POWER BLOWERTM INFORMATION
e Tempest Power BlowerTM is a high powered, portable
fan used for Positive Pressure Ventilation and Attack (PPV/
PPA), ventilation techniques that quickly and eciently replace
hazardous interior environments with clean, cool air.
PPV and PPA were pioneered in the reghting industry where
reghters use the Tempest Power BlowerTM to ventilate smoke,
heat, and harmful gases from buildings. is creates a safer
environment for them to work in and makes it easier for them to
nd victims and extinguish the re.
PPV and PPA rely on two principles, (1) an air pattern capable of
creating an eective door seal, and (2) pressure. To accomplish
Positive Pressure Ventilation or Attack, the blower is placed on
the outside of the structure. It is positioned so that the air pattern
created by the blower completely seals the entrance opening, or
at least 2/3 of it. When this seal is achieved, the air pressure is
increased equally at all points inside the structure. When an
exhaust opening is created, all of the interior air moves in one
mass towards it. e result is fast, ecient ventilation of the entire
structure.
NOTE: e Tempest Power BlowerTM is the most ecient
tool for PPV and PPA for two reasons. First, the exclusive
Tempest Turbo 2000 tapered shroud design creates a wide,
stable, conical air pattern. Second, the airex impeller used
on all Tempest blowers is designed to create high pressure.
ese two features working together make the Tempest
Power BlowerTM a highly eective and ecient ventilation
tool.
As with any new technique, Positive Pressure Ventilation requires
training and education in order to be implemented properly
and safely. Tempest oers access to a complete line of training
materials, which cover many applications for this powerful
ventilation technique. For more information visit www.tempest.

POWER BLOWERTM TROUBLESHOOTING
Various factors can contribute to or be the sole cause of problems
for gas Power BlowersTM.is section will identify some of these
problems and provide solutions to correct them.
BLOWER FAILS TO START
• Check for fuel in the tank; make sure the fuel shut o valve
is open.
• Check the fuel line to determine if the carburetor is getting
fuel.
• Check to see if the fuel tank has been overlled. Too much
fuel in the tank, or tilting the unit too far can clog the charcoal
lter located in the fuel cap, inhibiting fuel ow.
• Check the oil level, HONDA® engines are quipped with
automatic oil alert systems. e engine will not start if oil is
low.
• Check the spark plug for a spark:
1. Remove the spark plug wire, clean any dirt from around
the spark plug base and remove the plug.
2. Install the spark plug into the plug cap.
3. Ground the plug to the engine and pull the starter to see
if a spark jumps the gap. DO NOT HOLD THE SPARK
PLUG IN YOUR HANDS; hold the spark plug cap or
wire.
4. If a spark is present, replace the spark plug and wire
then try starting the engine.
• If the blower still does not start, contact Tempest or your local
engine dealer.
POOR BLOWER PERFORMANCE
• Check the air lter for cleanliness, clean if dirty.
• If the blower is a Belt-Drive, make sure the belt is tight.
• If the blower is a Direct-Drive, make sure the blade is tight.
• If the fuel is more then two months old, replace the fuel with
fresh fuel.
• If blower is still not performing as normal, contact Tempest at
800.346.2143 or response@tempest.us.com.
BLOWER MOVEMENT OR “WALKING”
• Adjust the rubber footpads on the back of the blower by
turning them either in or out.
• Adjust the side that is walking. is will help to evenly
distribute the weight of the blower to all four points of the
