5.1.3

Check the fans

IMPORTANT | Before each start-up of your evaporator, it is important to make sure that the fans are working
properly.
Your evaporator is equipped with two or three fans depending on the model: one or two fans for primary
combustion and one fan for secondary combustion. The purpose of these fans is to activate the combustion
and increase the power of your FUSION X
Used first, the primary air fan(s) pushes air under the fuel load and feeds the fire's rise. The secondary air fan
then pushes air over the load to complete the combustion, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and
eliminating smoke emissions.
Fan operation is controlled by two potentiometers (rotary knobs). One for the primary air fan(s), and the other
for the secondary air fan.
