PLAN THE WIRING
1. This downdraft blower using the Flex Blower (purchase
separately) draws 3.0 Amps and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
circuit. If using a remote blower (purchase separately), the
system draws 6.0 Amps (max.) and requires a 120 VAC, 60
Hz circuit.
2. The unit has a 18 in. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug.
Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will
allow the unit’s power cord to reach.
3. Install electrical box according to local codes.
PREPARE THE DOWNDRAFT
Installations ducting through front panel opening only:
1. Place the downdraft on its back on a table or fl at work surface.
