• Inspect the power cord before use. If the cord is damaged, do not use it. Always grasp the plug (not the cord) to unplug.
• Insert a three-prong plug-on power cord into a match-ing electrically grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. Never cut off the third prong. Do not use an extension cord.
• The unit must be operated on a 115V/60Hz circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) device.

INTRODUCTION

The Revolution Dehumidifier reduces humidity in en-closed structural environments by removing water vapor from the air. With proper use, the Revolution can help to dry out damp structural materials, insulation, and con- tents, and maintain a healthy level of humidity. Using the Revolution may also prevent secondary damage caused by high humidity.

How the Revolution works
The Revolution refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain hose. The unit can be set to operate continuously or the user may select Humidistat Mode. In Humidistat Mode, the Revolution will turn on and off automatically to maintain the inlet humidity level the user has selected.

CONTROLS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Set unit upright
  NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a vertical position, return it to the horizontal position and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning it on.

• Positioning a Dehumidifier
  For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Close all doors and windows that open to the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. Place your dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit.

• Set up drain hose
  This unit automatically pumps out water on a regular basis. This dehumidifier is equipped with a quick-connect fitting for attachment to the provided 40 ft. (12 m) drain hose located in the tray on top of the unit. Unwrap the entire hose and place the open end in a sink, drain, bucket, or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.
  NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the bottom of the unit. Also, check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows.

Plugin the electrical cord
The Revolution should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps. Always plug the cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other end into a suitable outlet.

AT THE END OF THE JOB

To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the unit, follow these additional steps to ensure that all water is removed from the unit.
NOTICE : To ensure all water is removed from the dehumidifier, the unit will complete the defrost cycle even if the unit is turned off. If the unit is unplugged during the defrost cycle, excessive water may accumulate in the unit and may drip out when you move the unit.
NOTICE: To ensure the condensate tank empties completely while purging, make sure the unit is placed up-right on a horizontal surface.

• Do not turn the unit off or move it until it has returned to normal operating mode.
•  Gently rock the machine to ensure any water remaining on interior surfaces falls into the sump area.
•  Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is complete, turn the unit off.
•  Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully, coil it, and secure it with one of the straps provided.
•  Remove the power cord, coil it neatly, and secure it with one of the straps provided.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

NOTICE: Always remove the power cord before moving, transporting, or storing the unit.
NOTICE: Handle the unit carefully. Do not drop, throw, or place the unit where it could fall. Rough treatment can damage this equipment and may create a hazardous condition or void warranty.

•  Do not expose the control panel to moisture, snow, or rain.
•  Protect from freezing.
• Store and transport securely to avoid any damaging impact on internal parts.
•  Secure during transport to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle occupants.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

• WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.
• WARNING : Risk of dust and contaminants exposure. Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If the unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous contaminants, clean thoroughly and sanitize before reuse.
• NOTICE : The unit is fitted with sensitive electronic sensors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from damage and do not expose them to water or cleaning solutions.

The following tools and supplies are needed to complete the maintenance procedures described in this manual:

• Philips screwdriver
• 10 mm wrench
• 6 mm hex bit
• ¼ in. nut driver
• Cleaning cloths
• A HEPA vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle and crevice nozzle.
• Recommended
• Cordless drill, small knife, small-jaw pliers, coil cleaning solution, rotomolded housing cleaning solution.

Before each use
Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for fraying, cuts, etc. If you find any damage, replace the cord with an authorized Legend Brands part.
Inspect filter. Replace if the accumulation of dust and debris is visible.
NOTICE: Replace used filters only with a new Dri-Eaz 4-PRO filter part no. #102312 (F583) (24-pack). Other filter types do not provide adequate filtration or airflow. Each filter is individually wrapped to protect filtration effectiveness. Remove the wrapper before installing the filter into the dehumidifier.

Fig. B: Disassembly for Cleaning

Monthly
Inspect coils. Clean when dust accumulation is visible. In normal use, dust can accumulate and can restrict air flow, reducing performance and causing the unit to overheat. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush tool and a soft cloth to remove any debris. Take care not to damage any interior components.
To maintain the appearance, wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning and a lasting, protective shine, use an automotive interior cleaner.
As Needed
Clean pump check valve and basin. Remove grills and cover as shown in Fig. B. Remove screws from the pump base and lift out the pump. Wipe out the pump basin with a damp cloth. Inspect the pump base for the build-up of debris and clean if needed. Unthread barbed fitting with check valve and rinse fitting and check valve with clean water. Reinstall check valve into barbed fitting and install the barbed fitting into the pump. Do not overtighten. Reinstall pump on base. Reinstall cover and grills.
Clean coils. With the cover removed, inspect both coils. If excessive dust and debris is present, vacuum thoroughly and/or clean with coil cleaner.
