Congratulations!
You’ve just purchased the
Double K CHALLENGAIR AirMax®
Forced Air Dryer, which produces
warm, high velocity air under pressure, to make your animal grooming tasks easier. Your new
dryer is designed to provide long, reliable service.
Please read this manual carefully and completely before beginning operation of your dryer
and keep in a convenient and safe place for future reference.
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. Online registration is available at
www.DoubleKIndustries.com
Your
CHALLENGAIR AirMax
®
has a two-year warranty covering the unit against defects in
materials and workmanship. Regular maintenance items such as brushes and filters are not
included (see warranty card for complete warranty information). It is also important to retain
your sales receipt as proof of purchase should service ever be needed.
Your
CHALLENGAIR AirMax
®
has two brush-type motors. It is important that the brushes be
changed when they become worn down to prevent damage to your dryer motor (brushes are
maintenance components and are not covered under the warranty). We suggest checking the
motors’ brushes after every 500 hours of dryer use. Please see section on BRUSHES in this
manual for instructions.
A NOTE ABOUT HEAT
: Your
CHALLENGAIR AirMax
®
has no heating element. The
CHALLENGAIR AirMax
®
produces heat by a “flow-thru” motor system, meaning the air is
pushed through the motors and is warmed by the natural heat of the motors that occurs
during operation. This means greater electrical savings and efficiency for you. The dryer will
reach its maximum air temperature after about 2-4 minutes of operation. (Note: The higher
the room temperature, the warmer the air from the dryer will be.)
ASSEMBLY
To attach hose to dryer
: Your dryer hose has a black hose adapter that will screw onto the
hose in a counter-clockwise motion. The adapter with hose attached then fits onto the dryer
with a half-twist motion that locks the adapter onto the dryer.
First, place the adapter over the snout of the dryer with the Double K logo facing up, then turn
hose counter-clockwise until the adapter locks in place, the Double K logo should then be
sitting horizontally.
To remove hose from adapter
: Turn the hose clockwise.
ATTACHMENTS
: Your dryer is equipped with one hose and 4 twist-on nozzles. To attach
nozzles to hose, twist the nozzles counter-clockwise. Twist clockwise to remove.
