ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (Fig. 1 inside back page)
Base assembly
You will need the base cover (S,T), weighted insert (U), 1 pole (R) (either can be used as they are interchangeable) and base nut (V). IMPOR- TANT: Unscrew the nut underneath the weight and discard the removable plastic plug from the centre of the base.
1. Insert one pole through the base cover and twist
pole clockwise to lock in position. Be careful to align the cutaway grooves on the threaded joint (male end) with the two protruding raised pieces inside the hollow end of the base cover.
2.Now turn the base cover upside down (pole facing floor) and place the weighted insert into the base cover. The pole threads will be exposed as they protrude through the base insert.
3.Hold the pole, base cover and weighted insert in one hand, place the base nut on the thread- ed section and hand tighten the base nut with the other hand.
NOTE: Do not use a tool to tighten the base nut.
Pole assembly
You will need the second pole (O) (The poles are interchangeable).
1.Insert the pole with the threaded joint (male end), into the hollow end of the second pole until both poles meet. Be careful to align the cutaway/grooves on the threaded joint (male end) with the two protruding pieces inside the hollow end of the second pole (female end) (P).
2.Now slowly turn the pole with the threaded joint clockwise to lock it securely in place.
Fan head assembly
You are now ready to assemble the fan head.
1.Position the rear grill (G) over the motor shaft
(I) making certain that the 2 notches at the top and bottom of the rear grill, fit over the 2 prongs on the motor housing (J,M).Please make sure the rear grill sits securely against the motor housing.
2.Secure the rear grill in its place using the rear grill mounting nut (F). Turn this nut clockwise and tighten firmly. Position the large fan blade (E), with the hollowed interior of the blade fac- ing towards the rear grill, firmly onto the motor shaft. Align the motor shaft pin with the recessed groove on the back of the fan blade. Be sure that the shaft protrudes through the front of the blade.
3.Position the small fan blade (D) into the hol- lowed interior of the large blade and press firmly into place. Also be sure that the shaft protrudes from the front of the blade.
4.Secure the fan blades onto the motor shaft by turning the blade cap (C)
5.Centre the front grill (B) by aligning the Bionaire® logo on the logo plate (A) so that it is horizontal and parallel with the floor. Then, secure the front and rear grills completely together by pushing the front grill onto the clips, whilst holding the clips in place.
Final assembly
1.Insert the fan neck joint into the hollow end of the top pole and slowly turn the neck joint to lock in place. Be careful to align the cutaway/
grooves on the neck joint with the two protruding raised pieces inside the hollow end of the pole.
2.Lastly, insert the tilt adjustment knob (N) into the neck joint and tighten until it is securely in place.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This fan is equipped with two poles which allow you to adjust the height of the fan for two height settings. With one pole only, the fan can be used on a table or floor. With both poles fitted it is a floor standing fan.
•Small pole 760mm (30")
•Longer pole 910mm (36")
•Both poles 1250mm (50")
Floor to table conversion
1.Remove the fan head by turning it
2.Refit the fan head as detailed in "Final assembly".
