Do yourself a BIG favor and check the MAX amp draw on the house
wiring circuit you are using it on. Most house circuits are only 15 amp's.

Here is the spec's on your model ....
Dryer consists of 2 motors, both with 2-stage (dual) fan, 4.0 Peak HP (totals 8.0 PHP), 58,500 ft/min air flow, 18 amps

Been drying mine with the same 99 buck Crapsman gas leaf blower I bought nine years ago. Still runs good. Never hurt a thing.

The only down side to the leaf blower is the unfiltered air. Imagine what 150 mph of unfiltered grit and dust can do to ones paint, can you say Sandblaster!

Just imagine what riding down the interstate at 80mph for days even weeks would do the paint. So if just riding will damage the paint lets just keep it parked in the shop with a cover over it.

Sorry folks, I bought my HD to ride not stand around and admire. Riding will do more damage than a leaf blower. Bugs, pea gravel, you name it. Its going to hit it if you ride it.

Here we go again . . . just hope it doesn't come to blows. (pun intended) LOL

I have the $300 8hp Master Blaster.

I know, I know. I could buy 10 leaf blowers for that.

I guess I'm just a sucker for a great product. I love mine. Hung it on the wall, bought a 10 foot extension hose and now I don't have to drag it around when I use it.

Default Seconds on the pet dryer

I was thinking of getting one of the Air Force Dryers and then my wife decided that she needed a pet dryer for our 2 Newfoundlands and ordered one. Well low and behold it is exactly the same machine only orange and a lot cheaper than the "bike" ones. With the dogs she went for the top of the line 4 hp model.

I love this thing.

Getting a dryer that works for dogs and bikes .........great!

Getting one that came out of her dog budget instead of my motorcycle budget.....priceless

Thanks Rob, but I haven't had a problem with it in over 2 years. That thing is powerful. Blew two monster White Tail bucks off the front lawn the other morning, and they didn't know what hit em....
