This document serves as the owner's manual for TPI Corporation's Commercial Portable Blower, specifically for models CPB42-B and CPB48-B. It provides essential information regarding the fan's operation, safety, maintenance, and assembly.

Function Description

The device is a commercial portable blower designed to circulate air. It features a two-speed control (HIGH and LOW) to adjust airflow. The fan is equipped with a thermostat that automatically shuts off the unit if it overheats, acting as a safety mechanism. After an overheat shutdown, the fan requires approximately 15 minutes to cool down before it can resume operation. This feature also addresses potential shutdowns due to surges in electrical power. The fan is intended for indoor use and is not suitable for outdoor operation or placement in windows, where rain and moisture could create electrical hazards.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual provides a table detailing the electrical specifications for the two models:

Model WATTS (W) AMPS (A) VOLTS
LOW HIGH LOW
CPB42-B 650 735 5.6
CPB48-B 920 1120 8.0

Both models operate on a 120V~60Hz electrical supply. The CPB42-B consumes between 650W (LOW) and 735W (HIGH), drawing 5.6A to 6.5A. The CPB48-B is a more powerful unit, consuming between 920W (LOW) and 1120W (HIGH), drawing 8.0A to 9.0A. These specifications indicate that the CPB48-B is designed for heavier-duty applications requiring greater airflow.

Usage Features

The fan is designed for ease of use with a simple speed control switch for HIGH or LOW settings. It is a portable unit, implying it can be moved between locations, although the manual advises disconnecting it from the power supply before doing so. The fan's design includes a drum and a wheel assembly, which needs to be assembled by the user. The manual explicitly states that the fan is an "automatically operated device," meaning it may start or stop without direct user intervention (e.g., due to the thermostat). Users are warned to disconnect from the power supply before servicing.

Safety Rules for Operation:

  • Never insert fingers or other objects through the grill guard while the fan is operating.
  • Always disconnect the fan when moving it from one location to another.
  • Disconnect the fan when removing guards for cleaning.
  • Ensure the fan is placed on a stable, flat surface during operation.
  • Do not use the fan in windows due to the risk of electrical hazard from rain and moisture.
  • Exercise close supervision when the fan is used near children, the elderly, and pets.
  • Avoid placing the fan near open flames, cooking or heating appliances, or hot surfaces.
  • The fan should not be operated outside.
  • Do not alter the fan's assembly.
  • Ensure front and rear guard screws are completely screwed down in the locking position before operation.
  • Do not use the fan with any solid-state speed control device.
  • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or service agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides clear instructions for cleaning the fan:

  • WARNING: Always unplug the fan from the electrical supply source before cleaning.
  • Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the fan, then wipe it dry.
  • Do not use cleaning solutions that are harmful to paints or plastics.

The manual also includes instructions for the initial wheel assembly:

  1. Assemble the wheel to the drum as shown in the figure.
  2. Insert with a washer, spring washer, and bolt, then tighten firmly.

A crucial note regarding replacement parts is included: "No replacement parts available." This implies that if a component other than the cord (which can be replaced by a qualified person) fails, the entire unit may need to be replaced.

General Warnings and Cautions:

  • CAUTION: Read and follow all instructions before operating the fan. Do not use the fan if any part is damaged or missing.
  • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the fan to water or rain.
  • CAUTION: Do not alter the fan's assembly.
  • WARNING: Be sure front and rear guard screws are completely screwed down in the locking position before operation.

The manual emphasizes the importance of safety and proper handling to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the commercial portable blower.
