GETTING STARTED

INSTALLING CIRCULATOR HEAD (Models 6803 & 7803 Only)
No tools required!

Gently place the circulator head face down on the ground on a soft cloth to avoid scratches or damages to the unit. Insert power cord into the top of pole (A) and pull through the bottom (B). Align the Lock Release Button (C) on circulator head with the hole (D) located on the pole. Push the pole onto the circulator head until the Lock Release Button snaps into place.

WARNING: Pinch Hazard between parts. Use caution when assembling the stand.

STAND ASSEMBLY (Models 6803 & 7803 Only)

The upper pole and lower pole are pre-assembled, with the fastening nut (E) secured on the underside of the base. Rotate fastening nut counter- clockwise to remove.
The legs are designed to fit into the grooves (F) on the underside of the base cap. Assemble all the legs onto the pole, then replace fastening nut by rotating clockwise to secure all the legs in place.

CORD MANAGEMENT

Wrap cord around Air Accelerator, located on back of unit.
Secure cord with three clips (G) located at 2, 6 and 10 o’clock positions.

ADJUSTING HEIGHT (Models 6803 and 7803 Only)

Before adjusting the height of the circulator, support the circulator head with one hand. Use your other hand to loosen the height adjustment collar by gently rotating it counter-clockwise.
Slowly raise or lower the pole to the desired height and secure into position by rotating the adjustment collar clockwise until tight.

CLEANING

GRILLE REMOVAL Screwdriver required.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing grille.

Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove grille by unscrewing the 4 screws located along the perimeter of the inlet grille at roughly 2, 5, 7, and 11 o’clock positions. This will release the grille. To reattach, position grille so the logo in the center of the grille is straight. Models 5303, 6303, 6803, 7503, 7803, align the Locator Pin (A) to reconnect grille. Once aligned replace screws.
Model 1303, align the Alignment Rib (B) to reconnect grille. Once aligned replace screws.

Cleaning

Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grille and Air Inlets.

BLADE REMOVAL Pliers recommended.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing blade.

First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning the nut clockwise to loosen. If included, remove washers and set aside. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth.
If your circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents. Do not place blade in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To reattach – be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage.
If included, reinstall provided washers and nut.
