GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug into a standard outlet with the correct voltage and amperage for the unit.
2. Place the dryer in the desired operating position.
3. Set the switch at the desired speed: low or high.
4. Check for proper operation before leaving the unit unattended.

Do not move or carry the dryer when it is running.
Daisy-chained: Up to 6 units may be plugged into on a single 15 amp circuit and up to 9 on a 20 amp circuit. The F5 is equipped with dual power outlets that will allow you to “daisy chain” up to 5 units units. Do not “daisy chain” more than 5 units. The F5 power system has a 12 amp circuit breaker built-in that will trip if more than 5 units are “daisy-chained” from a single machine.
12 AMP Resettable Circuit Breaker
The F5 Powr-Dryer features a 12 amp circuit breaker that will “trip” if more than 12 amps of electrical current are drawn through the cord.
GFCI Protection and Outlet
The F5 Powr-Dryer provides a standard duplex GFCI outlet for daisy-chaining multiple units together. The GFCI protection promotes operator safety and will “trip” if an electrical ground fault is sensed. To test the GFCI protection, press the TEST button. If operating properly, the RESET button on the GFCI outlet will pop out.
Operating Positions
The F5 Powr-Dryer is designed to operate in multiple positions for any type of drying.

1. Tilt Back – Tilt the F5 backward on the four curved molded legs at an angle to direct the air for elevated drying.
2. Upright – Set the F5 square with the handle on the top to direct air across a room.
3. Tilt Forward – Tilt the F5 forward on the “standing legs at an angle to direct airflow along with the flow in front of the dryer.
4. Face Down – Set the F5 on the four curved molded legs with the “standing legs” facing up to direct air straight down.
5. Powr Pitch – Model PDF5 is equipped with a 3º down angle leg.
6. Stack for Storage – the F5 Powr-Dryer interlock and stack for easy storage and transport.

Trouble Shooting (if the dryer will not run)

1. Check electrical cord; is it firmly seated in a wall outlet
2. Check GFCI and reset if tripped
3. Check if the dryer circuit breaker is tripped, reset if necessary.
