5. Operating Instructions

The AC Infinity AXIAL 1238 fan operates continuously once connected to a power source. There are no external controls on the fan itself. To turn the fan off, disconnect it from the power outlet.

• Power Connection: Connect the fan to a standard 115V-120V AC outlet.
• Airflow Direction: Ensure the fan is oriented to provide the desired airflow (intake or exhaust) for your application.
• Noise Level: This is a high-speed fan designed for maximum airflow. It produces a noise level of 47 dBA, which may be noticeable in quiet environments.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your fan:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and guards to prevent dust buildup, which can reduce airflow and increase noise. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Always disconnect power before cleaning.
• Inspection: Check for any loose screws or damage to the fan frame or blades. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Bearing Longevity: The dual-ball bearings are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation and do not require lubrication.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your fan, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• Fan Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the fan and a working 115V-120V AC outlet.
  • Test the outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
• Excessive Noise or Vibration:
  • Verify that the fan is securely mounted and all screws are tightened.
  • Check for any obstructions (e.g., loose wires, debris) hitting the fan blades.
  • Clean any dust buildup on the blades or guards.
  • Note that this is a high-speed fan, and a certain level of operational noise (47 dBA) is normal.
• Reduced Airflow:
  • Inspect fan blades and guards for dust or obstructions.
  • Ensure the fan is not blocked by surrounding objects.
