USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce the risk of these hazards when using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition and that the connection does not come into contact with liquid. To keep power loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord.

Extension Cord Length	Wire Gauge A.W.G.
0 - 50 ft.	14
50 - 100 ft. 12

READ&SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Shock Hazard

Use this fan only in dry environments. This fan is not intended for use in a bathroom, laundry area, or similar locations, or near sinks, washing machines, swimming pools or other sources of water. Never locate fan where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacle. Do not use in damp environments such as flooded basements.

WARNING: Hot Surfaces

Do not touch fan motor when in use. This motor is hot when in use, to avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

WARNING: Fire Hazard

Fans have arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use near combustible materials or flammable gases or sources of heat. DO NOT USE in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable materials are used or stored. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the fan.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. Use with adequate electrical system that is up to code.

WARNING: To Prevent Electric Shock

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock, check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock

Do not use this product with any solid-state speed control device.

ENGLISH

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The fan must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without low stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, then doubt as to whether the fan is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to an - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED FAN RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT.

The fan is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a property grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor

is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.

NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.

Ensure that the fan is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FAN

Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the fan, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the fan and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the fan. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cord Sets
Ampere Rating		Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
		120V	25(7.6)	50(15.2)	100(30.5)	150(45.7)
		240V	50(15.2)	100(30.5)	200(61.0)	300(91.4)

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords use they can cause electric shock.

WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

• Thread the screw into the wheel (H), align the hole of the foot frame (F) and tighten.

Fan Operation: Always operate the fan with the cradle in its upright position. The fan itself can be titled into various positions depending on applications, including straight upward.

Fan Location: Place the fan in an area in the room that will provide the most effective air circulation.

Fan Connection: Plug fan directly into 120 volt A.C., 60Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug or fan.

NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the fan into a circuit that is servicing other electrical loads.

Turning Fan On: Place fan on stable level surface. Plug fan into properly grounded outlet. To start the fan, turn the switch from the OFF position to the desired fan speed.

Turning Fan Off: To turn the fan off, turn the switch from the current fan speed setting to the off position. Remove plug from outlet.

Adjusting Fan Tilt: Loosen the adjustment knob until the drum rotates freely on the frame. Adjust the fan to desired tilt angle and re-tighten the knob. Do not overtighten adjustment knob.
