Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fan from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. If damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact customer support.
2. Placement: Position the fan on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the air intake and exhaust to allow for optimal airflow. For drying applications, direct the airflow towards the wet area.
3. Power Connection: Uncoil the 25-foot power cord. Plug the 3-prong NEMA 5-15P plug into a standard 115V, 60Hz grounded electrical outlet.
4. Daisy-Chaining (Optional): If connecting multiple units, plug the first unit into the wall outlet. Then, plug the power cord of the second unit into the GFCI outlet located on the first unit. Repeat for additional units, up to a maximum of 5 units, ensuring the total amperage draw does not exceed the circuit's capacity.
