AUXILIARY OUTLET
This blower is equipped with a built-in GFCI that allows you to “daisy chain” together multiple units in
order to operate in large areas where power outlets are limited or not available. All other warnings for use
of this blower should be strictly adhered to.
Carpet Clamp (OS2800 Only)
This blower is equipped with a carpet clamp, which will greatly decrease the time it takes to dry carpet
and padding by blowing air under the carpet. Simply lift a corner of the carpet and place the blower at the
edge of the carpet. Secure the edge of the carpet to the blower by loosening the black knob, lifting the
clamp, and pinching the carpeting between the blower body and the clamp. Then, tighten the black knob
to hold the carpet in place. Turn the blower on and allow air to blow under the carpet.
Note: This feature cannot be used with carpet that is permanently attached to the oor (i.e. glued down,
stapled, etc.) since attempting to pull the carpet up could result in damage. Please consult a carpet
professional if unsure of how the carpet is installed.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) OUTLET
The GFCI protects the user from potential electrical shock. Should it detect a sudden ground fault, the
GFCI will interrupt the current and shut the unit o. It will also fault/trip when a short circuit or overload
occurs. If the GFCI faults/trips, unplug the unit, and look for potential hazards such as standing water,
a damaged cord, etc. Once the problem is corrected, plug unit back in, push the “Reset” button,
located on the GFCI faceplate, and re-start the blower. If blower does not re-start, please refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual.
