• Oscillation Function: To activate oscillation, press down the oscillation knob located on top of the motor housing. To stop oscillation, pull the knob up.
• Height Adjustment: To adjust the fan's height, loosen the height adjustment collar on the pole, raise or lower the upper pole section to the desired height (between 36 and 52 inches), and then securely tighten the collar.
