GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocu-
tion. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it does
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type
of adaptor with this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
(GFCI) PROTECTION
This fan is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the
power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock.
Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement
parts that include GFCI protection.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Assemble the fan before plugging it in.
1. Screw threaded outer pole into threaded base;
Hand tighten until firmly secured; use no tools.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Loosen the height adjustment
knob (counter-clockwise), adjust the height to the
desired position and tighten the knob (clockwise).
2. Loosen the set screw on the back of the control box
and set the control box onto the inner pole. Then
tighten the set screw to secure the control box and
motor head to the inner pole. When adjusting the
inner pole, always keep the water proof cover
matched with the height adjustment knob.
3. Unscrew the grill lock nut by turning it counter-clock
wise. Unscrew the rear grill set screws (the two
screws at the 12 o‘clock and 6 o‘clock positions above
and below the motor shaft). Mount the rear grill (with
the handle in the upright position) to the motor housing
by matching its 3 holes to the 3 round pins on the front
motor housing. Then secure the rear grill set screws to
lock the rear grill to the front motor housing. Reinstall
and tighten the grill lock nut.
4. Insert the fan blade onto the motor shaft by matching
the slot of the blade with the D-shaped cut out on the
motor shaft. Secure the blade by screwing the blade
cap onto the shaft counter-clockwise.

5. Attach the fan shroud to the rear grill, using provided
screws and clips. The screws and clips are located “in”
the shroud. You will notice these screws and clips are
inserted all the way around the inner rim of the shroud.
Underneath the clips there are plastic protrusions. The
rear grill sits in between the clip and the plastic
protrusion. Loosen the screws and “shimmy” the
shroud onto the grill from the bottom. Some screws
and clips may have to be removed in order to slide the
shroud on; however, do not take all of them out as it is
hard to put them back into the shroud.
6. Push and twist one end of the 6 foot hose into the
Swivel Adapter. Insert screen washer into swivel
adapter and attach to outdoor hose or spigot.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THIS FAN IS INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE BUT MAY BE USED INDOORS
WITHOUT THE MISTING FEATURE. Place the fan on a level surface near
an electrical outlet. Place the fan out of the reach of children. Do not insert
anything into the grill. If moving the fan to a different location, switch it off and
unplug it from the socket.
Place the fan on a level surface. Plug the GFCI plug into a standard 120V AC

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

nozzle, unscrew it from the misting line for further cleaning.
Place nozzles in a container of vinegar or a household lime and scale remover
(such as Lime-Away™) for about 30 minutes. Make sure to stir or shake the
solution every few minutes to help loosen debris. Heavier deposits may require
longer soaking and/or additional scrubbing of the nozzles with a stiff non-metal-
lic brush.
After soaking, shake the nozzles. You should hear a rattling sound. If none is
heard, gently tap the nozzles against a solid surface to loosen any obstruction.
If this doesn’t clear the nozzles, they should be replaced. Check your packaging
for extra nozzles, or call WindChaser Products, Inc. to purchase replacement
nozzles.
IMPORTANT – Never attempt to clear nozzles with pins, nails or other metal
objects as this can damage the misting orifice.
Use only a soft moistened cloth with a soap solution to clean the fan.
Do not immerse the fan in water.
Do not use gasoline thinners or other chemicals to clean fan.
To dismantle for cleaning or long term storage, follow the assembly instructions in
reverse order. The fan blade may be washed in warm water using a little mild
detergent. Alternatively, it may be wiped clean with a soft damp cloth. Be sure it is
completely dry before re-fitting.
The front and rear grills, stand and base can be cleaned with a soft brush or soft
damp cloth.
For storage, clean fan carefully as instructed and store in its original box or cover
with plastic / cloth. Store the fan in a clean, dry place.
