GENERAL SETUP & OPERATION
1.)
Place fan in a clean air environment.
2.)
Air quality of the confined space should be tested prior to ventilation. If air quality of the
confined space is unacceptable, consult a trained professional.
3.)
Inspect fan for damaged or worn parts. Inspect all ducting and couplings for air leaks prior
to fan operation.
4.)
Install duct cuff to exhaust flange and tighten cinch strap. Keep bends and kinks in ducting
to a minimum to maximize air flow. If canister model is used, open lid and pull out ducting
and inspect for air leaks.
Note: Maximum recommended duct hose length is 25 ft.
5.)
Set fan upwind from the work location and a minimum of 5 ft. from manhole.
6.)
Connect fan to power source.
DC versions require 12 VDC (attach red lead to the positive terminal, black lead to the
negative terminal on battery). This unit must be run in the positive pressure mode as
this model is not approved for extracting (sucking) air.
DO NOT REVERSE
WIRING.
Warning: Vehicular electrical systems must be able to handle 15
amp service or electrical damage may occur.
AC versions require 120 VAC, 15 amp, 60Hz service.
Note: If an extension cord is required, the minimum recommended size
is 14 AWG (0-25 ft.). For further information, refer to the National Electric
Code Tables, Article 400.
7.)
Push on/off switch to “I” position.
TROUBLESHOOTING
