Please read these instructions carefully. Examine the contents of all shipping cases.

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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING CAUTION: Motors are equipped with thermal overload protection. When internal motor temperature exceeds design limits, the motor will automatically shut off. Motor will automatically restart when it cools sufficiently after overheating. Remove power cord plug from AC receptacle before examining or working on a motor which has stopped because of overheating. Thermal overload protection sensitivity increases with frequency. Take preventative steps to correct cause of overheating to assure long motor life. Most overheating problems are associated with the use of portable power generators as the ventilator power supply. COMMON CAUSES OF MOTOR OVERHEATING: · Power generator not providing constant voltage. Ventilators are equipped with AC motors designed to operate on power that falls between ±3% of design specifications. · Using too small gauge of extension cord. · Exceeding maximum length extension cord. · Insufficient unobstructed distance on exhaust side of ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke Ventilation for recommended ventilator placement. · Insufficient wattage generator. When running multiple ventilators on one generator, plug ventilators in one at a time. Wait until first ventilator is running at full speed before connecting next ventilator to generator. Do not exceed generator capacity. · Using accessory ducting of too small a diameter or excessive length. · Incorrect amperage circuit breaker for circuit load · Using reeled or coiled extension cords.
