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 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.

2. General Description and Specications
Super Vac ventilators are specifically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of air. Super Vac positive pressure
ventilators are tested to AMCA PPV Standard 240-95, for use in extreme conditions.
Model # RPM Voltage Motor HxWxD Weight
V20-EX 1750 115V AC 1 Hp Hazardous Location 26” x 25” x 23” 82 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 eliminates
turbulence at the tips. Each blade is dynamically balanced for high efficiency and long life.
3. Product Safety Precautions
• Do not use the ventilator for purposes other than its’ intended use.
• 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 fingers 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 let extension cords or plug connection lay in water. Locate the ventilator so that it cannot fall into water inadverntly.

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.
• Never use power cords with frayed, cut, or brittle insulation.
• A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.
• 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.
5. 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 battery pack. 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 115V AC power receptacle to begin ventilation.
To stop ventilation remove power cord plug from AC power receptacle.
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.

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.
7. 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
1 2000 14 150 ft
2 4000 12 250 ft
3 6000 10 350 ft
* Multiple units powered by one extension cord
** Minimum running wattage for multiple units. Startup amerage draw is much higher.
