To set up and use the DRI-EAZ 119218 Rescue Mat System, follow these steps:
1. Before using the Rescue Mats, extract standing water from the surface of the flooring assembly using portable or truckmount extractors. Use a moisture meter to determine the extent of water intrusion and mark the affected area with releasable tape.
2. Connect the vacuum hoses to the Rescue Mats via the T-connectors and hose cuffs. The larger ends of the hose cuffs should slide onto the stems of the T-connectors, while the smaller ends are for connecting to the flange of the mats.
3. To achieve a secure fit, use an electric heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the small (interior threaded) end of a hose cuff. Rotate and heat thoroughly until it becomes more pliable. Slide it onto the flange of a mat and hold it in place. Repeat this process for the remaining hose cuffs.
4. For the DriForce XL blower, heat the small end of a hose cuff and slide it onto the "Vacuum In" hose barb of the blower. Allow it to cool. This hose cuff will be used to connect the T-connector directly to the DriForce XL.
5. Arrange the mats over the affected floor area, ensuring that the longer edge crosses the greatest number of boards at a right angle. Set the mats no more than six inches apart and no more than two feet from the wall. If the floor is uneven, secure the mat edges with removable painter's tape.
6. Attach the Rescue Mat's hose to the inlet filter. Turn on the DriForce or DriForce XL blower and check for leaks at hose connections and along the mat edges. Adjust connections and mat seals as necessary.
Please note that the Rescue Mat System should only be used on wood plank flooring and not on non-porous surfaces.
