4. To attach the head unit to the extension pole, loosen the thumb screw on the bottom of the head unit. Place the head unit on the extension pole and tighten the thumb screw in alignment with the groove on the internal pole. [See Fig.4]

CAUTION: Height adjustment ring must be fully fastened before the assembly of the motor section to the extension pole.

GUARD & FAN BLADE ASSEMBLY

1. Unscrew the spinner clockwise (or take the spinner out from the bag) and the plastic nut counter clockwise to remove both. Fix the rear guard to the motor then tighten the plastic nut again. [See Fig.5]
2. Insert the blade into the shaft, and make sure the rotor shaft pin is fitted into the groove of the blade. Turn the spinner counter clockwise to tighten the blade. [See Fig.6]
3. Fix the front guard and the rear guard with the circlip and then use the fasten clip to tighten the fan guard. [See Fig.7]

b. BATTERIES (not included)

1. Slide the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, and make sure that the batteries are placed as shown in Fig.10.
3. Slide back the battery cover.

NOTES: Use size “AAA” manganese or alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

c. BATTERY WARNING AS BELOW

• "Do not dispose of batteries in fire; batteries may explode or leak."
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

d. REMOTE CONTROLLER OPERATION

Point the remote controller at the receptor on the body of the fan and press the desired button. The remote controller will work at distances of up to roughly five meters and at an angle of 30 degrees included between right and left from the receptor. The batteries must be removed from the remote controller before it is scrapped and that they are disposed of safely.

e. OVERHEAT PROTECTION OF THE MOTOR

The windings of the motor have a thermal-fuse that burns out and the fan switches off if the temperature of the motor is no longer going up. This prevents plastic parts of the fan from deforming or burning due to overheating for any unexpected reason.

II. Control Panel

Refer to Fig.9. These keys on the control panel may be used the same as the remote controller.

III. Tilt Adjustment

To adjust the airflow upward or downward, push the guards lightly to the desired direction.

IV. Height Adjustment

The height of the fan can be adjusted by loosening the locknut, carefully raising or lowering the fan, and firmly re-tightening the locknut.

Maintenance Instruction

The fan requires little maintenance. Do not try to fix it yourself. Refer it to qualified service personnel if service is needed.

1. Before cleaning and assembling, the fan must be unplugged.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation to the motor, keep vents at the rear of the motor free of dust. Do not disassemble the fan to remove dust.
3. Please wipe the exterior parts with a soft cloth soaking a mild detergent.
4. Do not use any abrasive detergent or solvents to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use any of the following as a cleaner: gasoline, thinner, bending.
