OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing our 18" Floor Fan - ACFV2018. Each unit has been manufactured to
ensure safety, reliability, and ease of use. Our Active Air Floor Fans are durable, high-performance
circulation floor fans that feature a redesigned motor engineered for continuous use. Offering
3-speed push button operation, they can floor to perform at a tilted or vertical angle. The fans are
very tough and will easily handle even the harshest grow room environments. Featuring whisper-
quiet operation and heavy-duty aluminum blades, they are ideal for recirculating lower-lying CO2
in the grow room up through the entire plant canopy or to nurture younger plants during the
vegetative stage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your floor fan, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• This fan is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have
been given instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner.
• Never use this floor fan near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.
• Never immerse the floor fan, plug or cord in water, or allow any liquid to come in to contact
with any part of the fan.
• Ensure that the voltage used corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating label.
• Never touch the blades with your hand or any other object!
• Do not pull the cord too hard. If it becomes damaged after prolonged use, get it repaired by a
technician.
• Never insert your fingers, pencils, or other objects through the fan guard during operation.
• The floor fan should be used on a stable and level surface.
• Do not operate without the guard being properly in place.
• Do not expose the floor fan to excessive heat or humidity. This could cause damage to the
electrical components.
• Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug is damaged, it

CLEANING
• Disconnect the power cord from the socket. Remove the guard and the blades carefully. Do
not drop the blades! First use a soft cloth with light soap to clean off oil stains. Then wipe dry

metal or plastic.
• Do not allow water to drip on or into the fan motor housing.
• The floor fan blade and guard may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Reassemble the floor fan after the parts have dried completely. To do so, replace the floor fan
blade, tighten the securing screw, and secure the front guard. Do not plug the floor fan into an
electrical outlet until it is fully reassembled.
STORAGE
When not in use, store the floor fan in a cool, dry location. To prevent dust and dirt buildup, use the
old packaging to repack the unit.
