Assembly Instructions
The fan has been packaged unassembled to minimise packaging waste.
Each part is designed to fit together and be disassembled easily for cleaning or storage. To
assemble you will need a screw driver and the supplied Allen key.
Start with the tripod leg assembly as follows:
Using the Allen key, unscrew all three grub screws from the leg/post coupling until they are
sticking out approximately 4mm from the top of the nuts as shown below.
Whilst holding the leg / post coupling upside down, take a wooden leg and insert the flat end
into one of the leg tubes and push down all the way as shown below. Using the Allen key,
tighten the grub screw until it is firm and holding the wooden leg in place
Repeat the steps above for the remaining two legs and then rotate the tripod over and
stand on its three legs.
Loosen the post securing knob by turning it anti-clockwise and remove it.

Insert the wooden post into the top of the tripod
Ensure the slot is at the top and the small hole in the side at the bottom of the wooden
post is aligned with the post securing knob as shown and then push all the way down.
This is very important as it ensures the head of the fan is positioned over a leg for
maximum stability.
Tighten the post securing knob clockwise into the hole in the side of the post until fully
secure.
The next step is to assemble the post / adjustable fan head mount to the wooden post.

slot.
Allow the assembly to slide down to the bottom of the slot and then fully tighten the
height adjustment knob.
Using a screwdriver remove the small tilt range screw from the coupling bracket on the
fan neck and then unscrew the small tilt range knob.
