2F244i User Guide Revised 11-20221. Breakage or Damage During Shipment
The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve problems promptly if you handle it
correctly. Please read these instructions carefully.
Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation agent at once and have them make a
description on the freight or express bill describing the damage and the number of pieces. Then write us and we will send you the
original bill of lading. Get a claim blank from the express or truck company. Fill the claim form out. Attach the claim blank to the
original bill of lading together with a copy of our invoice. Attach a memo on which you show the value of the damaged goods. Mail
or hand these papers to your local transportation agent. They will process your claim with reasonable promptness.
Please note, we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it would be sent to your local freight agent for
verification and investigation. This time can be saved by your filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground floor and
in 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 file 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. These 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.

3F244i User Guide Revised 11-20222. General Description and Specications
Super Vac ventilators are specifically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of fresh air. Refer to decal affixed to
ventilator to determine proper operating voltage requirements. Super Vac electric ventilators are single speed, fresh air ventilators,
for use in extreme conditions.
Specifications
1. Specifications are subject to change without notification. Refer to model decal affixed to ventilator to determine actual
specifications.
2. TEAO = Totally Enclosed Air Over motor
This 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. The high velocity screw action sweeps air back over the motor, enabling it to run cooler. The
patented 4-Blade propeller is cast from aluminum alloy. Each blade is statically balanced for high efficiency 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.
The 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.

SMOKE EJECTOR
4 F244i User Guide Revised 11-20223. Product Safety Precautions
• 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 fingers 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.
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.

SMOKE EJECTOR
5 F244i 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 flexible duct as required. Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into confined spaces with the
ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke Ventilation for comprehensive instruction on effective
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.
The motor is of heavy duty ball bearing construction. The unit is completely sealed and requires no lubrication for the life of the
motor.
The 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 after cleaning, position them with the rings to the
outside with the row of spot welds holding the rings on the bottom.

SMOKE EJECTOR
6F244i 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 off. Motor will automatically restart when it cools sufficiently after overheating. Remove power cord
plug from AC receptacle before examining or working on a motor which has stopped because of overheating. Thermal 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 specifications.
• Using too small gauge of extension cord.
• Exceeding maximum length extension cord.
• Insufficient unobstructed distance on exhaust side of ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training Manual for Smoke
Ventilation for recommended ventilator placement.
• Insufficient wattage generator. When running multiple ventilators on one generator, plug ventilators in one at a time. Wait until
first 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.

SMOKE EJECTOR
7 F244i 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). The counter EMF
can reduce the current carrying capability of an extension cord. This 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 (ft)
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 ft
Intake Side* Maximum 20 ft
“L” Duct* Exhaust Side Only
* Adapter required, optional, not included with ventilator.
