The EUROMATIC INDUSTRIAL 90cm High Velocity Metal Drum Floor Fan is a robust and powerful air-moving appliance designed for commercial use, specifically intended for placement on the floor. Its primary function is to generate a rapid and strong airflow, making it suitable for environments where significant air circulation is required.
Function Description
This high-velocity fan operates by rotating a large fan blade within a protective drum housing, drawing in air from the rear and expelling it with considerable force from the front. The design emphasizes powerful airflow, distinguishing it from standard domestic fans. It is equipped with a three-speed control mechanism, allowing users to adjust the intensity of the airflow according to their needs. The fan head can also be tilted, providing flexibility in directing the breeze to a particular angle, which is useful for targeting specific areas or achieving broader air distribution.
Usage Features
The fan is designed for straightforward operation and ease of movement, despite its large size.
- Placement: The fan is intended exclusively for floor use. It must be placed on a flat, level, and stable surface to prevent overturning during operation. Users should avoid placing it on soft surfaces like carpets, which could impede stability. Due to its high-velocity airflow, it is crucial to position the fan away from drapes, curtains, or any other objects that could be drawn into the fan outlet, as this could cause damage or create a hazard. Similarly, the fan should be located in an area free from obstructions to ensure optimal air intake and outlet.
- Operation Controls: The fan features a speed control knob located at the back of the appliance, on the switch box. To start the fan, the user turns this knob in a clockwise direction. The knob offers four settings:
[0] Off: The fan is turned off.[1] Low speed: Provides a gentle airflow.[2] Medium speed: Offers a moderate airflow.[3] High speed: Delivers the maximum, high-velocity airflow.
- Tilt Adjustment: To adjust the direction of the airflow, the fan head can be tilted. Users simply grasp the handle and move the fan head up or down to achieve the desired angle. This feature allows for precise targeting of the breeze, whether for cooling a specific spot or circulating air throughout a larger space.
- Portability: Given its substantial size, the fan is equipped with a handle and two castor wheels to facilitate movement. When relocation is necessary, the user can grip the handle and pull the fan along on its wheels, making it relatively easy to transport across a floor surface.
- Safety Precautions: Adherence to safety instructions is paramount. The fan should never be operated with the cord coiled up; it must always be fully unwound. The cord should not be twisted, kinked, or allowed to touch heated surfaces, nor should it be stressed where it connects to the product. Carrying or pulling the fan by its cord is prohibited. The cord should be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping hazards and should not be run under carpeting or covered by rugs or runners. The fan is not designed for use with an extension cord or plug adaptor, nor with any solid-state speed control device, to mitigate the risk of fire or electric shock. Users must ensure their hands are dry before handling the plug or switching on the fan. The appliance should not be used outdoors or on wet surfaces and must be protected from liquid spills. It is not intended for immersion in water or other liquids. Regular checks of the power cord for visible damage are recommended, and a damaged cord necessitates immediate cessation of use and replacement by qualified personnel. The fan should not be operated if the power cord, plug, or housing is damaged, or if it malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. In such cases, contact after-sales support. The fan should always be unplugged when not in use, before cleaning, servicing, moving, or storing. It is critical to avoid inserting fingers, pencils, or any other objects through the grilles when the fan is running, and to keep hair and loose clothing well away from moving parts. The fan must only be operated when fully assembled with all parts, including the protective grilles (rear and front guards), as operating without them can result in serious personal injury. No attempt should be made to force the grille to stop or start the fan. The fan is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the fan. The fan should never be left unattended during use; it must always be switched off and unplugged if left unattended, and before cleaning and storing. Nothing should be placed on top of the fan. The fan should not be used near open flames, hot burners, ovens, or other sources of high heat, in areas of high humidity (such as bathrooms or laundry areas), near sinks, washers, pools, or any other water source, or in a window where rain could create an electrical hazard. It is also unsuitable for use in areas where paint, petrol, or other flammable gases or substances are stored or being sprayed, due to the risk of explosion or fire.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the fan.
- Cleaning: Before any cleaning or maintenance, the fan must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply. The fan should never be immersed in water or other liquids, nor should it be sprayed with liquids. Water must not be allowed to drip on or into the motor housing. Harsh cleaning agents such as fuel, solvents, strong detergents, or abrasive/alkaline cleaners should never be used on any part of the fan.
- Dusting: For routine cleaning, ensure the fan is unplugged. Dust and dirt can be removed by lightly running a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a soft brush over the front and rear guards. Alternatively, a soft, dry cloth can be used for dusting.
- Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, a slightly damp, soapy cloth can be used. Care must be taken to ensure the cloth is not too wet. If wiping the switch box with a damp cloth, no water or other liquid should be allowed to enter the motor housing or interior parts.
- Thorough Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, especially before storage, the screws holding the front safety guard in place can be removed. Once the front guard is off, the blades can be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth. It is crucial not to attempt to remove the fan blade. The motor and other electrical components must not be exposed to water. After cleaning, the front guard must be refitted, ensuring all screws are securely tightened before reuse.
- Storage: When storing the fan, it should be kept in a safe, dry, and dust-protected location. Using the original packaging for storage is recommended. Alternatively, the cleaned appliance can be covered with a piece of material or a plastic bag to protect it from dust.
- Service/Repair: The appliance is designed to require no user-serviceable parts or maintenance beyond cleaning. Users should not attempt to disassemble the motor part or repair/modify the fan. In the event of damage, malfunction, or a damaged power cord, the unit must be repaired by authorized personnel only. Users should contact the after-sales support center for advice on repair or replacement.
