rated air that hovers near wet surfaces. TurboDryers whisk away
this moist air and replace it with drier air.
Placing TurboDryers
When drying in a building, place at least one TurboDryer per
room. Place as many as needed for maximum airflow across all
wet areas of the floor.
Ensure that all wet surfaces receive good airflow. Open interior
doors to maintain good air circulation. Doors may need to be
braced to prevent them from blowing shut.
Choose an Operating Position
The Ace is specifically designed to operate in any one of multiple
positions. Each position utilizes a different angle to direct airflow
exactly where you need it for effective drying. The arrow on the
side of the unit indicates direction of airflow.
Tilt Forward – Set the Ace on its narrow
feet (handle on top). Tilt the Ace for-
ward until the unit rests at an angle on
its lower legs. This position creates
laminar airflow along the floor in front of
the unit.
Tilt Back – Set the Ace on its narrow
feet (handle on top). Tilt the Ace back
until the unit rests at an angle on its
lower legs. This position directs air at
an angle for drying elevated materials.
Face Down – Set the Ace on all four
legs with the switch-side grill facing
down. This position directs air down at
the floor for focused drying.
Face Up – Set the Ace on all four legs
with the switch-side grill facing up. This
position directs air straight up for drying
ceilings.

Control the Humidity
Using TurboDryers to speed the rate of evaporation in a building
usually causes the humidity to rise immediately. When this oc-
curs, the air movement becomes less effective and the rate of
drying slows. The increased humidity can also cause secondary
damage to the structure and its contents. Therefore, it is vital that
TurboDryers be used with adequate dehumidification. To prevent
secondary damage and help control mold growth, keep indoor
humidity below 60% RH. If possible, maintain indoor humidity
below 45% RH. This may require the use of DrizAir dehumidifi-
ers. Even lower humidity (25-40% RH) will speed the drying of
dense materials such as lumber, and is possible with Dri-Eaz
desiccant or low grain refrigerant dehumidifiers.
To improve drying, close off the area being dried from the rest of
structure. Regulate the heating or air conditioning system at 68–
80°F (20–27°C). When dehumidifiers are not available, run ex-
haust fans in the attic, kitchen and bathroom to remove some
humidity. If outdoor air is very dry, open some windows or doors
at least slightly. Use a thermo-hygrometer to determine the rela-
tive humidity.
Check if Materials are Dry
Monitor the moisture condition of wet materials with a moisture
meter. To check how completely materials have dried, compare
your readings to those you take on similar materials that you
know to be completely dry.
Cooling & Ventilation
Over-heated rooms can be cooled with high-volume airflow from
an Ace TurboDryer. Place the unit on the floor or other flat sur-
face and direct the air from cooler areas or the outdoors.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and am-
perage for the unit.
2. Place the unit in the desired operating position. The arrow on
the side of the unit indicates direction of airflow.

Stack for Operation – Set one Ace
TurboDryer on its wide feet (handle on
the side) on a stable, level surface.
Place a second Ace TurboDryer on top
so that its rubber feet fit into the im-
pressions on the bottom unit. Always
use caution when stacking for operation
to avoid damage or injury from a falling
unit.
Stack for Storage – Ace TurboDryers
interlock for easy stacking, storage and
transport. Place units grill-to-grill. Ro-
tate units until the legs are not aligned.
