1. Thread the Poly-Vent film through the Poly-Vent frame.
USE CAUTION WITH THIS PROCEDURE. DO NOT LET THE POLY-VENT FILM SNAG ON OR CATCH ANY FRAME PARTS.
2. Center the Poly-Vent within the frame.
3. You can now install the air inlet flex tubing leading from the Poly-Vent blower.

1. Once you have located the correct location
for your flex tube connection, peel off the
backing from one gasket and apply it to the
clean dry plastic.
2. With a sharp utility knife, carefully cut out
the center portion of the plastic, being sure
to cut through the top layer only.

3. Remove the paper backing from the second gasket.
Carefully fold in half -- being very careful not to let the
adhesive make contact with itself -- and slip through
the hole just cut.
4. Align the inside gasket with the outside gasket, and
press together. As a safety measure, it is a good idea to
take an office stapler and staple the two gaskets together.
5. Next, insert the flex tube into the opening.
Make sure that there is no sharp wire
exposed that may puncture the Poly-Vent
tube.

NOTE: THIS BASIC POLY-VENT OPERATION PAGE IS FOR PVII (SINGLE-STAGE) SYSTEMS ONLY.
IF YOU PURCHASED A PVIII (TWO-STAGE) SYSTEM, SEE THE FOLLOWING PAGE FOR THE
CORRECT BASIC POLY-VENT OPERATION.
Thermostats for the Poly-Vent system should be mounted approximately centered between each sidewall and centered from
front to rear of the structure. They should be mounted at eye level. However, some growers prefer to mount thermostats at
bench height.
Initial start-up: PVII Two Stage Poly-Vent
When inflating the Poly-Vent for the first time - before wiring the thermostat - turn on the blower. Moving from one end to the
other, manually help the Poly-Vent tubes up so that they do not twist.
The included wiring diagrams should be used to wire the thermostat into the system. Note that the wiring circuits more resemble
a "heating" circuit than a "cooling" circuit. This is the correct way to wire your thermostat. Please wire exactly as shown for
correct results.
With the Poly-Vent deflated, slowly turn the thermostat to a higher temperature until the blower is activated. If the system is
operating properly, the blower will activate and inflate the PVII system.
After the Poly-Vent has been successfully inflated, check for proper complete inflate/deflate cycle operation.
Now adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature to be maintained in your structure.
NOTE: If you have a BUBS (Back-Up Blower System) the BUBS is not generally wired to the thermostat so that if it is activated,
the Poly-Vent will remain inflated and will not cycle again until the power is restored.

Initial start-up: PVIII Two Stage Poly-Vent
When inflating the Poly-Vent for the first time - before wiring the thermostat - turn on the top blower only. Moving from one end to
the other, manually help the Poly-Vent tubes up so that they do not twist. After the top section is completely inflated, turn on the
lower blower (before wiring to the thermostat). Again, moving from one end to the other, manually help the lower Poly-Vent tubes
up so that they inflate properly.
The included wiring diagrams should be used to wire the thermostats into the system. Note that the wiring circuits more resemble
a "heating" circuit than a "cooling" circuit. This is the correct way to wire your thermostats. Please wire exactly as shown for
correct results.
With the Poly-Vent deflated, slowly turn the thermostat to a higher temperature until one of the blowers is activated. If the system
is operating properly, the top blower will activate first and inflate the upper section of the PVIII system. Once the upper section of
the PVIII is inflated, slowly continue to raise the temperature of the thermostat in approximately 3 to 6 degree increments until
the lower blower motor activates inflating the lower section of the PVIII.
After the Poly-Vent has been successfully inflated, check for proper complete inflate/deflate cycle operation. Slowly lower the
temperature adjustment until the lower blower shuts off. If the lower blower motor is shut off first, the system is operating
properly.
Now adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature to be maintained in your structure.
NOTE: If you have a BUBS (Back-Up Blower System) the BUBS is not generally wired to the thermostat so that if it is activated,
the Poly-Vent will remain inflated and will not cycle again until the power is restored.

IMPORTANT:
This drawing illustrates end views of the
Poly-Vent. When inflated, the Poly-Vent tubing
seals will form a "zig-zag" profile. If you have
one tube that is bulging, check your zig-zag
pattern by inserting your hand in between the
poly tubes. You will notice one row of seals are
towards the inside, one row towards the outside,
then inside, etc. (see Figure A).

Q. How much time does it take to inflate and/or deflate the Poly-Vent?
A. The length of time necesary to inflate or deflate the Poly-Vent is variable depending on several factors. Length of
F.A.Q.
Poly-Vent, height of Poly-Vent, and the number and location of the blowers connected to the Poly-Vent. Obviously,
the longer the Poly-Vent, the more time is necessary to inflate and deflate. The same applies to different Poly-Vent
heights. A Poly-Vent II (single stage) system will take more time to inflate or deflate than a Poly-Vent III (two-stage)
system due to the fact that all the air must pass through more tubes and enter and exit through just one blower.
24
Page 25
Below are some hints on how to properly care
for your new Poly-Vent system.
1. Inflate the Poly-Vent occasionally - even during hot weather - to keep it in proper working
order.
2. Do not set objects on the Poly-Vent when it is deflated.
3. Inflate your Poly-Vent after a rain to let any accumulated water drain off.
4. Check periodically for tears or punctures. If any holes are found, repair with Polypatch tape.
5. Keep the gutters free of dirt and debris for a tight seal.
6. When Poly-Vent is not used for long periods, or is simply becoming dirty, inflate the vent
and rinse off the inside and outside of the tubes with water.
7. If you are in a climate where you won't need your Poly-Vent for long periods of time, remove
it from the structure and store it in a safe place out of the weather.
8. Regularly check the blowers and flex tube(s) for damage or obstructions.
