WARNING: To reduce risk of fire, electric shock

or injury to persons, observe the following:

A Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.

B Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Troubleshooting and internal maintenance must be performed by qualified service personnel.
• Do not use any power wash equipment for cleaning on or near this unit.
• Do not use the XLERATOR dryer for drying hair.
• Do not obstruct air inlets or outlets.

PRE INSTALLATION WIRING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Check that the electrical supply corresponds to that shown on the rating sticker of unit. Do not connect the dryer to any electrical supply other than that stated on the rating sticker of the unit. Permanent damage or improper, unsafe operation of the unit may result.
• Make sure electricity is switched off at the main panel before installing, maintaining or cleaning this hand dryer.
• The Dryer must be installed in accordance with current local wiring and building regulations.
• The Dryer is intended to be permanently connected to the power supply, and must be properly grounded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Disconnect the power source previously brought to the hand dryer location (see pre installation wiring).

2. Remove the 2 cover mounting screws using the Tamper-Proof Wrench supplied. Lift the cover to remove from base plate.

3. If electrical wiring entry is to be made from the rear, remove the appropriate pre-formed knockout on the base plate. If entry is to be made from the bottom, knock out the pre-formed area on the cover  for your supply connection. A rigid conduit must be used for the electrical wiring to the unit.

4. Select the appropriate mounting height for the dryer (Table 1). Select the recommended fastener (Table 2). There should be no obstruction between the hand dryer and the floor. If mounting over a countertop, distance form counter to dryer must be 15” (381 mm) minimum.
   CAUTION: Do not use the Base Plate as a guide when drilling. Make sure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or any electrical cables or wires are located directly behind the area to be drilled.

5. Attach Base Plate at the four corners to a smooth wall. For most secure installation, use 2 additional mounting holes as shown in drawing. For non-HEPA units, remove Control Assembly to access the right side mounting hole. For HEPA units, remove filter only to access the right side mounting hole.

6. Identify the voltage of your dryer from the rating sticker of the unit.

7. Secure electrical wiring to terminals as indicated by the schematic affixed to blower housing. An identified ground connection point is supplied on the Base Plate for your equipment ground wire. Dryers should be installed per local code requirements.

8. Carefully replace Cover using the 2 screws previously removed in step 2. Restore power and test for proper operation. In multiple installations, make sure the serial number marked on the inside matches the cover number.

9. It is highly recommended that a bead of silicone sealant be placed around the outside of the cover at the wall to protect dryer from internal corrosion caused by wash water and cleaning solutions.

10. Return Tamper-Proof Wrench to owner.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE

OUTSIDE
Gently wash Cover (including air inlet holes) using a soft cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water to loosen dirt and grime.

INSIDE
Excel recommends inspecting the inside of the dryer and cleaning as required at least once per year, or if performance diminishes. Heavier usage, or an environment that contains excessive lint, dust or other particles, requires more frequent cleaning. Lint on the air inlet, the Pre-Filters (Dryer or HEPA if so equipped), or other internal parts of dryer will reduce efficiency and shorten the life of the working parts.

To clean, shut off power to dryer at service connection. Remove Cover by unscrewing the 2 Tamper-Proof Bolts from side of Cover with the special Tamper-Proof Wrench provided with each dryer. Use a small, soft brush to gently clean all parts. If your unit contains a dryer Pre-filter or HEPA Filtration System, unclip the Pre-Filter, rinse the Pre-Filter with water and dry. Re-install.
DO NOT CLEAN THE HEPA FILTER OR ALLOW IT TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH WATER.
