1. Breakage or Damage During Shipment

The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve problems promptly if you handle it

correctly. Please read these instructions carefully.

Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation agent at once and have them make

a description on the freight or express bill describing the damage and the number of pieces. Then write us and we will send

you the original bill of lading. Get a claim blank from the express or truck company. Fill the claim form out. Attach the claim

blank to the original bill of lading together with a copy of our invoice. Attach a memo on which you show the value of the

damaged goods. Mail or hand these papers to your local transportation agent. They will process your claim with reasonable

promptness.

Please note, we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it would be sent to your local freight

agent for verification and investigation. This time can be saved by your filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the

ground floor and in contact with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given individual

attention.

Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express companies, we cannot allow

deduction from any invoice because of any damage, however, be sure to file your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B.

factory. We take receipt from the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order, and

our responsibility ceases.

It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments, and in no case will the customer be out any expense

if they follow the above instructions.

Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company inspector, who may call on you

some time later. These damaged goods, of course, will belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you

dispose of these damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

2. General Description and Specifications

Super Vac ventilators are specifically designed to provide a convenient and portable source of air. Super Vac positive pressure

ventilators are tested to AMCA PPV Standard 240-95, for use in extreme conditions.

This ventilator is designed for high powered air movement. Super Vac’s propeller produces a greater intake of air and

eliminates turbulence at the tips. Each blade is statically balanced for high efficiency and long life.

This document is designed to function as a quick start guide and not an in-depth comprehensive instructional manual. Please

read all accompanying documents shipped with your ventilator. Due to the many features of gasoline powered equipment

thorough familiarity with the engine operating controls is essential to assure safe and trouble free operation.

ØNever permit anyone to operate ventilator without proper instruction.

ØDo not operate ventilator without proper inlet or outlet guards in place. If guards are missing or damaged, contact

factory for replacements.

ØDo not place fingers or other foreign objects through inlet or outlet guards. Should a foreign object enter the ventilator,

immediately stop engine. Be certain all mechanical motion has stopped. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and

keep it away from spark plug before removing foreign object.

4. Before Operating Ventilator

§Engine is shipped without oil. With engine in a level position, remove oil fill plug and dipstick. Fill with 21 ounces of

the recommended oil. See page 1 of the TECUMSEH Operator’s Manual for oil viscosity recommendations and

capacity.

§Always operate this ventilator with unleaded gasoline having a pump octane rating of 85 or higher.

§A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.

§Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.

§Inspect inlet and outlet guards for damage or missing pieces. Replace damaged or missing guards before operating

5. Operation

Check ventilator inlet and outlet guards for obstructions.

Check and remove from immediate surrounding area any

objects that could be drawn into the ventilator intake.

Check the engine oil level, running the engine with a low oil

level can cause engine damage. See page 2 of the

TECUMSEH Operator’s Manual.

Check the engine air cleaner. A dirty filter will reduce

engine performance. See page 4 of the TECUMSEH

Operator’s Manual.

Check the fuel level. Do not overfill. Starting with no more

than a 3/4 full tank will help reduce operating interruptions

for refueling and avoid fuel spillage when engine is tilted.

See page 2 of the TECUMSEH Operator’s Manual.

Place ventilator in desired location before starting.

Refer to the TECUMSEH Operator’s Manual for additional

information showing locations of engine control features

and positions.

This engine is equipped with an Low Oil Shutdown which is

designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient

amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the engine can fall below a safe limit, the Low Oil Shutdown will automatically stop the

engine (the engine speed control will remain in the current position). The Low Oil Shutdown is sensitive to the engine being

operated at an incline. Operate ventilator within the design limits of the engine tilt lever.

6. Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance should only be performed by experienced and trained personnel.

Be sure the ventilator blade has come to a complete stop before performing any maintenance or repair.

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and keep it away from spark plug.

The ventilator blade should be specially checked for build-up of material or dirt which may cause an imbalance. Excessive

imbalance can lead to accelerated wear on engine bearings and vibration. Remove ventilator guards. Clean blade and inside

housing with mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasives, sharp instruments or caustic solvents that may scratch or damage

the aluminum alloy blade..
