FAQs
Can I plug my K-9 dryer into a 110v outlet?
No, the outlet must be rated for at least 20 amps for any K-9 II and K-9 III dryers. Mini K-9, K-9 Fluffer, and K-9 I dryer models can be plugged into a standard 15-amp outlet.
Why is my K-9 dryer tripping my circuit breaker?
You must have at least a 20-amp outlet to run a K-9 II or K-9 III dryer. To help prevent circuit breaker trips, turn on one switch and count to 3 before turning on the second switch (2 switch models only) to avoid an amperage spike over 20 amps

How long will my filter last, and how do I clean it?
Clean filters by blowing them out, vacuuming them, or rinsing with water. Let filters dry before reusing. Filters should be cleaned daily, and busy shops should clean them multiple times daily. Average filter life is 3-6 months, but if you observe any holes or tears in the filter, it should be replaced immediately.
