SAFETY INFORMATION
Dri-Eaz is concerned about the safety of every-
one who uses or comes in contact with the
Airchanger. The unit is designed to be operated in
compliance with the safety warnings and instruc-
tions provided in this manual. Like other electrical
devices, the unit can become dangerous if it is
abused, damaged or misused. Failure to observe
the following warnings can result in injury to per-
sons, fire danger or damage to the unit.
Safety Warnings
To reduce risk of electrical shock, fire, or per-
sonal injury, read and follow each of the warnings
below.
Keep the Unit Grounded
The Dri-X Airchanger is designed to operate on
ordinary household 115 volt, 60 Hertz alternating
current and comes with a three pronged grounding
plug. Never remove or modify this three pronged
plug. Do not use an ungrounded two pronged
adapter. The grounding pin on the unit’s plug is an
essential safety feature that will help reduce the
risk of shock or fire in the event of an electrical
hazard.
Protect the Power Cord from Damage
Never operate the Airchanger with a damaged
or frayed power cord or extension cord. Never un-
plug the unit by pulling the cord. Grasp the plug
firmly and pull straight out. Do not close a door on
the cord, or pull the cord over or around sharp
corners or rough surfaces. Do not run equipment
over the cord or use the cord as a handle. Keep the
cord away from heated surfaces and out of stand-
ing water.
Danger
Removal or alteration of the grounding plug, or
use of an adapter that defeats the Dri-X
Airchanger’s electrical grounding, can create risk
of serious personal injury or fire in the event of
damage to or malfunction of this product. Do not
use the unit if you cannot connect it to a receptacle
that accepts a three-pronged plug. If you are un-
sure whether a receptacle is grounded, consult a
qualified electrician.
Keep Out of Water
Do not place the Airchanger in standing or run-
ning water. Never operate or store the unit out-
doors or expose the unit to rain or water from
overhead sources, such as leaking pipes or drip-
ping ceilings. The Dri-X is not weather proof and
water may drip into its electrical parts and cause
risk of electrical shock or damage to the unit.
Caution
The Airchanger may be operated on a damp sur-
face, but you should make sure that no water pools
around the machine. If it does, do not operate the
unit until the surface has dried sufficiently to
eliminate pooling.
Electrical Components Must Be Dry
Never allow water inside the unit’s electrical
components. If these area become wet for any rea-
son, thoroughly dry them before using the unit.
