1. 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 nd 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 led claim here, it would be sent to your local freight agent for
verication and investigation. This time can be saved by your ling the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground oor 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 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 sometime
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.

2. General Description and Specications
Super Vac ventilators are specically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of air. Super Vac positive pressure
ventilators are tested to AMCA Standard 240-15, for use in extreme conditions.
Model # RPM Motor H x W x D Weight
V18-BK 2000 1 HP Variable Speed DC 25.50” x 26” x 12.25” 56 lbs
Specications are subject to change without notication. Refer to model decal afxed to ventilator to determine actual specications.
This ventilator is designed for high powered air movement. Super Vac’s propeller produces a greater intake of air and reduces turbulence at
the tips. Each blade is dynamically balanced for high efciency and long life.
3. Product Safety Precautions
• Wear eye and ear protection when operating the ventilator.
• Never operate ventilator while fatigued.
• 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.
• Never permit anyone to operate ventilator without proper instruction.
• 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 stop
motor. Be certain all mechanical motion has stopped. Do not use with any power voltage other than the indicated voltage.
• Never handle energized power cords with wet hands.
• Do not place or operate ventilator on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or other unstable surfaces. Never use this ventilator in any
explosive environment.
• Never let extension cords or plug connections lay in water. Locate the ventilator so that it cannot fall into water inadvertently.

4. Before Operating Ventilator
4. Before Operating Ventilator
• This ventilator has been designed to work with either the Makita®4.0Ah or 5.0Ah XGT®batteries.
• This ventilator will not work with any LXT batteries from Makita.
• Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.
• 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.
• Replace damaged or missing guards before operating ventilator.
• Never store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. Transporting batteries can possibly
cause res if the battery terminals contact loose nails, screws, keys, hand tools and the like.
• If using shore or mains power:
o Never use power cords with frayed, cut, or brittle insulation.
o Inspect power cord plug for proper connections to the ground fault interrupter circuit.

5. Operation
• Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into conned spaces with the ventilator.
• Insert a Makita XGT battery until it clicks. Only a single battery is necessary for operation.
• Battery removal will get easier with more remove/replace cycles. The Battery Adapter & XGT Battery interface is required by Makita.
• Fan will need to be reset (turned off & on) if a new battery is inserted.
• If fan is not reset, then the fan will not recognize the new battery and run until previous battery is empty.
• If using shore (mains) power, use an extension cord to connect to 110 – 240V AC.
• Press and hold power button until blue backlight indicates powering up.
• When the fan is on, it will need to run at the minimum speed allowed by Makita. (This feature is to protect the batteries from small parasitic draws)
• Turn speed control clockwise until desired speed is reached.
• Power button will indicate approximate power left. (It is normal for colors to icker back and forth if 2 batteries are being used)
• Green: 50 - 100%
• Yellow: 20 - 50%
• Red: 0 - 20% (Low Battery Warning: Front Facing LED will also ash if turned on)
• To turn off, press and hold power button until blue backlight shows.

*Runtimes dependent on air density, and battery condition.
Test data shown taken at 5,000 ft elevation,
25% RH, 70ºF with new batteries.
*Air density is primarily affected by elevation, humidity and
temperature.
*At temperatures below freezing expect battery life to
decrease.
*Other XGT Batteries will operate the fan, but at reduced
runtimes.

6. Charging the Battery Packs
• Remove Makita batteries from fan.
• Insert in Makita Charger. Use only Makita XGT®brand battery chargers.
• When the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range (40-105ºF or 5-40ºC), the red
light on the charger will ash and the battery will not charge.
• Once the battery pack is within the acceptable temperature range, normal charging will take place.
• Using the Makita Rapid Optimum Charger, a 4.0 Amp hour battery will recharge in 45 minutes and
an 5.0 Amp hour battery will recharge in 50 minutes.
• Other Makita chargers, including units that work with vehicle DC power, may take longer to fully
charge the batteries.
CAUTION:
• Do not store battery packs or
chargers above 120°F (50°C) or
in direct sunlight.
• Never use charger or batteries
in explosive atmospheres.
• Never attempt to open the
battery pack. If cracked or
damaged, return it to a service
center for recycling.
