the device’s power cord. Should an over-current condition occur, the Axial Air Movers’ on-board circuit breaker prevents nuisance visits to a remote power junction box.

IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the Axial Air Mover plus all devices plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 12 amps. The circuit breaker will not allow for loads in excess of 12 amps, although there is a time delay before the overloaded circuit is broken.

8.3 Power Indication Lamp

The red, sealed, high intensity AC voltage power indication lamp allows operators to visually identify the operation status of several Phoenix Axial Air Movers at a distance, with a single glance. The power indication lamp will remain lit when the AC power cord is plugged into a standard “powered” AC power outlet and the 3-position drying selector switch is in either the HIGH or LOW operation position. The power indication lamp will remain unlit when the AC power cord is unplugged, the 3-position drying selector switch in the OFF position, the on-board GFCI

or 12 Amp circuit breaker is tripped, or the connected, standard AC wall outlet power has been turned off.

8.4 3-Position Drying Selector Switch

The 3-position drying mode selector switch. This switch is used to select the Phoenix Axial Air Mover’s mode of operation. The 3 modes of operation are OFF, LOW or HIGH.

IMPORTANT: When the Phoenix Axial Air Mover is plugged into a standard “powered” wall outlet the Phoenix Axial Air Mover’s duplex outlets are electrically “HOT” and AC voltage is present.

OFF - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is not drying. The power indication lamp is unlit. If the unit is plugged into a standard “powered” wall outlet all devices connected to the unit’s duplex GFCI outlet receive AC voltage.

LOW - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is in “Normal” Drying mode. This mode provides rapid drying and very quiet operation. The power indication lamp will be lit. All devices connected to the devices duplex GFCI outlet will receive AC voltage.

HIGH - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is in “Fast” drying mode. This mode provides the industries most rapid drying while maintaining low noise operation. The power indication lamp will be lit. All devices connected to the devices duplex GFCI outlet will receive AC voltage.

8.5GFCI Protection and the On-Board Duplex VAC Outlet

The standard AC voltage outlet GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection promotes operator safety in wet applications. GFCI devices trip when a fault to electrical “ground” is sensed.

It is recommended to check the GFCI protection prior to operation. To check, push the “TEST” button located on the GFCI duplex outlet. If operating properly the “RESET” button on the GFCI outlet will pop out. Depending on your Axial Air Movers specific equipment, a tripped GFCI may be indicated by a small LED. The device can only be “RESET” when the Axial Air Mover is connected to a wall outlet providing standard voltage. This duplex AC outlet allows the inter-connection of other AC powered devices. The sum total amperage of all devices plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 9 amps.

9 Maintenance

WARNING: Disconnect the unit from power before servicing, lubrication or cleaning. Replace the wire safety grill after servicing, lubrication or cleaning.

9.1 Servicing

Before each use inspect for damage, blocked inlet or outlet, or any excess buildup of foreign material.

Inspect the GFCI to ensure it is not in a “tripped” condition. Push “RESET” to reset the GFCI.

When the Phoenix Axial Air Mover is first turned on, check for excessive vibration. If the unit vibrates excessively or if blade rubs on housing, turn off the unit immediately. Have a service technician inspect the unit to locate the problem.

Figure 10: Oil hole locations. Access the oil holes by removing the protective grill(s) and turning the unit upside down.
