Setup

Unpacking the Unit

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. The box should contain:

• Bigboi BlowR MINI+ main unit
• 16-foot hose
• 1 round nozzle
• 1 flat nozzle
• Air filter (pre-installed or separate)

Hose and Nozzle Attachment

Attach the provided 16-foot flexible hose to the air outlet of the main unit. Ensure it is securely fastened. Select either the round or flat nozzle based on your drying needs and attach it to the end of the hose. The hose is designed to expand to its full length when the machine is in operation.

Power Connection

Connect the 16-foot power cord to a standard grounded 120V outlet. The unit draws 15 Amps, so ensure the circuit can handle this load to prevent tripping breakers, especially when both motors and the heating element are active. Avoid using power strips if possible, and connect directly to a dedicated wall outlet for best performance.

Operating Instructions

Controls Overview

The Bigboi Blower Mini+ features intuitive controls for motor selection and air speed adjustment:

• Motor Switch: A toggle switch allows you to select between one motor (setting '1') or both motors (setting '2') for varying power needs.
• Wind Control Knob: This rotary knob allows for precise adjustment of the wind intensity from minimum to maximum when the air speed is set to 'Adjustable'.
• Air Speed Switch: A toggle switch to choose between 'Adjustable' air speed (controlled by the wind control knob) or 'Full' air speed for maximum power.

Drying Process

To begin drying, ensure the unit is plugged into an appropriate power source. Select your desired motor and air speed settings. Direct the nozzle towards the wet surfaces of your vehicle. The powerful, heated airflow will quickly displace water, leaving a streak-free finish. Focus on tight areas such as mirrors, door handles, window trim, and emblems, as the heated air helps to evaporate trapped water, preventing drips and streaks after driving. Using an air dryer is a safer alternative to towel drying, as it minimizes physical contact with the paint, reducing the risk of introducing swirl marks and marring over time.

Maintenance

Air Filter Maintenance

The Bigboi Blower Mini+ is equipped with an easily accessible air filter. Regularly inspect and clean or replace the air filter to ensure optimal performance and to prevent dust and debris from being blown onto your vehicle's finish. Refer to the filter compartment for specific instructions on removal and reinstallation.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Unit Not Powering On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a live 120V grounded outlet. Check the circuit breaker to ensure it has not tripped.
• Circuit Breaker Tripping: The unit draws 15 Amps. If the breaker trips, ensure no other high-power appliances are on the same circuit. Consider using a dedicated 15A or 20A circuit. Avoid using extension cords or power strips that are not rated for the unit's power draw.
• Reduced Airflow: Check the air filter for excessive dust or blockage. Clean or replace the filter as necessary. Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed.
• Unusual Noise: If the unit produces unusual noises, immediately turn it off and inspect the air intake and hose for any foreign objects. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
