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 some time 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 fresh air.
Specifications

Model#| HP| RPM| Motor| Height x Width xDepth| Weight (lbs.)
---|---|---|---|---|---
AF200| 1 3/4| 3600| AIR| 28.5” x 28” x 18.75”| 110

This ventilator is designed for high powered air movement. Super Vac’s patented propeller produces a greater intake of air and eliminates turbulence at the tips. The high velocity screw action sweeps air back over the motor, enabling it to run cooler. The patented 4-Blade propeller is cast from aluminum alloy. Each blade is statically balanced for high efficiency and long life.
All Super Vac ventilators are designed to accept optional spiral duct and adapters. Placing adapter and ducts on the output side provides positive pressure ventilation. Place adapter and duct on the input side for negative pressure ventilation.
The square housing design gives the unit added strength and stability. Handles on each corner makes the ventilator easy to hang on windows, doorways or ladders.

Product Safety Precautions

• Do not use the ventilator for purposes other than its’ intended use.
•  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.
• 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 disconnect power source. Be certain all mechanical motion has stopped before removing foreign object.
• Air motor is designed to be driven by compressed air and under no circumstances is to be driven with any other gases.
• Always disconnect air supply before servicing.
• Do not exceed the maximum operating air pressure of 100 PSI.
• Do not place or operate ventilator on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or other unstable surfaces.
• Never use this ventilator in any explosive environment.

Before Operating Ventilator

• Always operate this ventilator from a proper compressed air source. Never use combustible gases to power the motor.
• A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.
• Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.
• Drain any accumulated moisture from the air filter.
• Check automatic lubricator oil level. Replenish oil as necessary.
• Inspect inlet and outlet guards for damage or missing pieces. Replace damaged or missing guards before operating ventilator.

Operation

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. Place ventilator in desired location before connecting to air supply.
WARINNG Extend and place any flexible duct as required. Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into confined spaces with the ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke Ventilation for comprehensive instruction on effective ventilation practices.
Connect air supply line to ventilator. Turn ball valve lever to the open position to begin ventilation. Adjust blade speed with air regulator.
To stop ventilation, move ball valve lever to closed position, disconnect air supply line.

Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance should only be performed by experienced and trained personnel.
Be sure the ventilator is disconnected from the air supply source before performing any maintenance or repair.
The motor requires lubrication within the air supply at the rate of 1 drop of oil for every 50 CFM of air going through. Lubrication is necessary for all internal moving parts and rust prevention.
The ventilator blade should be specially checked for build-up of material or dirt which may cause an imbalance. Excessive imbalance can lead to accelerated wear on motor bearings and vibration. Remove ventilator guards. Clean blade and inside housing with mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasives, sharp instruments or caustic solvents
that may scratch or damage the aluminum alloy blade..
Intake and exhaust guards are not interchangeable. When replacing guards after cleaning, position them with the rings to the outside with the row of spot welds holding the rings on the bottom.
