Always use safe and common sense precautions when working with Air-Care equipment. Do not
block walkways with equipment, and remove delicate and breakable articles from the immediate work
area. The following are precautions that should be reviewed by all persons who will be involved in the
cleaning activity:
• Other than the 3 filters, there are no user serviceable components in Air-Care TurboJets. Only trained
technicians should attempt to make internal repairs on this equipment.
• Always turn o the main power switches on the TurboJet front Panel, or disconnect the power before
opening or removing the doors or filters.
• Inspect AC power plug to be sure the ground pin is in place. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Plug power cords directly into 2 independent power outlets.
• Never connect power to Air-Care equipment unless all covers and safety shields are in place.
Mechanical and electrical parts could activate and cause injury.
• Never allow anyone but a properly trained technician to use the equipment or cleaning products.
• All Air-Care equipment is designed for US standard 115 volt, 60 Hz AC. Most Air-Care equipment can
be special ordered to meet other worldwide standards for a reasonable price and delivery schedule.
Always check the specifications on the equipment before connecting electrical power to Air-Care
equipment.
Handle is bubble wrapped and packed near
the bottom, front of TurboJet. It must be
installed with the 4 bolts provided and your
½” socket wrench or nut driver.

Set-Up and Testing
Air-Care TurboJet Negative air machines are designed to “Pull” loose debris out of the air system to
which they are connected and filter out harmful debris such as pollen, dust, mold spores and other
debris with their 3 stage HEPA filter system. An agitating device to “Push” debris is required to properly
clean an air system. The Cobra Power Brush System or the Air Whisk and Sidewinder air tools are
designed to loosen and agitate debris so the TurboJet can pull it out. See the “Duct Cleaning” section
on page 8 of this manual for a summary of proper duct cleaning procedures.
To test the TurboJet, be sure all filters are in place and the Top is closed and latched in place.
1. Set the “Run” switch is in “STOP” Position.
2. TURN OFF the Circuit Breakers.
3. Connect ONE or TWO, 12 gauge x 25-foot power cords, with GROUND Pins, to 2 separate outlets
that DO NOT have other devices plugged into them. (220 Volt Version has one twist lock cord and one
dual circuit breaker/power awitch).
4. AFTER the power cord or power cords are connected, Turn on BOTH circuit breaker switches and
wait 5 seconds.
Status Lights
120 Volt Model:
Red/Green Status LED. The TurboJet SuperMax will operate with one or two 120 volt AC power Cords
connected to 2 separate circuits rated at 15 Amps or 20 Amps each, non GFI.
If all circuits are fitted with GFI outlets, or circuit breakers, ONLY ONE power cord can be used.
With one Power Cord the SuperMax will run up to 1.5 Horsepower, while connecting a Second Power
Cord to an outlet on a SEPARATE Circuit Breaker, will allow the SuperMax to run up to 3 Horsepower.
The SuperMax 220 volt model:
Does not require the electronic pre-test. required for 120 volt dual power cord version. The single LED
should light up when the breaker switch is activated. If the light fails to light, there is a problem with
power or the power cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE 6

If the Motor fails to start,
or the Status Light is out,
Turn o the Breakers
and disconnect the Power
Cords for 3-4 Minutes, then
reconnect, and turn on
both breaker switches at
the same time, and wait 5
– 10 seconds before starting
the Motor. If this does not
clear the error condition,
call:
Air-Care, Tech Support
800-322-9919
The Motor will not run
before the 5 second
Diagnostic check has
completed. If the Motor
fails to run with a solid
Green Light, there was
a power surge in the
building. In this Case,
Turn OFF BOTH Breaker
Switches, wait 3 Minutes
for the Circuit to reset, then
Power ON BOTH breaker
switches, and then try the
RUN switch again.
LED IS OFF
No Power is being supplied by
either cord.
ACTION:
Turn OFF the Breaker Switches,
Move the cords to new outlets
and turn on both breaker
switches.
FLASHING RED LIGHT
The Power On test found that
there is NO Ground connection
in either power cord.
ACTION:
For Safety, there MUST be a
ground connection. Replace
any power cord that does not
have the round, grounding
prong on the plug.
SOLID GREEN
Power Connected Main
Switches turned on. Five second
diagnostic check in progress.
ACTION:
The Green LED will be on for
5 seconds while Power On
Diagnostics Run.
SOLID RED AFTER 5
SECONDS
The Diagnostics have found a
fault that will prevent the motor
from running.
ACTION:
Turn o BOTH breaker switches
on the panel, then Turn them
BOTH back on together. If the
Red Light comes on again, after
5 seconds,
Contact Air- Care Tech Support

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Eective duct cleaning can be accomplished with the TurboJet connected to one of the following
positions in the duct system. The “best” location is determined by the specific configuration of the
particular air system.
A. With a basement or crawlspace air conditioner/furnace
Cutting an access hole in the side of the supply side main trunk line is very eective. Be sure that
no airflows through the furnace. To stop air from coming through the furnace, block the return
openings with cardboard and duct tape. An alternate way to block the airflow would be to slip
the customers existing furnace filter in a plastic trash bag and reinstall. If there are returns in each
room, you will also need to connect to the return trunk line at the furnace and block it o while
cleaning the return ducts.
B. With a garage, interior closet or roof mounted up-flow air conditioner/furnace
Just remove the diuser grill from a large ceiling or wall mounted supply duct and use the Pogo
Pole hose adapter to connect the TurboJet inlet hose to the system. Connecting to a large supply
duct is very eective. Gravity will help “pull” dust and debris into the Turbojet.
In some cases, it may be best to attach the TurboJet to each Supply or return duct and insert the
agitation device into that same duct opening to disturb debris as far up stream and down stream as
possible.
To obtain maximum “pull”, always keep the attaching hose as short and as straight as possible.
ATTACHING TURBOJET HOSE TO THE AIR SYSTEM
PAGE 8

1. Bring the TurboJet into
close proximity to the planned
connection ducts.
4. Connect the other end to
the most eective supply duct
location using the optional Pogo
Pole hose adapter or 12” adapter
plate.
2. Connect the two 12 gauge,
grounded, electrical power
cords to Two Independent
electrical outlets (110V, 15AMP
or more). It is recommended
to NOT use longer or smaller
gauge extension cords. The
SuperMax will NOT run without
a good ground connection
in the power cord, this is a
SAFETY Feature.
5. Close o the return side of
air handler by putting a filter in
a plastic bag and reinstalling it
into its holder.
3. Connect a 12” hose to the
12” TurboJet inlet. To obtain
maximum “pull”, always keep the
attaching hose as short and as
straight as possible.
6. Turn on BOTH Circuit Breaker
switches (within 2 seconds of
each other) at the bottom of the
panel then Select “Power Level
“1” if using one Power Cord, or
Power Level “3” if using 2 power
cords. Power Levels “2” and “4”
can be used if the Circuits are
rated for 20 Amps.
DUCT CLEANING PROCEDURES
PAGE 9

7. Use the RUN switch to start
the Turbo SuperMax motor.
8. Follow recommended
procedure to clean each supply,
beginning at the most distant
one, using the Cobra Power
Brush System, Sidewinder or Air
Whisk (sold separately).
9. After all ducts are cleaned,
the ducts can be fogged with an
EPA registered Deodorizer and
Soot Set Sealer.
10. Before fogging the supplies, turn o the power switch.
11. Remove hose from the top of the TurboJet.
12. Place a piece of pellon, 20” X 22” over the 12” inlet.
13. Re-install the hose, and turn on the power switch.
14. Fog the supplies, beginning with the most distant supply.
15. When the fogging is complete, turn o the power; remove the hose from the TurboJet and the
supply duct.
16. Remove and discard pellon.
17. Inspect first stage filter, if loaded with debris, take the TurboJet out of the building and dump it out
or replace as required.
18. Inspect electrostatic flex filter and wash if soiled.
19. Unplug power cords, put TurboJet back into the vehicle, and complete the job.
