LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY

Specifications subject to change without notice. January 2012

Triangle Engineering of Arkansas, Inc. (Manufacturer) warrants, from the date

of purchase, to the original purchaser only, that the product manufactured by

Manufacturer is free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of

THREE (3) YEARS. Motors, capacitors, v-belts and switches are excluded

from this warranty, but shall have a limited one year warranty from date of pur-

chase to the original purchaser.

If a failure of the product occurs, contact the Manufacturer at:

1-800-255-9014

and give the model number of the product, the purchase date, and a descrip-

tion of the problem to the customer service agent.

Once the problem is diagnosed, and proof of purchase date is verified, Manufacturer

will have the option of shipping the necessary repair part(s) to the Customer, freight

prepaid or having the product returned to Manufacturer for repair or replacement. If

the product is returned to the Manufacturer, Customer is responsible for prepay-

ment of all inbound freight charges. Upon repair or replacement, which shall be at

the discretion of Manufacturer, the Manufacturer will prepay all outbound freight

charges for the return of the product to the customer. However, if Manufacturer

finds product to be in operating condition and no problems are diagnosed, product

will be returned to customer freight collect.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON

THE FACE HEREOF.

Except as provided by this express warranty, the goods are sold “as is” without

any implied warranties.

This limited warranty does not cover labor to replace warrantied parts or motors,

nor does it cover failure of the installer to provide adequate ventilation to meet mini-

mum exhaust requirements, damage resulting from accident, misuse or abuse, lack

of proper maintenance, improper installation, affixing of any parts or attachments

not authorized by Manufacturer, or loss of parts.

In no event shall Manufacturer be liable for any special, incidental, or consequen-

tial damages; which may result from any defect in material or workmanship.

It is expressly understood that Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be repair or

replacement of defective parts, and that Triangle Engineering shall not be liable for

injury to persons or property. Should the goods prove so defective, however, as to

preclude the remedying of warranted defects by repair or replacement, the Buyer’s

sole and exclusive remedy shall then be a refund of the purchase price.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other

rights which vary from state to state.

year of operation, simply remove the LABEL ONLY from the motor

IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS FAN.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

The PORTABLE COOLER is a direct drive

fan designed for medium duty use in machine

and auto repair shops, factory work stations,

patios and decks, in laundries and dry clean-

ers, and anywhere air movement is required.

It is easily rolled to various locations on sturdy,

no skid wheels. The unit is constructed of cold

rolled steel with a powder coat finish. Guards

are made of steel wire and comply with OSHA

guarding requirements. The ON/OFF switch

is conveniently mounted and guarded on side

of barrel.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION:

1. Your Portable Cooler will operate only on

110 Volt AC, 60 HZ (cycle) current with a

minimum of a 15 Amp circuit.

2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric

shock, DO NOT expose to water or rain. To

guard against electric shock while the fan

is connected to power source, DO NOT

PERMIT fan to become in contact with

other grounded objects such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, etc.

3. DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORD. DO

NOT pull on cord to remove from electrical

receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil

and sharp edges. Inspect cord periodically,

replacing if damaged.

4 Disconnect the fan when not in use, before

servicing and cleaning, and

when repairing or replac-

ing parts.

5. DO NOT carry or move

the fan when connected

to power source. Be sure

switch is "OFF" prior

to connecting to power

source.

6. When the Portable Cooler

is used outdoors with

extension cord, use cord

of proper size (Amp rat-

ing) only, UL listed and

Motor

power cord. Only round jacketed extension

cords should be used.

7. Before operating this fan, check for worn

or damaged parts and replace or repair

if required. To avoid risk of fire, electri-

cal shock or other injury, disconnect from

power source before servicing.

8. DO NOT operate the Portable Cooler near

flammable liquids or in gaseous or explo-

sive atmospheres as sparks from motor

may ignite fumes.

9. If the wire guards are removed, replace

before normal operation.

10. In case of power failure, turn off the fan

at switch. This will prevent motor burn out

and/or unexpected restarting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SERVICE and DISSASSEMBLY

Turning fan on and off in rapid succession will cause

motor to over heat. If this occurs allow motor to cool

twenty minutes before resuming operation.

NOTE: If fan will be operating in dusty, moist or

other contaminated areas, it is recommended

that the PORTABLE COOLERS equipped with

TOTALLY ENCLOSED motors be used.

WARNING: DISCONNECT FROM POWER

SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MOTOR

AND FAN BLADE CLEANING.

1. Motors are lubricated at the factory to oper-

ate for long periods under normal conditions

without re-lubrication..

2. Clean motor surfaces and ventilation open-

ings periodically, preferably with a vacuum

cleaner. Heavy accumulations of dust and

lint will result in overheating and premature

motor failure.

3. Keep guards and blade clean by vacuuming

and wiping periodically.

Generally, the only reason to disassemble your

PORTABLE COOLER is for cleaning and replac-

ing damaged or worn components.
