2. Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death to reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Do not expose to standing water or rain

• Unplug fan before servicing.

• Do not block air intake or outlet. One foot minimum distance to obstructions.

• Indoor use only

• Do not use as stool or bench

• Do not operate with damaged cord or plug.

• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route
cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from trac area and where it will not be tripped over.

WARNING: Not Suitable for use with Solid-State Speed Controls

AVERTISSEMENT: Ne Convient Pas a Des Regulateurs De Vitesse a Semi-Conducteurs

3. Operation

3.1 Transporting the Quest F9

The Quest F9 is designed to be stacked vertically or horizontally (“Bookshelf Stacking”) for transport.

3.2 Electrical Requirements

The Quest F9 can be plugged directly into any standard wall receptacle. Without ducting, the Quest F9 will draw 1.9
amps at 120 VAC. Ducting will reduce amp draw. Up to 6 Quest F9s can be daisy chained on a standard 15 amp branch
circuit.

Quest F9 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions

3.3 Ducting

The lip on the exhaust opening of the Quest F9 is designed to accommodate layflat ducting with 14” or larger diameter.

3.4 Resettable Circuit Breaker

The 12 Amp thermal circuit breaker protects the unit and devices connected to its duplex GFCI receptacle. In case of a
fault, the breaker can be reset at the Quest F9 control panel.

Use of multiple fans and any other connected devices must be in accordance with the National Electric Code and any
additional codes or laws required by your local government.

IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the Quest F9 plus all devices plugged into its convenience

receptacle is limited by the onboard circuit breaker. Excessive current will cause the circuit breaker
to trip. This may occur instantly or after a period of time depending on the operating conditions.

IMPORTANT: When the Quest F9 is plugged into a standard “powered” wall outlet the Quest F9’s

duplex outlet is electrically “HOT” and AC voltage is present.

3.5 GFCI Protection and the On-Board Duplex Receptacle

The on-board convenience receptacle provides electrical shock protection for the operator in damp or wet applications or
other conditions that would cause a ground fault. The Quest F9 is wired to branch protect all on-board components in
addition to protecting any fans or other equipment plugged into the onboard receptacle.

Testing GFCI operation can be done by pressing the “TEST” button located on the GFCI duplex outlet. If operating
properly, the “RESET” button will pop out. In addition, notice that the fan will NOT operate if the GFCI outlet is in the
TRIPPED condition as the motor and other on-board components are included in the GFCI protected circuit.

The GFCI circuit can only be “RESET” when the Quest F9 is connected to a properly grounded wall outlet providing the
rated voltage.

4. Maintenance

WARNING: Disconnect the unit from power before servicing or cleaning. Replace all safety grills after servicing or
cleaning.

4.1 Power Cord

Visually inspect cord and plug head before use. If there are signs of damage or excessive wear, discontinue use until the
unit has been serviced.

4.2 Cleaning

The housing is made of durable and washable polypropylene. When cleaning, the use of solvents is NOT recommended.

When washing inside the unit, disconnect the unit from its power source. Protect the switch, receptacle and circuit
breaker from water intrusion. Do not spray water or cleaning solution at motor. If motor does get wet, allow motor to
dry completely before restarting. If fan is to be washed and not used within 24 hours, allow fan to drip dry for 10 minutes
and then run for 5 minutes before storing.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT remove impeller blade from motor assembly. Doing so can cause
blade to become imbalanced upon re-assembly.

Who Is Covered: This warranty covers Quest F9.

First Year Warranty: 100% parts and labor (all components)

End-User Responsibilities: Warranty service must be performed by a servicer authorized by Therma-Stor Products. To

obtain warranty service you must obtain a return material authorization (RMA). To obtain an RMA you must present
proof of purchase or (lease), by use of a warranty card, original sales receipt or other reasonable and reliable means.

To obtain an RMA call Therma-Stor LLC at the above number and ask for the Therma-Stor LLC Service Department,
which will then issue an RMA# and arrange for, at our option, either repair or replacement.

Freight: Freight to and from the servicer is the responsibility of the end-user. The end-user is responsible for normal care
and proper return packaging.

Limitations and Exclusions: This warranty does not cover any defect, malfunction, etc. resulting from misuse, abuse, lack
of normal care, corrosion, freezing, tampering, modification, unauthorized or improper repair or installation, accident,
acts of nature or any other cause beyond Therma-Stor LLC’s reasonable control.

If any Quest F9 part is repaired or replaced, the new part shall be warranted for the balance of original warranty (but
all warranty periods will be extended by the period of time, if any, that the Quest F9 with FOCUS Technology is out of
service while awaiting covered warranty service).

Warranty service will be performed during normal working hours.

UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE WRITTEN WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THE QUEST F9 OR ANY
PART THEREOF, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND

LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WATER DAMAGE (THE END USER SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST SAME), LOST PROFITS, DELAY, OR LOSS OF USE OR DAMAGE TO ANY REAL OR PERSONAL
PROPERTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so one or both of these limitations may not apply to you.

Legal Rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state.
