Your new fan comes to you completely assembled and ready to operate. We suggest that, upon removing the unit
from its carton, you carefully inspect it for any possible damage in transit. When using the fans, note the directional
airflow indicator on the external shell. This is the way the air moves.
Prior to plugging in, inspect inlet and outlet screen and remove debris which may restrict airflow movement.
When used with duct.
A. Do not install duct when fan is in operation.
B. Place duct lip over duct adaptor, secure firmly, note direction of airflow.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Miniveyor Air VAF-FFD
The Professional Choice for Floor Drying
Why do we call it a Fast Floor Dryer system?
...because it dries a floor fast, it’s that simple!
Using downdraft technology, the NEW Miniveyor Air VAF-FFD downdraft floor dryer is capable of drying an entire
room in minutes. The powerful 6 blade
precision fan blade draws down warmer, drier air from the top of the room and blows it across the
entire floor. The powerful vane axial fan, driven by a ¼HP 2-Speed motor, allows 360º directed airflow, and one
FFD blower can dry a typical office or room in as little as 15 minutes.
The heavy duty swivel castors provide easy mobility and position the unit at optimum downdraft height. You can
stack the dryers for easy storage and transport and the in-built telescopic handled trolley allows you to move the
fan from job to job with ease.
The Miniveyor Air VAF-FFD system provides flexibility,
versatility and durability and is perfect for use in many
different environments including -
Hotels and Resorts
Casinos
Schools, Colleges & Universaties
Restaurants
Hospitals
