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 c
orrectly. 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.

. Product Safety Precautions
Do not use the ventilator for purposes other than its’ intended use. Wear eye and ear protection when operating the ventilator. Never operate ventilator while fatigued. Do not disassemble or modify the ventilator in any way. Doing so may lead to mechanical failure or personal injury. Do not wear loose clothing that could become entangled in the operating ventilator. Never permit anyone to operate ventilator without proper instruction. Do not operate ventilator without proper inlet or outlet guards in place. If guards are missing or damaged, contact factory for
r
eplacements.
Do 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.
Do not use with any fuel supply source other than the provided fuel tank. Engine exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the engine in a closed or
confined area.
Do not place or operate ventilator on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or other unstable surfaces. Never use this ventilator in any explosive environment. Do not use chock blocks to increase the angle of the ventilator, severe injury could occur.

4. Before Operating Ventilator
Engine is shipped without oil. With engine in a level position, remove oil fill plug and dipstick. Fill with 18 – 20 ounces
o
f the recommended oil. See page 10 of the HONDA ENGINE Owner’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
ventilator.
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 6 of the HONDA
ENGINE Owner’s Manual. Check the engine air cleaner. A dirty filter will reduce engine performance. See page 8 of the HONDA ENGINE Owner’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 5 of the HONDA ENGINES Owner’s Manual
.
Place ventilator in desired location before starting.
Refer to page 2 in the HONDA ENGINE Owner’s Manual for additional information showing locations of engine control features and positions.

6. Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance should only be performed by experienced and trained personnel.
B
e 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.
