access all interior spaces, the cabinets may need to be
removed.
NOTICE:
Do not use the DriForce to extract liquid water or
debris of any kind. This may damage the unit and void the
warranty.
DriForce Blower Setup
The DriForce Blower is equipped with a blower outlet, a
vacuum inlet, a power switch and a power cord. Plug in unit
to an appropriate grounded 115V outlet rated for 15 amps.
Attach vacuum hoses to the vacuum inlet and/or blower
outlet.
Set the DriForce blower out of high traffic areas to minimize
a trip-and-fall hazard from the blower and the ADS.
NOTE: The muffler/filter supplied with the DriForce should
only be installed when using the DriForce in the Air Injec-
tion (Blower) mode, described under Phase 2 below. Do
not use the muffler-filter when using with the DriForce in
the air extraction mode (Phase 1). The filter is not intended
to be used on the inlet (vacuum) side of the DriForce.
Switch power on and off with the toggle switch, found in the
base of the unit.
Air Drying System (ADS) Setup
Manifold configuration
Next, determine the number of manifolds needed for the
job. The following setup will deliver 25 to 30 air exchanges
per hour in each cavity, which is effective for most situa-
tions. Use a formula of one manifold (each manifold has 12
injectors) for each 14 feet of interior 2 × 4 framed wall. For
2 × 6 exterior framed walls, common walls in apartments
and condos, double-sheeted fire walls, and dense or water-
resistant covered walls, use a formula of one manifold (12
injectors) for each 7 feet of wall.
After determining the number and length of hose assem-
blies and manifolds, set up the ADS system. Pre-
assembling the manifolds, tubing and injectors will save
considerable time.
Supply tube configuration
Two 200 ft. (60 m) lengths of
of
⅜ in. (0.375 mm) ID air supply
tubing
are provided. This tubing can be cut to length with a
pair of sturdy scissors or a utility knife. We recommend the
cutting following tubing lengths to create a setup suitable
for most standard wall-drying jobs:

To install the tubing, slide the one end of the tubing over
the manifold outlet nipple and insert an injector in the other
end.
Tightly seal off the last manifold on each run of ADS with
an end-cap plug. Now place the injectors into the holes you
have drilled or punched in the wall, cabinet or other as-
sembly.
Ensure that all T-fittings, hose cuffs, manifolds, supply
lines, and injectors are properly installed. Attach the ADS to
the DriForce. Plug in the DriForce and switch it on briefly,
checking all connections for air leakage. If needed, use a
hose clamp to seal off any air leakage where the vinyl
products connect up to hose barbs, etc.
Drying Procedure
Phase 1: Air Extraction (Vacuum) Drying
Attach the ADS to the vacuum inlet of the DriForce
blower unit and switch unit on.
Diagram shows two inline ADS lines (left), and two double-ADS
lines running from a T-fitting. It also shows tubing layouts for
one or two injectors into each wall cavity.
