The Phoenix AirMax is the new leader in performance,
convenience, portability, and safety for low prole air movers.
Its compact 20 1/2” X 17” footprint and 8 7/8” height make
the Phoenix AirMax the most compact and portable fan in
its class. The rugged molded in handle gives you the solid
control required when packing and unpacking lots of air
movers. Its easy-winding cord wrap and multiple securement
options makes it a snap to prep for transport. Because of its
deeply-molded interlocking features, the Phoenix AirMax is
rock solid when stacked for transport.
With its Patent Pending, low resistance motor support
bracket and optimized outlet shape, the Phoenix AirMax
delivers airow of over 925 CFM. This gives you high velocity
air over a 25% larger area than other low prole air movers.
In addition, the Phoenix AirMax is stable on all 5 sides for
maximum exibility to position and direct the drying.
The Phoenix AirMax is the safest fan in its class providing a
quality GFCI convenience receptacle that protects not only
connected loads, but onboard components as well. This is
unlike competing fans that require external GFCI protection.
In addition, where competitors position high voltage electrical
connections low to the oor, the leading edge design of the
Phoenix AirMax allows these connections to be located more
than 4 times the minimum required height. The Phoenix
AirMax is built to keep our customers, and their customers,
safe.
The Phoenix AirMax
• 925 CFM, 1.9A
• Onboard circuit breaker and branch protection GFCI
• Daisy chain up to 6 fans on a single 15 Amp circuit
• Ultra secure stacking and cord wrap
• All Stainless Steel Fasteners
Specifications subject to change without notice.

2 Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death
to reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Do not expose to standing water or rain
• Do not use an extension cord
• Unplug fan before servicing.
• Do not block air intake or outlet. One foot minimum
distance to obstructions.
Indoor use only
• Do not use as stool or bench
• Do not operate with damaged cord or plug.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route
cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away
from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

3 Operation
3.1 Transporting the Phoenix AirMax
The Phoenix AirMax is designed to be stacked vertically or
horizontally (“Bookshelf Stacking”) for transport.
3.2 Electrical Requirements
The Phoenix AirMax can be plugged directly into any standard
wall receptacle. Without ducting, the Phoenix AirMax will
draw 1.9 amps at 120 VAC. Ducting will reduce amp draw. Up
to 6 Phoenix AirMaxs can be daisy chained on a standard 15
amp branch circuit.

3.3 Ducting
The lip on the exhaust opening of the Phoenix AirMax is
designed to accommodate layat ducting with 14” or larger
diameter.
3.4 Resettable Circuit Breaker
The 12 Amp thermal circuit breaker protects the unit and
devices connected to its duplex GFCI receptacle. In case of a
fault, the breaker can be reset at the Phoenix AirMax control
panel.
Use of multiple fans and any other connected devices must
be in accordance with the National Electric Code and any
additional codes or laws required by your local government.
IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the Phoenix AirMax plus all
devices plugged into its convenience receptacle is limited
by the onboard circuit breaker. Excessive current will cause
the circuit breaker to trip. This may occur instantly or after
a period of time depending on the operating conditions.
IMPORTANT: When the Phoenix AirMax is plugged into a
standard “powered” wall outlet the Phoenix AirMax’s duplex
outlet is electrically “HOT” and AC voltage is present.
3.5 GFCI Protection and the On-Board Duplex
Receptacle
The on-board convenience receptacle provides electrical
shock protection for the operator in damp or wet applications
or other conditions that would cause a ground fault. The
Phoenix AirMax is wired to branch protect all on-board
components in addition to protecting any fans or other
equipment plugged into the onboard receptacle.
Testing GFCI operation can be done by pressing the “TEST”
button located on the GFCI duplex outlet. If operating
properly, the “RESET” button will pop out. In addition,
notice that the fan will NOT operate if the GFCI outlet is in
the TRIPPED condition as the motor and other on-board
components are included in the GFCI protected circuit.
The GFCI circuit can only be “RESET” when the Phoenix
AirMax is connected to a properly grounded wall outlet
providing the rated voltage.
4 Maintenance
WARNING: Disconnect the unit from power before servicing
or cleaning. Replace all safety grills after servicing or
cleaning
4.1 Power Cord
Visually inspect cord and plug head before use. If there are
signs of damage or excessive wear, discontinue use until the
unit has been serviced.
4.2 Cleaning
The housing is made of durable and washable polypropylene.
When cleaning, the use of solvents is NOT recommended.
When washing inside the unit, disconnect the unit from its
power source. Protect the switch, receptacle and circuit
breaker from water intrusion. Do not spray water or cleaning
solution at motor. If motor does get wet, allow motor to dry
completely before restarting. If fan is to be washed and not
used within 24 hours, allow fan to drip dry for 10 minutes
and then run for 5 minutes before storing.
4.3 Service
CAUTION: Servicing the Phoenix AirMax with its high voltage
circuitry presents a health hazard that could result in death,
serious bodily injury, and/or property damage. Disconnect
the appliance from the power supply before servicing. Only
qualified service people should service this unit.
CAUTION: If the supply cord or GFCI become damaged, they
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
