Attaching ducting to the Dragon
The Dragon is supplied with one 25 ft. length of 12 in.
diameter (7.6 m × 30 cm) high-temperature ducting. This
ducting is used to direct the heat produced by the
Dragon into the structure. To attach the ducting to the
Dragon, locate the end of the ducting with the sewn-in
cuff and buckle. Attach the ducting to the hot air outlet
(Fig. 1) and secure it with the quick-connect duct clamp.
NOTE:
If the duct clamp is too tight or too loose, adjust
the clamping force of the quick-connect duct clamp by
turning the clamp screw with a small screwdriver.
Place the other end of the ducting into a suitable inlet in
the structure. For best air flow rates avoid tight bends in
the ducting.
Securing ducting to the structure
In most drying situations you will need to attach the end
of the ducting to an opening in the structure such as a
basement window or crawlspace vent block. Since each
structure is unique, you will usually need to build an
adapter to fit the specific opening.
Operating the Dragon
Inspecting before operation
WARNING! Before starting the Dragon:
•
Check for any fuel leaks around the fuel tank or fuel
lines.
•
Check for nearby hazards like combustible materials
or flammable vapor sources.
•
Check the power cord for damage.
Correct these and any other safety hazards before
starting the Dragon.
Starting the Dragon
1. Check the fuel tank. If needed, add diesel fuel to the
fuel tank. Do not overfill. See “Fuel Type,” p. 2, for
recommended fuels.
2. With the ducting secured to the hot air outlet, plug the
power cord into a suitable 115V outlet.
3. If you are using the remote thermostat, place the
thermostat sensor in the target area. See “Using the
Remote Thermostat” for instructions. To prevent
overheating of the drying environment, we
recommend using the thermostat at all times.
