Important Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using this fan.
- Use this fan only as described in this manual. Other uses not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this fan to water or rain.
- Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
- Always unplug the fan before moving, cleaning, or when not in use.
- Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the fan.
- Do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
- This fan is intended for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
- This fan has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Operating Instructions
Your HiCFM Pedestal Fan offers powerful airflow and versatile adjustments:
- Power On/Off and Speed Selection: Plug the 9-foot SJT power cord into a standard 120V / 60Hz electrical outlet. Use the rotation switch located on the motor housing to turn the fan on and select one of the three speed settings: Low (5000 CFM), Medium (6200 CFM), or High (8300 CFM).
- Oscillation Function: To activate the 80-degree oscillation, engage the oscillation pin located on the top of the motor housing. To stop oscillation, disengage the pin.
- Tilting Adjustment: The fan head can be tilted 20 degrees (10 degrees downward and 10 degrees upward) to direct airflow precisely. Loosen the tilt adjustment knob on the side of the fan head, adjust to the desired angle, and then firmly tighten the knob.

Airflow and Noise Characteristics
The HiCFM fan is designed for powerful air movement. At high speed, airflow can reach up to 8.9 m/s. Due to its high velocity, the fan produces a notable noise level. Noise measurements are approximately 67 dB at 1 meter, 63 dB at 2 meters, and 60 dB at 3 meters from the fan.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fan:
- Cleaning: Always unplug the fan before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the fan blades and guards, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the fan is completely dry before plugging it back in.
- Motor: The motor is equipped with shielded ball bearings and does not require lubrication.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the fan in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or covered to protect it from dust.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your fan, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on | No power supply Damaged power cord/plug Fan switch is off | Check if the plug is securely in the outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. Do not use if damaged. Ensure the rotation switch is set to a speed setting (1, 2, or 3). |
| Reduced airflow | Fan blades or guards are dirty Obstruction in front or behind the fan | Unplug the fan and clean the blades and guards as per maintenance instructions. Ensure there is clear space around the fan for optimal airflow. |
| Fan is excessively noisy | Loose parts Fan is not on a level surface Debris in fan blades | Unplug the fan and check for any loose screws or components. Tighten if necessary. Place the fan on a stable, level surface. Unplug the fan and carefully remove any debris from the blades. |
| Oscillation not working | Oscillation pin not engaged/disengaged properly | Ensure the oscillation pin on the motor housing is correctly engaged or disengaged according to your desired operation. |
