CLEANING YOUR FAN-TASTIC FAN FROM INSIDE THE COACH |
|||
Step 1 |
 |
 |
Open Dome all the way. Then remove the fuse by pushing up and turning the black fuse cap 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. |
| Note* | Since 1985 Fan-Tasic Vent has used 2 screens in production; from 4/'85 through 12/'07 screens were attached by 8 screws. From 1/'08 through current production: all screens are Pop'N Lock (No screws required). | ||
Step 2 |
 |
 |
Original Screen
|
| Option | Once screen and blade are clean and dry, you may wipe or spray 303 protectant (A water based protectant; do not use a petroleum based protectant). This minimizes dust and dirt builds up and eases future cleaning. | ||
Step 3 |
 |
|
After cleaning the screen and fan blade, reverse steps 1 and 2 to put your fan back together. |
| OR | If you want to remove the fan blade for thorough cleaning, continue to Step #4 | ||
Step 4 |
 |
 |
Remove screws from the lift motor and unplug 2 lead wires using 2 pair of pliers. (If your fan is manual, remove the center screw from the black lift knob.) |
Step 5 |
 |
|
Remove 3 remaining screws in the face of the assembly located outside the screen ring. Gently guide the entire screen assembly down and let it hang by the internal wires. Some fans require unplugging additional leads on passenger side of fan to easily access blade. |
Step 6 |
 |
 |
If fan is equipped with a rain sensor, locate the two 20 gauge black wires that feed down from the top side of the fan through the T-slot in the base. Trace the wires to the red connector on the circuit board, pop the spot of glue and carefully unplug it. *One can also go up on the roof and unscrew the rain sensor strip, feed it through the T-slot to be pulled down inside, intact later. |
 |
 |
||
Step 7 |
 |
 |
With the screen assembly hanging down, locate the notch on the top-side of the fan blade core. Using a long 3/32” allen wrench (pliers or vise- grips are necessary for a good grip) loosen the set-screw counter-clockwise. Now grab the fan blade with two hands on opposite sides (i.e. 3 & 9 o’clock positions) and wiggle up and down, side to side until the blade comes off the motor shaft. |
 |
 |
||
Step 8 |
 |
 |
Clean screen insert and fan blade with window cleaner or non-abrasive dish soap and rinse in warm water. |
Step 9 |
 |
 |
Put your fan back together by reversing Steps 1 through 7 and enjoy your Fan-Tastic Vent. |
| Option | Once screen and blade are clean and dry, you may wipe or treat them with 303 Protectant; (A water based protectant; Do not use a petroleum based protectant). This minimizes dust and dirt build up and eases future cleaning. | ||

|||
Step 1 |
 |
 |
Open the dome (lid) all the way. Remove 1 screw from the back of the dome slide (located on the inside of the dome) to further open dome. |
Step 2 |
 |
 |
Remove the 4 screws that hold the motor mount (bowtie) to the base of the fan. Lift entire motor assembly (motor, bowtie & fan blade) up and tip the assembly to a 45º angle (aprox.) |
Step 3 |
 |
 |
Locate the notch on the top-side of the fan blade core and identify the set screw that secures the fan blade to the motor shaft. |
Step 4 |
 |
 |
Using a 9" x 3/32" allen T-handle wrench (shown in Step 3) loosen the allen screw counter-clockwise. Grab the fan blade and wiggle up and down, side to side until the blade comes off the motor shaft. |
| Note* | Since 1985 Fan-Tasic Vent has used 2 screens in production; from 4/'85 through 12/'07 screens were attached by 8 screws. From 1/'08 through current production: all screens are Pop'N Lock (No screws required). | ||
Step 5 |

 |
Original Screen
|
Step 6 |
 |
 |
Clean screen insert and fan blade with window cleaner or non abrasive dish soap and rinse in warm water. *The top rack of your automatic dishwasher may also be handy to clean your screen, fan blade or complete motor assembly. |
Step 7 |
Put your fan back together by reversing Steps 1 through 5. | ||
| Option | Once screen and blade are clean and dry, you may wipe or spray 303 protectant; (A water based protectant; Do not use a petroleum based protectant). This minimizes dust and dirt build up and eases future cleaning. | ||
