6. Charging the Battery Pack
e battery pack contains two sealed no-maintenance lead-acid batteries. ese batteries do not maintain a “memory” as
is common with nickel-cadmium style batteries. Total discharging of the batteries is not required nor recommended as a
maintenance procedure.
To restore battery charge –
• Turn power switch to the o position.
• Disconnect battery pack from fan unit.
• Insert charging jack from battery charger into charging plug on battery pack.
• Plug battery charger into appropriate AC power supply (refer to label on charger to determine voltage
• requirements).
e charger will progressively recharge the batteries from the discharged state. Aer 8 hours the batteries will be restored
to 90% of total capacity. Completely discharged batteries will attain 100% charge aer 16 hours.
7. Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance should only be performed by experienced and trained personnel.
Be sure the ventilator is disconnected from the power source before performing any maintenance or repair. e motor is of heavy duty
ball bearing construction. e unit is completely sealed and requires no lubrication for the life of the motor.
e ventilator blade should be specially checked for build-up of material or dirt which may cause an imbalance. Excessive imbalance can
lead to accelerated wear on motor bearings and vibration. Remove ventilator guards. Clean blade and inside housing with mild detergent
and water. Do not use abrasives, sharp instruments or caustic solvents that may scratch or damage the aluminum alloy blade..
Intake and exhaust guards are not interchangeable. When replacing guards aer cleaning, position them with the rings
to the outside with the row of spot welds holding the rings on the bottom.
