Introduction
®TEMPEST TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
is the leading manufacturer of products and
accessories for environmental management in
firefighting, industrial, and golf/turf applications
TEMPEST began business as a
manufacturer of gasoline and electric
powered blowers for the fire service,
whose departments use the ®TEMPEST
POWER BLOWER to provide “Positive
Pressure Ventilation”(PPV) to remove
heat, gases and smoke from the interior of
a burning structure.
TEMPEST has expanded into other
industries and found new applications for
its products. The ®TEMPEST POWER
BLOWER and PPV are used by
construction contractors to control dust,
fumes and unhealthy gases like carbon
monoxide; greatly improving safety in
confined spaces.
®TEMPEST TECHNOLOGY
CORPORATION has established a
reputation as a leader and innovator in the
air movement industry and continues in
that role today.

Safety Guide
Safety Guide Failure to follow the operating, maintenance and
lubrication requirements set forth in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual may result in
serious personal injury and/or damage to
equipment.
The following WARNING statements indicate
potentially hazardous conditions for
operators and equipment. Make certain that
anyone who works on or around the blower
has read and fully understands the safety
precautions listed.
1. Carefully read this Operation and Maintenance
Manual before attempting to operate, service or
disassemble any part of your ®TEMPEST
POWER BLOWER.
2. Never operate the unit when mentally or
physically fatigued.
3. Stay away from rotating parts; avoid wearing
loose jackets, shirts, and ties. Keep hands and feet
away from the blower.
4. Keep all unauthorized personnel at a safe distance
from the blower.
5. Keep all guards in place. Never make repairs
while the unit is running. Never operate if any
guard or grill is not in place.
6. Always wear eye protection. Loose debris can be
picked up in the air stream and flown in the air.
Safety Guide 2.1
Safety Guide Continued…
7. Hearing protection is required. Motor and air
noise may exceed safe DB levels.
8. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. To prevent fire hazards,
do not place flammable objects close to the
engine.
9. Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling,
make sure the tank cap is closed properly and
secured. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area
is dry before starting the engine.
10. Never operate gasoline-powered blowers in an
enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure may
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to
death.
11. The muffler becomes very hot during operation
and remains hot for some time after stopping the
engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while
it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let
the engine cool before transporting or storing the
unit.
12. It is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
to develop and practice the proper use of the
®TEMPEST POWER BLOWER in accordance
with generally accepted ventilation procedures as
well as the department’s own operating
procedures before placing the unit into service.
