DESCRIPTION
The Abestorm crawlspace ventilator series is designed to circulate fresh
outdoor air under the house and porch. Excessive humidity in crawl Spaces is a
major cause of premature decay of support columns, joists, floors and beam
supports. Humidity can promote fungal growth and increase termite activity.
Humidity can also cause pipes to rust, corrode and fail.
Continuous operations help release radon gas, treated wood exhaust and other
odors that may migrate to living areas. NeatyFresh 260,NeatyFresh 540,and
NeatyFresh 720 are equipped with a humidity switch. If the relative humidity
rises above a selected set value, the dehumidifier will start the fan.
IMPORTANT: All models are equipped with factory pre-installed thermostats
to prevent fan operation when outdoor temperatures fall below 35°F. When the
outdoor temperature rises to near 50°F, the fan will return to normal
operation.
Protection level: IP55. Our motor has better dust proof and water proof
performance.
Al three crawlspace ventilators are also equipped with stainless steel insect
mesh to more effectively block crawlers from entering the fan and the room.
(For example, crustaceans and reptiles with bodies larger than 0.14 inches.)

motors facing inside the crawlspace.
- Remove the cover of existing doors or ventilation holes around the building.
- Place the crawl space ventilator above the vent
- If mounted on a base block or brick, mark positions at the four comers of the metal panel and drill 5/16″ holes with a masonry bit. Install wall anchors at the opening and secure the crawlspace ventilator to the wall with 4 screws.
- If installed on a mesh of wood aggregate, edge oists, or existing crawlspace vents, secure crawl space vents with screws, washers, and nuts at the four corners of the metal panel of the vent.

FAULT DESCRIPTION
Question: What may cause the fan to stop?
Answer: 1. First check whether the crawling space reaches the humidity you set or the fan shuts down due to the low outdoor temperature. If it is the above two cases, please reset your fan. 2. Check whether your circuit is normal and whether the machine is properly connected to the circuit.
Question: What is the reason for the sudden noise when the fan has been in normal use?
Answer: 1. Check whether there is any foreign matter inside the fan, which may cause the noise caused by impacting the wheel blade. 2. Check whether the mounting plate is securely assembled. Loose screws and unstable mounting plates may cause noise.
_Why is the exhaust air volume obviously lower than before
Answer: 1. The air inlet or air outlet of the fan may be blocked by objects. Please check your use space and the space outside the air outlet. 2. Check whether your current and voltage are in standard state.
If the above answers do not solve your problem, please contact us.
