T5000 (MB50) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT
GENERAL SAFETY
Never place anything on top of the unit and never obstruct its air
inlet/outlet grills. Leave a 300mm gap all around the unit to let the air
circulate. ALWAYS switch OFF unit and unplug when not in use
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This fan unit plugs into either a standard 240v 13amp or a 110v power supply,
depending on the model (see Data plate or the voltage type). The plug (240V
MODELS ONLY) is fitted with a 13amp fuse.
DO NOT FLASH TEST ABOVE 1250V. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR
Extension leads should be: correctly rated for the inductive load, fully
unwound, loosely coiled and never run through water or over sharp edges
To reduce the risk of electric shock use a suitable RCD (residual current
device). NEVER pull the equipment by its flex.
SET UP & OPERATION
Set the unit up on a firm, level surface and do not site the unit close to any
personnel wearing contact lenses, sensitive to any dust movement, hay-fever
sufferers etc. This unit moves air only, but minute particles of dust/pollen
etc. will also be moved, especially on the highest fan setting, so careful
location/fan angle/use of speed control will require consideration.
The body of the fan is held in position via the side mounted hand-wheels. To
adjust, slacken the wheels to allow the fan body to be move. Once the desired
angle is reached, ensure the hand-wheels are turned hand tight to prevent
movement
The air-flow from the fan exits from the side with the speed controller on it
(the front), the intake side is opposite Plug the unit into the relevant power
supply and switch ON.
Press the red ‘rocker’ switch, on the front of the unit to ON, which will then
illuminate. ALWAYS START THE FAN ON THE HIGHEST SPEED SETTING. The fan blade
should immediately start to turn & the speed can be controlled with the knob
on the control panel, turning CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE, ANTI-CLOCKWISE TO
DECREASE. Do not force the knob past the stop point, you will damaged the
speed controller.
EQUIPMENT CARE & STORAGE
NEVER use an air mover except for its intended purpose.
Keep the equipment clean & especially the grill faces. Blow out the grills
with the compressed air if ‘clogged’ up.
NEVER MOVE THE UNIT WHILST OPERATING
Switch the unit OFF and unplug from its power supply, wrap the cable round the
storage ears.
