The BLO Car Dryer AIR-GT is one of the most feature-packed and powerful vehicle drying tools on the market. It uses a dual motor power plant that runs on 110 volts of electricity through a minimum of a 15 amp fuse. It has an adjustable airspeed nozzle that you can dial down when you want to delicately blow water out of a mirror or piece of trim or dial-up when you want to blast the water across the hood. It comes with a 26-foot air hose and a 16-foot power cord so you’ll rarely need to move the machine around. But when you do, it has four wheels to handle the rolling duties. Let’s open it up. Pull the contents out of the box and you’ll find:
- The AIR-GT main tube and power unit
- The 26-foot Air Hose
- (2) Air Nozzles
- A spare Rubber O Ring
- The User Manual
The 26-foot air hose will expand when the machine turns on and retract when it is off.
You’ll find a spare rubber O Ring. This O Ring is a replacement for the seal between the Air Nozzle and Air Hose or between the Air Hose and the Power Unit. Keep this somewhere safe for future use.
Getting the BLO Car Dryer AIR-GT ready for use is very simple. First, attach the Air Hose to the Power Unit using the interlocking twist connector attached. Line up the cutout and insert the Air Hose coupler into the Power Unit. Now twist clockwise to tighten.
Next, attach the Air Nozzle of your choice to the business end of the Air Hose. Follow the same protocol as before, lining up the insert and twisting tight.
When it is time to clean out your Air Filter, simply remove the end cap of the Power Unit and remove the air filter.
Find the nearest 110v outlet for the 16-foot power cord and plug it in. We recommend a 20 amp fuse, but 15 will usually do it.
Find the power switch on top of the handle for easy On/Off duties and an adjustable airspeed dial which will give you tons of airflow when you need it over large flat areas and a nice gentle push when drying small intricate areas.
The long power cord and air hose keep you from needing to move the machine much, but when you do there are 4 rotating and locking wheels to make it easy.
Now you’re ready to dry your car!
