eaz or an authorized deal-
er or distributor for servicing. Note: For information about au-
thorized repair and maintenance call Dri-Eaz Products, Inc. at
[phone].
OPERATION
Place the AirWolf on a stable, flat surface, in an area where
children can be kept away.
Attach inflation tube or ducting to the outlet snout of the Air-
wolf. The outlet has a raised lip to hold the ducting when se-
cured by a strap or other tightener.
Note: The AirWolf is designed to run while attached to an infla-
tion tube or ducting. The unit runs quieter, and draws less
power, when attached to ducting and running under load. Nev-
er run the AirWolf with no load.
Plug in to a standard circuit, and turn on by throwing the one-
speed switch. Be certain the unit is operating correctly and
safely before allowing it to run unattended.
For storage, up to three units may be stacked. Turn each unit
on its side, with the black circular ring of the air intake pointed
down, and stack. Do NOT operate in the stacking position;
operate only with unit sitting on its four rubber feet.
The black circular ring of the air intake is also useful as a cord
wrap.
MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Unplug During Maintenance: Do not attempt to
service or clean the unit while it is plugged into an electrical
outlet or while the wheel is turning as this may lead to risk of
electrical shock or injury. It is dangerous for an unqualified
individual to attempt to disassemble or repair the unit.
CLEAN AIR INTAKES: Clean the air inlet side screens of any
accumulated lint and or fabric. A build up will reduce the airflow
and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire ha-
zard.

CORD INSPECTION: Inspect the electrical cord for damage.
Units with damaged cords must be removed and repaired be-
fore use. Failure to do so may lead to electrical shock, or a fire
hazard.
CLEAN EXTERIOR: For deep cleaning and a lasting, protec-
tive shine, use Dri-Eaz MicroGuard Cleaner and MicroGuard
Protectant, available from your Dri-Eaz distributor.
EXTERIOR INSPECTION: Evaluate exterior components and
make sure that they are properly installed. Repair or replace
missing components as required. Listen to the unit for abnor-
mal sounds and repair as needed.
