BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Warranty registration
Warranty registration procedures vary by region. Contact
your local distributor for assistance. Registration allows
us to better assist you with using, maintaining or
servicing your equipment and to contact you in case we
have important safety information concerning your Dri-
Eaz product. If you determine service is required, have
your equipment model, serial number and original proof
of purchase available and ask for assistance with
obtaining a return material authorization (RMA).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Vortex Axial Fan is designed for air ventilation,
circulation, and extraction, and for drying of wet
materials and structures with airflow.
The Vortex can be used with or without attached ducting.
It is useful for either positive or negative airflow, that is,
blowing air into or extracting air from spaces. An arrow
on the housing indicates air direction.
Inspect the inlet and outlet screens before plugging in
the unit, and remove any debris that may restrict airflow.
When Used with Ducting
Do not install ducting when the Vortex is operating. To
install ducting, first note the direction of airflow. Place
end of ducting over the duct ring and attach securely.
Ducting to fit the Vortex is available from your Dri-Eaz
distributor. Ducting has quick connect straps plus a
snap-in ring used to fasten two sections of ducting
together.
Confined Space Ventilation
Position the Vortex at least five feet away from the entry
to the confined space. Place it upwind so that purged
gases do not re-enter the unit. Make sure the inlet is not
blocked by a wall or other obstruction.
Place the other end of the ducting in the confined space,
angled so it points at an end wall. Keep it pointed at an
end wall to prevent pockets of unmoving air, and to keep
fresh air circulating to all locations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Internal repair procedures should be
performed by a qualified technician from an
authorized service center.
WARNING: Disconnect from electrical supply prior to
servicing or cleaning.
Cord Inspection: Inspect the electrical cord for damage.
Units with damaged cords must be removed from
service and repaired before use. Failure to do so may
lead to electrical shock or a fire hazard.
Exterior Inspection: Evaluate exterior components and
make sure that all are in proper operating condition.
Repair or replace components as required. Run the unit
briefly; listen for abnormal sounds and repair as needed.
Clean Exterior: Clean the exterior plastic housing with
mild detergent and water. For deep cleaning and a
lasting, protective shine, use a vinyl cleaner and
protectant.
Motor Bearings: The bearings on the Dri-Eaz Vortex
are permanently lubricated. No oiling is necessary.
