contact with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given individual attention.
Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express companies, we cannot allow deduction from
any invoice because of any damage, however, be sure to le your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B. factory. We take receipt from
the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order, and our responsibility ceases.
It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments, and in no case will the customer be out any expense if they
follow the above instructions.
Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company inspector, who may call on you some time
later. ese damaged goods, of course, will belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you dispose of these
damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

ELECTRIC VENTILATOR
3F164i User Guide Revised 11-20222. General Description and Specications
Super Vac ventilators are specically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of fresh air. Refer to decal axed to ventilator
to determine proper operating voltage requirements. Super Vac electric ventilators are single speed, fresh air ventilators.
Specications
1. Specications are subject to change without notication. Refer to model decal axed to ventilator to determine actual
specications.
2. TEAO = Totally Enclosed Air Over motor
is ventilator is designed for high powered air movement. Super Vac’s patented propeller produces a greater intake of air and eliminates
turbulence at the tips. e high velocity screw action sweeps air back over the motor, enabling it to run cooler. e patented 4-Blade
propeller is cast from aluminum alloy. Each blade is statically balanced for high eciency and long life.
All Super Vac ventilators are designed to accept optional spiral duct and adapters. Placing adapter and ducts on the output side provides
positive pressure ventilation. Place adapter and duct on the input side for negative pressure ventilation.
e square housing design gives the unit added strength and stability. Handles on each corner makes the ventilator easy to hang on
windows, doorways or ladders. Multiple units may be stacked using optionally available accessories.

• Do not use the ventilator for purposes other than its’ intended use.
• Do not disassemble or modify the ventilator in any way. Doing so may lead to mechanical failure or personal injury.
• Do not wear loose clothing that could become entangled in the operating ventilator.
• Do not operate ventilator without proper inlet or outlet guards in place. If guards are missing or damaged, contact factory for
replacements.
• Do not place ngers or other foreign objects through inlet or outlet guards. Should a foreign object enter the ventilator, immediately
disconnect power source. Be certain all mechanical motion has stopped before removing foreign object.
• Do not use with any power voltage other than the indicated voltage.
• Do not place or operate ventilator on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or other unstable surfaces.
• Never handle energized power cords with wet hands.
• Never let extension cords or plug connection lay in water. Locate the ventilator so that it cannot fall into water inadvertently.
• Never use this ventilator in any explosive environment.
4. Before Operating Ventilator
• Always operate this ventilator from a proper AC power source supplied through a ground fault interrupter receptacle. Test
receptacle for ground fault before plugging in the ventilator power cord.
• A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.
• Never use power cords with frayed, cut, or brittle insulation.
• Inspect power cord plug for sound connections to the ground fault interrupter circuit.
• Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.
• Inspect inlet and outlet guards for damage or missing pieces. Replace damaged or missing guards before operating ventilator.

ELECTRIC VENTILATOR
5 F164i User Guide Revised 11-20225. Operation
Check ventilator inlet and outlet guards for obstructions. Check and remove from immediate surrounding area any objects that
could be drawn into the ventilator intake.
Place ventilator in desired location before connecting to power supply.
Extend and place any exible duct as required. Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into conned spaces with the ventilator.
Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke Ventilation for comprehensive instruction on eective ventilation practices.
Insert power cord plug into 120 VAC power receptacle to begin ventilation.
To stop ventilation remove power cord plug from AC power receptacle.
6. 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.

6F164i User Guide Revised 11-20227. Troubleshooting
Motors are equipped with thermal overload protection. When internal motor temperature exceeds design limits, the motor will
automatically shut o. Motor will automatically restart when it cools suciently aer overheating. Remove power cord plug from AC
receptacle before examining or working on a motor which has stopped because of overheating. ermal overload protection sensitivity
increases with frequency. Take preventative steps to correct cause of overheating to assure long motor life. Most overheating problems are
associated with the use of portable power generators as the ventilator power supply.
Common causes of motor overheating:
• Power generator not providing constant voltage. Ventilators are equipped with AC motors designed to operate on power that falls
between ±3% of design specications.
• Using too small gauge of extension cord.
• Exceeding maximum length extension cord.
• Insucient unobstructed distance on exhaust side of ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke Ventilation
for recommended ventilator placement.
• Insucient wattage generator. When running multiple ventilators on one generator, plug ventilators in one at a time. Wait until rst
ventilator is running at full speed before connecting next ventilator to generator. Do not exceed generator capacity.
• Using accessory ducting of too small a diameter or excessive length.
• Incorrect amperage circuit breaker for circuit load
• Using reeled or coiled extension cords.

ELECTRIC VENTILATOR
7 F164i User Guide Revised 11-20228. Extension Cords
Do not use reeled or coiled cable. Reeled or coiled cable can produce a counter EMF (electromotive force). e counter EMF can reduce
the current carrying capability of an extension cord. is counter EMF will result in a voltage drop within the motor instigating a thermal
overload condition. Power supply must handle wattage requirements. When conditions require the use of reeled cable, unreel all cable
and place on the ground in very loose overlapping non-uniform coils.
Units* Watts** Minimum Wire Gauge Maximum Cable Length ()
1 2000 14 150
2 4000 12 250
3 6000 10 350
* Multiple units powered by one extension cord.
**Minimum running wattage for multiple units. Startup amperage draw is much higher.
9. Extension Ducts
Spiral duct may be used on the intake or exhaust side of a ventilator.
Exhaust Side* Maximum 40 
Intake Side* Maximum 20 
“L” Duct* Exhaust Side Only
* Adapter required, optional, not included with ventilator.
