General preventive maintenance

• Dust airfoils, motor, and motor housing. If desired,
use a gentle cleaner or degreasing agent to polish
the foils. Do not use Clorox® or other chlorine based
cleaners! This could result in the release of toxic/fatal
fumes.
• Check all fan controller connections and tighten as
needed. Using a vacuum, remove all dust and debris
from the inside and outside of the controller.
• Verify proper fan rotation. To be effective, the fan
must be turning counter-clockwise.
WARNING: Do not operate a fan with missing
or damaged components! Please contact
Customer Service.
