Forced Air Dryer Instruction Manual
Please read all instructions before operating your dryer. Keep for future
reference.
Congratulations
on your purchase of the
Double K Challengair 850/850-XL Forced Air Dryer
. The
Double K
Challengair 850 and 850-XL Dryers
produce high velocity warm air under pressure to make your grooming
tasks easier. Your new dryer is designed to provide long, reliable service.
The
850 and 850-XL
are available in both stand and portable models. The stand model is equipped with
a grooming arm for use during table drying. The
850-XL
model produces 15% more air than the
850
. Both
the 850 and the 850-XL are available with a variable speed option for greater air flow control.
A warranty card is included with your dryer and should be filled out completely and mailed to
Double K
Industries
within 30 days of the purchase date of your dryer to validate your warranty. It is also important to
retain your sales receipt as proof of purchase should service ever be needed.
Your
850/850-XL Challengair Dryer
has brush type motors (Both the 850 and 850-XL have two motors). It is
important that the brushes be changed when they become worn down to prevent damage to your dryer
motors (Brushes are a maintenance procedure and are not covered under warranty). We suggest
checking the motor brushes after every 600 hours of dryer use. Please see section on “Brush Changing”
in this manual for instructions.
Important Safeguards
DO NOT TURN ON DRYER WITH OUT FIRST HOLDING THE DRYER HOSE as the air volume from the
dryer can cause the hose to move and swirl and may cause injury.
1.
Do not leave dryer unattended while in use. Check animal often during drying.
2.
Unplug unit when not in use.
3.
Do not use extension cords with dryer.
4.
Do not expose dryer to rain or water.
5.
Do not use or store where it can fall or be pulled into tub or sink or standing water. If dryer falls
into water… UNPLUG IT… DO NOT REACH INTO THE WATER!
6.
Do not unplug unit by pulling on cord.
7.
Do not operate while standing in or near water.
8.
Unplug unit before attempting any service or maintenance.
9.
Do not direct air toward eyes.
10. Keep loose clothing, jewelry and hair away from dryer openings.
11. Keep filters clean. Hair build-up limits air intake and may damage motor.
12. Plug only into a properly grounded receptacle. Always make sure the amperage of the
electrical outlet is sufficient for the amperage rating of the product. (Read further into manual
for amperage rating of this product)
13. Do not use this product for anything other than its intended use.
14. Do not attempt to perform any service or maintenance not outlined in this manual. Contact
Double K Industries
or Authorized Service Center if additional service is needed. Do not block
dryer intake or put into dryer openings.
A NOTE ABOUT HEAT:
Your
Challengair 850/850-XL
dryer has no heating element. The
Challengair
produces heat by a “flow-thru” motor system meaning the air is pushed through the motor and is
warmed by the natural heat of the motor that occurs during use. This means greater electrical
savings and efficiency for you and that the dryer will reach maximum heat after about 3-5 minutes of
use. Obviously the greater the ambient temperature, the warmer the air from the dryer.
