Installer’s & Owner’s Manual

4. Unit Assembly
4.1 Installing Feet (Optional)

Included with your SAKURA Dry-Boy 
are four leveling feet. It 
is important to level the unit for 
proper draining.  (See section 
5.1.4, Figure 6)

Installing Leveling Feet 
See Figures 2 and 2a for installing leveling feet.
1.  Lay down a protective pad (pillow, blanket, etc.).
2.   Carefully turn unit onto side opposite filter opening and drain 

port.

3.   Align leveling foot shaft with one of the four threaded hole 

locations as shown in Figure 2.

4. Screw each leveling foot in ten revolutions.
5. Carefully bring unit to upright position.
6.   Level unit for proper drainage as described in section 5.1.4 

(Figure 6) of this manual.

7. Wait 10 minutes before operating.

 CAUTION!

Note: Operating the unit immediately after bringing it to an upright 
position can possibly damage the compressor. A short amount 
of time is needed to allow the oil to return to it’s reservoir for 
lubrication.

4.2 Drain Hose

Take drain hose off of drain port. With scissors, cut one inch off of 
hose end to eliminate dented area. Place drain hose end on drain 
port until fully seated. Refer to Section 5.1.4 regarding proper 
drainage.

5. Installation
5.1 Location

SAKURA Dry-Boy  can be installed in a variety oflocations to 
meet the owner’s needs, but should beinstalled directly in the area 
to be dehumidified. Other considerations include:

1.   Providing access to a 115 VAC power outlet (10' power cord 

is provided).

2.   Locating near a floor or other suitable drain (8' drain hose 

included).

3.   Do not install SAKURA Dry-Boy  with the intake or 

exhaust of the unit within 1' of a wall or other obstruction. 
Do not place the unit where curtains or debris can be 
drawn onto the intake and restrict airflow. Do not operate in 
standing water or place the unit near open water. Refer to 
Figure 5.

4.   SAKURA Dry-Boy  drains via a gravity system. A level 

indicator has been included near the intake of the unit. 
To ensure the unit will drain properly, the unit should be 
positioned so the level bubble appears in the non-shaded 
area of the level indicator as shown. Refer to Figure 6. If 
the unit is placed on an unlevel surface, adjust leveling feet 
using a crescent wrench or 7/16" open wrench. Move handle 
end of wrench from left to right to lower one foot. Adjust all 
four feet underneath the unit until bubble in the level dial is 
in the correct position. Failure to level the unit may result 
in leakage or improper drainage. See Section 4.2 regarding 
drain hose installation.
