QUICK START GUIDE
RD2206420-B
SETUP
Important: Read all notice information on the top plate of the DryBot prior to operation.
STEP 2: Plumb the DryBot output port to a convenient receptacle on your engine. Most often, dry
air is injected into the engine via the oil fill, dipstick, vent tube, or exhaust. The oil fill is preferred since
it is easily accessible and provides dry air to the bottom end (crankshaft, cam, lifters) of the engine.
The crankcase vent tube is viable but less desireable because it typically has freeze vents (slots or
holes) which can introduce moist air to the air stream. The exhaust pipe is often most convenient on a
2-stroke engine. No matter which option is used, an air-tight seal between the dry air delivery tubing
and input port is required so dry air is pushed throughout the engine.
Visit www.rpxtech.com/drybot-support for engine connection options.
TIP: To avoid accidental lodging of foreign material inside any part of the engine, it is
recommended that external fittings (not internal plugs, etc.) be used to adapt the DryBot
tubing to the engine.
STEP 1: Secure the airflow tubing to the DryBot's dry air port using one of the included clamps.
Once secured, the clamp can remain affixed during both use and non-use.

NORMAL OPERATION
The green light will flash during normal operating conditions. Both the yellow and green light will
flash while regenerating (note: there will be no air flow during the regeneration cycle). Flow error
codes are shown below. If the system is indicating any of the flash codes shown below, check for
kinks and other obstructions in the tubing. If the system indicates an “Air Flow Fault” or “Pressure
Fault,” power cycle the DryBot to clear the code and restart the system. Please contact support for
other error codes.
Under extremely high humidity conditions regeneration may be required once or twice per day.
Under extremely dry conditions, DryBot automaticall y regenerates every 7 days to perform a system
check. Each regeneration cycle requires 3 hours to compete during which time air flow is rerouted
through the bottom exhaust port of the DryBot. Water pooling around the bottom of the DryBot and
a “gurgling” sound is normal during the regeneration process.

NOTICE
Hot air and steam are pumped through the bottom of the DryBot during the
regeneration cycle. Do not place the DryBot on surfaces that may be damaged by
elevated temperatures or water. Also note that the external surfaces of the DryBot
may get hot during the regeneration process.
STEP 3: Connect AC power to the DryBot for automatic operation. A grounded power receptacle is
required. The DryBot will automatically detect and enter the optimum operating mode, either
providing an immediate flow of dry air, or entering a desiccant regeneration cycle. It is recommended
that the DryBot be turned off when not in use.
NOTICE
The DryBot must be able to temperature cycle internal components. Do not cover
or place near a heat source such as a heater or direct sunlight.
