Remove the Nut
²
It is possible to remove the blade should something accidentally get wrapped around the motor shaft. First, remove the nut from the shaft (only necessary on V102, 133, 270, 573, 533, 633, 673, 679, 743 and 753 models.) Turn the nut clockwise to loosen. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft. When replacing, the blade can only go on the shaft one way. Be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the cor- responding flat side on the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing dam- age. Reinstall nut on applicable models.
Because your Air Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, unplug the unit before any cleaning activity.
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
To clean motor cap and inlet ribs: Use a com- mon household vacuum. Do not use water to clean these parts of the Air Circulator.
To clean grill: Remove grill (See GRILL RE- MOVAL instructions) and dust or wash with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grill in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To clean blade: Wipe with a damp cloth. If your Air Circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents.
To clean base: Wipe with a damp cloth.
