PC 3021 Direct Drive

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
7 " diameter wheels. The unit is constructed
of cold rolled steel with a painted finish.
Guards are made of steel wire and comply
with OSHA guarding requirements. The ON/
OFF switch is conveniently mounted 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 con-
tact 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 repair-
ing or replacing 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
rating) only, UL listed and
with receptacle to accept
3-prong grounded plug
furnished on the fans
power cord. Only round
jacketed extension cords
Motor
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.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT USE
THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID STATE
FAN SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.
OPERATION: Your Portable Cooler is turned
ON or OFF with a rocker switch located toward
the top of the barrel. To operate the two speed
fan push one side of the rocker switch down
for low speed and the opposite side down for
high speed. Place the rocker switch in the
center position to turn the fan OFF.

IMPORTANT! Handle for model PC 3021 is
packed in the corner of the shipping carton.
Remove before discarding box.
Your “PC” is equipped with TWO (2) encapsu-
lated nuts, factory installed, inside the barrel of
the fan. To attach the handle to the barrel remove
the TWO hex head machine bolts from the pack-
age, insert them through the holes provided in
the handle, and screw them into the encapsu-
lated nuts. CAUTION: Do not over tighten. This
will cause the handle to collapse and the bolts to
become loose.
PRIOR to assembling handle to barrel, insert
handle bolts into encapsulated nuts in barrel.
With bolts inserted make certain they are 90° to
the holes in the handle. If required, bend bolts UP
or DOWN to align properly.
