Cleaning Instruction
During Season Care:
•Before cleaning, be sure to turn off and unplug the unit.
•Keep the fan clean. Carefully wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Please be very cautious near the motor.
•DO NOT immerse the fan in water and never allow water to drip into the Motor Housing.
•Never use gasoline, benzene or thinner. This will damage the surface of the unit.
•After cleaning, be sure to completely dry the unit with a cloth or towel.
After Season Care:
•Your fan can be stored in the off-season.
•Before putting the fan in storage, clean it thoroughly, cover it with a vinyl bag, and store it in a cool and dry place.
We recommend using the original (or appropriately sized) box.
SETTING UP
•Carefully remove your fan from the box (please save the carton for off-season storage).
•Make sure the unit is in the OFF position before plugging the unit into the outlet.
•For shipping purposes, the fan is packed unassembled.
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the plastic set knob from the top of the large base tube.
2. Place base cover over the large base tube (looks like a cup with 4 cut outs). This is to cover the screws, it is only
for aesthetic purposes; it is not necessary for the function of the fan.
3. Pull the extension pole inside the large base tube up and replace the set knob on the top of the large base tube.
4. Remove screws from cross base, put cross base underneath the large base tube and fasten base tube to base
with the screws. Lift the base cover if it is in the way.

5. Place motor housing on top of small extension pole and secure by setting screw.
6. Remove the fan blade cap on the end of motor shaft by turning clockwise and rear grill setting nut in front of motor
housing by turning counterclockwise. If the motor shaft is spinning, the fan blade cap will not come off. Hint: you
may use a pair of pliers or rubber gloves to hold the metal shaft and prevent it from spinning.
7. Set the rear grill in the proper position with the handle up. Secure the rear grill by using the setting nut to tightly
attach it to the motor housing.
8. Install the fan blade on the shaft until it reaches the retaining pin and tighten the fan blade cap counterclockwise.
9. Mount the front guard in the proper direction and fix both guards together with the clips on the edge of the rear
guard. (Fig. A)
OPERATING
1. Place fan on a firm level surface.
2. Plug the power cord into any standard 120V AC, 60HZ outlet. Please make sure the Selector (Speed Control) is in
the OFF position.
3. Tilt and adjust the fan head to the desired angle or airflow.
•3 Speed Rotary Switch: Select the switch on top of motor to the desired fan speed setting.
•Oscillating Control Tab: To make the fan oscillate, push down the oscillating control tab located on the top of
motor housing. Pulling up on the tab will stop the fan from oscillating. (Fig. B)
