Breakage or Damage During Shipment

The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve problems promptly if you handle it correctly.
Please read these instructions carefully.
Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation agent at once and have them make a description on the freight or express bill describing the damage and the number of pieces. Then write us and we will send you the original bill of lading. Get a claim blank from the express or truck company. Fill the claim form out. Attach the claim blank to the original bill of lading together with a copy of our invoice. Attach a memo on which you show the value of the damaged goods. Mail or hand these papers to your local transportation agent. They will process your claim with reasonable promptness.
Please note, we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it would be sent to your local freight agent for verification and investigation. This time can be saved by your filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground floor and in contact with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given individual attention. Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express companies, we cannot allow deduction from any invoice because of any damage, however, be sure to file your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B. factory. We take receipt from the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order, and our responsibility ceases.
It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments, and in no case will the customer be out any expense if they follow the above instructions. Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company inspector, who may call on you sometime later. These damaged goods, of course, will belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you dispose of these damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

General Description and Specifications

Super Vac ventilators are specifically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of air. Super Vac positive pressure ventilators are tested to AMCA Standard 240-15, for use in extreme conditions.

Model #	RPM	Motor	H x W x D	Weight
V20-BL-SP	2000	1 HP Variable Speed DC	28.25″ x 28.75″ x 12.5″	62 lbs

Specifications are subject to change without notification. Refer to model decal affixed to ventilator to determine actual specifications.

This ventilator is designed for high powered air movement. Super Vac’s propeller produces a greater intake of air and reduces turbulence at the tips. Each blade is dynamically balanced for high efficiency and long life.

Product Safety Precautions

Wear eye and ear protection when operating the ventilator.
Never operate ventilator while fatigued.
Do not disassemble or modify the ventilator in any way. Doing so may lead to mechanical failure or personal injury.
Do not wear loose clothing that could become entangled in the operating ventilator.
Never permit anyone to operate ventilator without proper instruction.
Do not operate ventilator without proper inlet or outlet guards in place. If guards are missing or damaged, contact factory for replacements.
Do not place fingers or other foreign objects through inlet or outlet guards. Should a foreign object enter the ventilator, immediately stop motor. Be certain all mechanical motion has stopped. Do not use with any power voltage other than the indicated voltage.
Never handle energized power cords with wet hands.
Do not place or operate ventilator on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or other unstable surfaces. Never use this ventilator in any explosive environment.
Never let extension cords or plug connections lay in water. Locate the ventilator so that it cannot fall into water inadvertently.

Before Operating Ventilator

4. Before Operating Ventilator

This ventilator will work with any M18 battery from the Milwaukee brand.
A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.
Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.
Check ventilator inlet and outlet guards for obstructions. Check and remove from immediate surrounding area any objects that could be drawn into the ventilator intake.
Replace damaged or missing guards before operating ventilator.
Never store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the
battery terminals contact loose nails, screws, keys, hand tools, and the like.
If using shore or mains power:
- Never use power cords with frayed, cut, or brittle insulation.
- Inspect power cord plug for proper connections to the ground fault interrupter circuit.

Airflow vs Setback

Operation

Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into confined spaces with the ventilator.
Insert a Milwaukee M18 battery until it clicks. Only one battery is necessary for operation.
Battery removal will get easier with more remove/replace cycles. The Battery Adapter & M18 Battery interface is required by Milwaukee.
Fan will need to be reset (turned off & on) if a new battery is inserted.
If fan is not reset, then the fan will not recognize the new battery and run until previous battery is empty.
If using shore (mains) power, use an extension cord to connect to 110 – 240V AC.
Press and hold power button until blue backlight indicates powering up.
When the fan is on, it will need to run at the minimum speed allowed by Milwaukee. (This feature is to protect the batteries from small parasitic draws)
Turn speed control clockwise until desired speed is reached.
Power button will indicate approximate power left. (It is normal for colors to flicker back and forth if 2 batteries are being used)
- Green: 50 – 100%
- Yellow: 20 – 50%
- Red: 0 – 20% (Low Battery Warning: Front Facing LED will also flash if turned on)
To turn off, press and hold power button until blue backlight shows.

Battery Run Times at Max Speed

Runtimes dependent on air density, temperature, and age of batteries. Test data shown taken at 5000ft elevation, 25% RH, 70°F with new batteries.
Air density is primarily affected by elevation, humidity, and temperature.
At temperatures below freezing expect battery life to decrease.
Other M18 Batteries will operate the fan, but at reduced runtimes.

Charging the Battery Packs

Remove Milwaukee batteries from fan.
Insert in Milwaukee M18 Charger. Use only Milwaukee brand chargers.
When the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range
(40-105°F or 5-40°C), the red light on the charger will flash and the batterywill not charge.
Once the battery pack is within the acceptable temperature range, normal charging will take place.
Using the Milwaukee SuperChargerTM, a 12Ah battery will recharge in 60 minutes and 8Ah battery will recharge in 45 minutes.
Other Milwaukee chargers, including units that work with vehicle DC power, may take longer to fully charge the batteries.

CAUTION:

Do not store battery packs or chargers above 120°F (50°C) or in direct sunlight.
Never use charger or batteries in explosive atmospheres.
Never attempt to open the battery pack. If cracked or damaged, return it to a service center for recycling.
Do not splash or immerse charger in water or other liquids.

Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly:

Calibrate Battery
• Fully charging, then fully discharging, and fully charging once again before storage
• Replace battery (-ies) if battery shows signs of damage from dropping or excessive heat
Check for loose fasteners
Check condition of the power cord (if purchased with Shore Power) (14mm) wrench.

Yearly:

Battery Condition
• Check runtime in low wind and average temperature conditions
• If runtime is below 75% of advertised runtime, replacing batteries is recommended
Excessive vibration
• Blade imbalance due to accumulation of dirt on blade
Check Blade interference
• Remove front guard and rotate manually to check for interference

Warranty

Super Vacuum Manufacturing Company warrants that the equipment is free from defects in materials and workmanship when used and operated for a period of five years, excluding the motor which has a 3-year warranty.

Prior to returning defective parts to SUPER VACUUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY, the original purchaser shall make a claim in writing to SUPER VACUUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY at the above address indicating the model number and type of defect. No parts or equipment will be received by SUPER VACUUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY for repair or replacement under this warranty without specific written authority from it in advance.
Any parts damaged by improper installation, overloading, abuse or accident of any type or cause are not covered by this warranty.
