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

TWO (2) YEARS.

Motors, capacitors, v-belts and switches are excluded from this

warranty, but shall have a limited one year warranty from date of purchase 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 damage resulting from accident, misuse or abuse, lack of proper

maintenance, improper installation, affixing of any parts or attachments not autho-

rized 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.

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

motor and mail the original label and copy of purchase receipt

to Triangle Engineering. Once the label is received, and if the

motor is still under warranty, we will ship a new motor within

24 hours, UPS PREPAID. DO NOT RETURN MOTOR.

QB2 4223

DESCRIPTION

The QB2 is a high volume portable fan

designed for heavy-duty use in factories,

warehouses, laundries, garages, etc. lt is

easily rolled to various locations. The unit is

constructed of pre-coated steel. Guards are

made of steel wire with a powder coat finish,

and comply with OSHA guarding require-

ments. The ON/OFF switch is conveniently

mounted on top of barrel.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Your QB2 fan will operate only on 115

Volt AC, 60Hz (cycle) current with a mini-

mum 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 come 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 elec-

trical receptacle. Keep cord away from heat,

oil and sharp edges. Inspect cord periodi-

cally and replace if damaged.

4. Disconnect the fan when not in use,

before servicing and cleaning and when

repairing or replacing parts.

5. DO NOT carry or move the fan when

connected to power source. Be sure switch

is in “OFF” position prior to connecting to

power source.

6. When the QB2 is used out-of-doors with

extension cord, use only cord of proper size

(Amp rating), UL listed and with receptacle to

accept three prong grounded plug furnished

on the fans 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

as required. To avoid risk of fire, electri-

cal shock or other injury, disconnect from

power source before servicing.

8. DO NOT operate the QB2 near flam-

mable liquids or in gaseous or explosive

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.

ASSEMBLY

No assembly required
