Operational Use
In case when the portable fan is applied for local exhaust (technological extraction), connect a
hose
(of adequate diameter)
to the suction ferrule.
Additionally, the hose must be tipped with a
suitable suction nozzle. Example application with a magnetic suction hood
is illustrated in the
Photo No.1a below.

– Examples of application along with the hoods
When the portable fan
is applied for general ventilation,
it is important to introduce a hose (into
the ventilated room), whereby the hose
ought to be connected to
the suction ferrule or to the out-
let fitting piece of the fan.
In case of application for drying the
humid
walls of a room, simply put the fan into the room and
direct
the air
discharge
onto the humid wall. The discharge
hose must be conducted outside
the
room.
As another option, the portable fan can be placed outside the building (the drying air has
to be
forced through an air supply hose into the humid room).
Here, it is important to protect the fan
from atmospheric factors by a hood / cover. In this application, the suction
nozzle can be equip-
ped with a suction stand with a directing spout nozzle (see Photo No.1b).
In case when any defective function of the device occurs (e.g. improper
noises
or the faulty out
-
look of the device) follow steps as in Section 8.
