Recommendations for using PDS-12
In order to achieve the maximized air pressure for wall drying, VIKING Equipment recommends that the 1/2 x 1/3 inch
hose be cut as shown above. Hoses beyond the suggested lengths above may result in a loss of pressurized drying
capability. Pressure can be equalized or increased by connecting unutilized drying nozzles with unused hose.

4 Ft.
5 Ft.
6 Ft.
WARNING
Read Operation's Instructions and Warnings before Using this piece of
Equipment
Warning: Be sure to remove plastics bags, building materials and any
debris that may obstruct the PDS-12 intake vent. Not doing so, may result
in the overheating of the motor and/or causing equipment failure.
Caution: To increase pressurized drying capacity, please only use the hose
provided with the pressurized drying system to connect unused drying
nozzles. Not doing so may damage the PDS-12.
