TIPS

   

 

The

 

RLE202

 

is

 

designed

 

to

 

rotate

 

in

 

a

 

clockwise

 

direction

 

only.

 

Rotating

 

the

 

brush

 

in

 

a

 

counter

clockwise

 

direction

 

will

 

cause

 

the

 

brush

 

to

 

become

 

disconnected

 

and

 

stuck

 

inside

 

the

 

vent.

 

 

Use

 

a

 

cordless

 

adjustable

 

clutch

 

drill

 

at

 

a

 

low

 

setting

 

to

 

avoid

 

breaking

 

the

 

extension

 

rods.

 

 

Failure

 

to

 

use

 

the

 

Dryer/Blower

 

adapter

 

could

 

cause

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

RLE202

 

tool

 

and

 

dryer.

 

 

Clean

 

dryer

 

vent,

 

back

 

of

 

dryer

 

and

 

surrounding

 

area

 

3

 

to

 

4

 

times

 

per

 

year.

 

 

Always

 

attach

 

rods

 

together

 

with

 

two

 

pairs

 

of

 

pliers

 

to

 

ensure

 

they

 

are

 

tight.

 

After

 

tightening,

 

use

 

electrical

 

or

 

duct

 

tape

 

to

 

wrap

 

the

 

rod

 

connections

 

so

 

they

 

don’t

 

come

 

loose

 

while

 

cleaning

 

the

 

duct.

 

SAFETY

 

TIPS

 

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

excessive

 

force

 

when

 

pushing

 

the

 

brush

 

through

 

the

 

vent.

 

This

 

can

 

cause

 

personal

 

injury,

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

vent

 

or

 

may

 

break

 

the

 

brush

 

off

 

in

 

the

 

vent.

 

Add

 

one

 

rod

 

at

 

a

 

time

 

as

 

you

 

push

 

the

 

brush

 

into

 

the

 

vent.

 

 

Always

 

attach

 

the

 

Dryer

 

Blower

 

Adapter

 

when

 

using

 

the

 

dryer

 

to

 

blow

 

the

 

lint

 

out

 

of

 

the

 

vent

 

while

 

rotary

 

brushing.

 

The

 

adapter

 

will

 

keep

 

the

 

brush

 

from

 

damaging

 

the

 

dryer.

 

 

Eye

 

protection

 

and

 

a

 

dusk

 

mask

 

is

 

recommended.

 

INITIAL

 

INSPECTION

 

 

Check

 

material

 

used

 

for

 

the

 

venting.

 

If

 

possible,

 

you

 

should

 

replace

 

foil

 

or

 

white

 

vinyl

 

with

 

rigid

 

or

 

semi

rigid

 

all

 

Metal

 

venting.

 

 

The

 

RLE202

 

will

 

clean

 

all

 

types

 

of

 

venting.

 

Use

 

care

 

when

 

cleaning

 

foil

 

or

 

white

 

vinyl

 

vents.

 

 

Turn

 

dryer

 

on

 

in

 

heat

 

mode

 

and

 

check

 

outside

 

to

 

see

 

if

 

there

 

is

 

air

 

flowing.

 

 

If

 

there

 

is

 

a

 

screen

 

over

 

the

 

outside

 

vent,

 

remove

 

and

 

discard.

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

a

 

screen,

 

it

 

will

 

cause

 

a

 

backup

 

of

 

lint.

 

IF

 

VENT

 

HAS

 

NO

 

AIRFLOW

 

 

Turn

 

off

 

dryer.

 

 

Attach

 

Blockage

 

Removal

 

Tool

 

to

 

the

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

extension

 

rod

 

and

 

tighten

 

with

 

nut.

 

 

Insert

 

tool

 

in

 

vent

 

and

 

turn

 

clockwise

 

by

 

hand

 

while

 

moving

 

back

 

and

 

forth.

 

If

 

needed,

 

add

 

more

 

rods

 

until

 

blockage

 

is

 

reached.

 

Slowly

 

remove

 

tool

 

while

 

turning

 

clockwise.

  

 

Turn

 

dryer

 

back

 

on

 

and

 

check

 

for

 

air

 

flow.

 

(Note:

 

If

 

there

 

is

 

still

 

no

 

airflow,

 

check

 

duct

 

for

 

structural

 

issues.)

   

IF

 

VENT

 

HAS

 

AIRFLOW

 

 

Remove

 

exterior

 

vent,

 

louvers,

 

or

 

tape

 

open

 

trap

 

door

 

so

 

the

 

brush

 

will

 

not

 

damage

 

the

 

outside

 

when

 

it

 

reaches

 

the

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

vent.
