How to use

The EXO5 HD can be used in one of three different ways:

1. Tripod base
2. Clamp
3. Wall mount

Assembly

The EXO5 HD can be used in one of three different ways.

• Connect the Locking Socket Joint (B) to the EXO5 HD Fan Head (A) at any flat location along the Roll Cage (C). Before proceeding, ensure that the knob is properly tightened and the Locking Socket Joint (B) is fully secured to the Fan Head (A). Do not pinch the power cord between the Locking Socket Joint (B) and the Fan Head (A).
• To connect the Fan Head/Locking Socket Joint assembly to either the Clamp (E) or the Tripod Base (F), simply insert the attachment into the underside of the Locking Socket Joint (D) and twist until secured.
• To remove the Clamp (E) or the Tripod Base (F), simply twist until loosened.

Tripod base attachment

• After product assembly, position the unit on a flat and level surface.
• To adjust the angle of the head tilt, simply loosen the connection between the Fan Head (A) and the Tripod Base (B) with a twist, adjust to the desired angle, and then twist to retighten.

Clamp attachment

•  After product assembly, twist the Clamp Knob (C) to open the Clamp (D).
• Position the Clamp (D) over a solid surface up to 2 inches thick.
• Twist the Clamp Knob (C) to tighten. Make sure the Clamp (D) is fully engaged on the solid surface before releasing.

Wall mount installation

• Locate the Key Holes (A) on the back of the product.
• Find and mark two circles on the wall where the product will be mounted. The circles must be 5 inches apart from center to center.
• Drill two #10 panhead screws into the wall (screws not included). Each screw should be rated for a 10 lb vertical load.
• Leave approximately 1/4 inch of each screw exposed.
• Place the wide portions of the Key Holes over the heads of the two screws.
• Slide the product downward until the screws are inside the narrow portions of the Key Holes and the product is securely mounted to the surface.

Cleaning

• Remove the six screws located on the front of the grille.
• Dust or wash the Front Grille with mild dishwashing soap. Do not place the grille in the dishwasher, as excessive heat can distort the plastic.
• To reattach the grille, align the six screw holes and replace all the screws.

Blade removal

• First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning it clockwise to loosen. Remove the washer. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
• Wipe the blade with a damp cloth. If your 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. Do not place the blade in the dishwasher, as excessive heat can distort the plastic.
• To reattach the blade, ensure the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side of the blade's socket. Push the blade completely onto the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer, as this could damage the bearings. Reinstall the washer and nut.
