WARNING

Typical Saddle Vent® Setup Procedure
Place fan or blower a minimum of
5 ft. (1.6m) from manhole opening
Blower or Fan
90° Elbow
Manhole
Opening
Manhole Lid
Universal Mount
Saddle Vent®
Select a blower or fan based on environmental
conditions and the size of the confi ned space.
For information or guidance in selecting the
proper set-up, please contact Customer Service.
STEP 1) Install 6 ft. (1.8m) duct on blower or fan
STEP 2) Install 90° elbow on top of Saddle Vent®
STEP 3) Install duct on bottom of Saddle Vent®
STEP 4) Install universal mount on Saddle Vent® and
set in place with manhole lid for support
STEP 5) Install duct from blower to 90° elbow
STEP 6) Turn on blower or fan
Warning: For explosive environments,
follow ANSI/API 2015 and 2016 procedures

The Conductive Saddle Vent® is covered by U.S. and Foreign Patents
WARNING: HAZARDOUS LOCATION OPERATIONS
Use an explosion-proof or intrinsically safe blower or fan,
conductive ducting, and The Conductive Saddle Vent® System.
Attach all grounding wires and assure a complete circuit to the
blower or fan in order to remove static charges.
The Saddle Vent® Ventilation System
2
All ventilation procedures should comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Air quality should be tested
prior to ventilating a confi ned space. Air quality should be tested continuously during confi ned space occupancy to ensure
a stable atmosphere and worker safety as atmospheric conditions can change rapidly. Additional procedures and recom-
mendations are available from federal, state, and local agencies. DO NOT operate these fan units in a vertical
position or with the  ange or guards removed.
If volatile or explosive vapors are suspected, use Air Systems’ explosion proof electric blower, Model SVB-E8EXP, explo-
sion proof in-line fan, Model SVF-10EXP, explosion proof contractors fan, Model CVF-8EXP or Air Systems’ intrinsically
safe pneumatic blower, Model SVB-A8.
Note: For confi ned space ventilation in non-hazardous locations, use Air Systems’ confi ned space ventilation kit, Model
SV-CUP. For hazardous locations use ventilation kit, Model SV-CUPCND along with one of the above explosion proof
blowers or fans.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
WARNING
Fan and blower models with the “EX” or “X” designation are the only models
approved for use in hazardous locations.
WARNING
Explosion proof models should be fi tted with an approved explosion proof plug.
The plug should NOT be connected or disconnected in an explosive environ-
ment when the blower is energized. The use of conductive ducting is recom-
mended when operating in potentially explosive environments. Install ground-
ing cable from blower to a grounded source.

Specications

STEP 1)
Place fan in a clean, fresh air environment.
Note: Inspect fan for damaged or worn parts. Inspect all ducting and couplings for possible air leaks prior to fan
operation.
Note: Air quality of the conned space should be tested prior to ventilation. If air quality of the conned space is
unacceptable, consult a trained professional.
STEP 2)
Install duct cuff to exhaust ange and tighten cinch strap. Keep bends and kinks in ducting to a minimum to maximize air
ow.
STEP 3)
Connect power cord to a 115 VAC/60 Hz receptacle for model SVF-10E or to a 220 VAC/50 Hz receptacle for model SVF-
10AC50.
NOTE: If an extension cord is to be used, the minimum recommended size is 14 AWG up to 25 ft. For longer
cords, refer to the National Electric Cord tables, Article 400.

Setup And Operation
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Excessive vibration
Air intake blocked Turn fan off and clear debris from intake.
Possible internal damage
Turn off and inspect fan blades, shaft, and housing
for debris, damage, and loose screws.
Note: Never run fan for extended periods without
installing duct on the exhaust  ange.
Possible external damage Turn fan off and inspect for loose guards,
broken welds, etc.
Circuit breaker trips Voltage output insuffi cient Test outlet with volt meter.
Automatic thermal over-
load in motor trips
Extension cord is not of suffi cient
gauge
Eliminate extension cord and restart or
obtain extension cord of suffi cient gauge
