This document provides the instruction guide and safety information for the Hurricane™ 20" High Velocity Floor Fan.
The Hurricane™ 20" High Velocity Floor Fan is designed to provide powerful air circulation. It is a floor-standing fan, indicating its primary placement on the ground for optimal air movement. The "High Velocity" designation suggests that it is capable of moving a significant volume of air at a high speed, making it suitable for cooling larger spaces or for applications requiring strong airflow. The fan features an adjustable fan head, allowing users to direct the airflow upwards or downwards to suit their specific needs. It operates with a speed control knob, offering multiple settings for varying air intensity.
While specific power consumption or motor type are not detailed, the fan's "20-inch" size refers to the diameter of its blades or housing, indicating a substantial size for effective air movement. The fan is equipped with a grounded plug, which is a critical safety feature designed to prevent electric shock. It is intended for use with a solid-state speed control device, although the manual explicitly warns against using it with any solid-state speed control device that is not specifically designed for this fan, to prevent electrical hazards. The fan operates on a specific voltage, and users are cautioned to ensure their power supply matches the fan's voltage. The construction includes a sturdy stand and a rear guard for safety.
The fan offers straightforward operation with a speed control knob located on the motor housing. Users can select from three speed settings:
The adjustable fan head allows for versatile air direction. To adjust the fan head, users simply push the grille up or down to the desired position. For safe operation, the fan should always be placed on a firm, level surface in an area free from obstructions. It is crucial to keep fingers, pencils, or any other object away from the fan blades and moving parts during operation. The fan should be unplugged when not in use or during cleaning. The power cord should be regularly inspected for damage; if damaged, the fan should not be used. The cord should be routed away from high-traffic areas to prevent damage and potential tripping hazards. The manual also emphasizes that the fan should never be left unattended while running.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the fan's performance and longevity. Before any cleaning, the fan must always be unplugged from the power source. The manual recommends the following cleaning procedures:
The fan's components, as illustrated in the diagram, include a front guard, blade, screw, motor, stand, rear guard, nut, screw, spring washer, washer, power cord, switch box, bolt, pedestal support, knob, and rivet. While the manual doesn't detail specific disassembly for cleaning, the general advice suggests external cleaning of accessible surfaces. Regular inspection of the power cord and plug for any damage is also a key maintenance step to ensure safe operation. If the fan is to be stored for an extended period, it should be cleaned thoroughly and stored in a dry place to prevent dust accumulation and potential damage.
