Information about the device
Device description
The devices TFV 10 S / TFV 30 S were designed for a very high air flow rate. They may be used for drying carpets, buildings or screed as well as for the ventilation of poorly accessible intermediate spaces. Owing to the high air circulation, the devices can also be used to control excessive humidity levels. The fan is also very effective for the additional air circulation when heating large buildings, e.g. in the months of winter. The TFV 30 S is further equipped with a service socket, which means that you can operate another device via the same socket. This socket is ready for operation for as long as the TFV 30 S is connected to the mains – it does not need to be switched on.
Moreover, you can connect an optional three-way hose distributor to the TFV 30 S in order to direct the air current towards 3 different locations.
The cable of this device can be wound around the cable holder at the carrying handle.
The corners of the device are designed in a way that several devices can be safely stacked on top of one another for space saving storage. Do not exceed the maximum of five stacked devices.
In addition to all conventional ventilation tasks these turbo fans are also suited particularly well for the quick elimination of moisture at the underbody after driving on wet roads. The device can be set up at different angles in order to reach difficult corners or otherwise inaccessible hollows: 0°, 45°, 90°.

Transport and storage
Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of the device.
Transport
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry handle.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
- Switch the device off.
- Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
- Do not use the power cable to drag the device.
After transporting the device, proceed as follows:
- Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
Storage
When the device is not being used, observe the following storage conditions:
