1
00:00:02.260 --> 00:00:04.140
In this lesson,
we'll introduce

2
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:05.640
our turbojet family.

3
00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:07.920
Turbojets
are our negative air

4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:09.870
machines,
and they come in three

5
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:11.190
models.

6
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:14.800
The Turbojet Max,
the Turbojet Max 2,

7
00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:17.980
and our top of the line
Turbojet Super Max.

8
00:00:19.090 --> 00:00:21.100
All turbojets
have the same body,

9
00:00:21.590 --> 00:00:23.090
wheels and filters.

10
00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:25.040
The differences
are in the power

11
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.540
specifications.

12
00:00:26.930 --> 00:00:28.430
Think of each one
like a car.

13
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:31.110
The Turbojet Max is like
a four cylinder.

14
00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:35.170
The MAX II is like an
8-cylinder and the SUPER

15
00:00:35.170 --> 00:00:37.570
MAX
is a 12-cylinder beast.

16
00:00:38.410 --> 00:00:40.730
At Aircare, our experience
in duct cleaning

17
00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:42.820
has allowed us to design
our turbojets

18
00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:44.530
to be easy to use.

19
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:48.800
Turbojets can be easily
moved around corners,

20
00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:51.390
upstairs,
and down to basements.

21
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.670
The back wheels
are a heavy-duty 12-inch

22
00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:56.630
wheel.

23
00:00:56.630 --> 00:00:59.420
The front swivel casters
are lockable to keep

24
00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:01.380
the unit in place
and allows

25
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:03.330
easy maneuverability
when needed.

26
00:01:04.970 --> 00:01:07.690
All of our wheels
are non-marking, so those

27
00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:10.140
homes with white carpeting
will not be an issue.

28
00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:12.660
But make sure you
wipe down the wheels

29
00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:14.160
for any dirt
before entering.

30
00:01:15.380 --> 00:01:17.200
Each turbojet has an
opening

31
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.830
at the top and a mounting
collar to connect

32
00:01:19.830 --> 00:01:21.790
your 12-inch Mylar hose
at one end.

33
00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:25.360
To attach the other end
to the vent,

34
00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:28.300
you can use the supplied
collar to attach the hose

35
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.160
to the ceiling with tape
or have a second worker

36
00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:32.730
hold it in place.

37
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:35.470
However, we do have a much
better solution,

38
00:01:35.990 --> 00:01:38.750
our expandable pogo pole
hose adapter.

39
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:41.980
This will allow
hands-free connection

40
00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:43.980
between the turbojet
and the vent.

41
00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:48.120
It also has an opening
to use the sidewinder

42
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.740
or air whisk reverse valve
to clean.

43
00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:53.420
Each turbojet has four
latches

44
00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:55.570
that allow easy access
to the filters.

45
00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:59.860
The turbojets
come with three filters.

46
00:01:59.860 --> 00:02:01.510
When shipped,
these filters will be

47
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:04.440
packed inside your
machine.

48
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:06.360
The first stage
electrostatic filter

49
00:02:06.510 --> 00:02:08.750
has a disposable pad
and is mounted

50
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:10.510
to the top section
of the turbojet.

51
00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:13.800
It is held in place
with metal brackets at one

52
00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:15.790
end and a clip
at the other end.

53
00:02:17.170 --> 00:02:18.670
The pad
in the first filter

54
00:02:18.670 --> 00:02:21.760
is disposable and can be
used two to three times

55
00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.640
before it will need to be
replaced.

56
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:28.010
This is the first location
debris will collect and it

57
00:02:28.010 --> 00:02:29.510
will be the largest
debris.

58
00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.590
To empty after cleaning,
place

59
00:02:32.590 --> 00:02:35.530
or attach a large trash
bag at the top opening

60
00:02:35.530 --> 00:02:36.850
of the turbojet.

61
00:02:36.850 --> 00:02:39.740
Open the lid and as it
opens debris

62
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:41.300
will fall into the trash
bag.

63
00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:44.590
Once the debris
is collected, you can put

64
00:02:44.590 --> 00:02:46.090
the dirty filter
in the bag.

65
00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:49.900
The second stage
flex filter is embedded

66
00:02:50.030 --> 00:02:51.620
on the top of the HEPA
filter frame.

67
00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:55.290
This filter
is cleanable and reusable.

68
00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:58.580
To clean the filter, place
the filter

69
00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:00.830
outside and use a garden
hose.

70
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:03.860
Then spray
in the opposite direction

71
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.460
of the airflow first.

72
00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:08.600
Then turn it around
and clean the reverse.

73
00:03:09.970 --> 00:03:12.870
Once clean, let it
dry and return it

74
00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:14.370
to the turbojet.

75
00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.980
The third stage
HEPA filter is the most

76
00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:18.910
powerful filter
in the unit.

77
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:22.630
It collects debris down
to 0.3 microns.

78
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:25.840
This filter can be used
for an extended period.

79
00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:28.530
Note that this filter
cannot be cleaned.

80
00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:31.870
It will need to be
eventually replaced two

81
00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:34.200
to four times a year,
depending on use.

82
00:03:35.130 --> 00:03:37.180
How do you know it's time
to replace the HEPA

83
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:38.680
filter?

84
00:03:39.230 --> 00:03:41.270
Both the MAX II
and the SUPER MAX

85
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:43.970
have indicator lights
that will glow red when

86
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:45.930
the HEPA filter needs
to be replaced.

87
00:03:46.690 --> 00:03:48.280
For the Turbojet MAX,
there

88
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.350
isn't a visual indicator,
but if you

89
00:03:50.350 --> 00:03:53.150
suspect the airflow is not
as strong as it should be,

90
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:56.320
visually check the HEPA
filter for dirt or debris.

91
00:03:57.880 --> 00:03:59.780
Now that we have reviewed
the similarities

92
00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.170
in the turbojets,
let's look at the best

93
00:04:02.170 --> 00:04:03.670
uses for each one.

94
00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:06.780
We will be discussing
qubit feet per minute

95
00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.340
and suction lift
for our machines.

96
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.090
If you need a review,
please watch video

97
00:04:11.090 --> 00:04:12.590
2 for more information.

98
00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.480
We'll start
with the turbojet max.

99
00:04:16.310 --> 00:04:18.940
This unit is primarily
for residential cleaning.

100
00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:22.650
The TurboJet Max
has a single speed,

101
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:28.070
1.5 horsepower motor
and produces 2,500

102
00:04:28.070 --> 00:04:30.940
CFM's without a filter
and 2,000

103
00:04:30.940 --> 00:04:32.440
CFM's with filters.

104
00:04:33.210 --> 00:04:35.620
The wide opening will not
give you a lot of suction

105
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:38.480
power,
but you will get 2000 cfm

106
00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:40.460
of air movement,
which is what you

107
00:04:40.460 --> 00:04:41.960
want with negative air
cleaning.

108
00:04:43.260 --> 00:04:45.750
For smaller homes,
less than 1600

109
00:04:45.750 --> 00:04:48.090
square feet,
you will only need

110
00:04:48.090 --> 00:04:50.490
to place this unit in one
central location.

111
00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:54.100
But for larger homes,
you will need to move it

112
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:56.260
to a second location
to effectively

113
00:04:56.260 --> 00:04:57.760
clean the ducts.

114
00:04:58.820 --> 00:05:02.070
Before using the TurboJet
Max, you should first test

115
00:05:02.070 --> 00:05:03.130
it.

116
00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:05.990
Attach the 12 gauge,
25 foot power cord

117
00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:07.720
to a dedicated outlet.

118
00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:10.010
This is an outlet
that has nothing

119
00:05:10.010 --> 00:05:11.510
else attached to it.

120
00:05:12.070 --> 00:05:13.810
Turn on the circuit
breaker switch

121
00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:15.310
on the front panel.

122
00:05:16.140 --> 00:05:17.650
Then switch the run to on.

123
00:05:18.530 --> 00:05:20.790
The Max will slowly climb
to full speed.

124
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.280
You are now ready for duct
cleaning.

125
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.430
The Turbojet Max 2 is
next in our lineup.

126
00:05:28.780 --> 00:05:30.720
This comes with a one
and a half horsepower

127
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.830
motor,
but it has two speeds.

128
00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:37.280
It can produce 3,000 CFMs
without filters

129
00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:40.660
and 2,700 CFMs
with filters installed.

130
00:05:41.990 --> 00:05:44.340
The Max2 can clean any
home size

131
00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:46.740
and small to medium size
commercial buildings.

132
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.090
For single-story
residential cleaning,

133
00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:52.770
you will most likely need
to just place the Maxx2

134
00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:55.290
in one location
to clean the entire

135
00:05:55.290 --> 00:05:56.710
residence.

136
00:05:56.710 --> 00:05:59.350
For two story structures,
you will need to move

137
00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:01.360
the Maxx and the Maxx2
upstairs

138
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.250
for continued cleaning.

139
00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:05.440
To set up and test
the unit, place

140
00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.320
it at the desired location
for cleaning.

141
00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:10.850
Leave the top of the unit
open without the mylar

142
00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:12.350
hose attached.

143
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:15.120
Then attach the power cord
to a dedicated outlet.

144
00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:18.150
Then turn on the circuit
breaker switch

145
00:06:18.430 --> 00:06:19.930
on the front panel.

146
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.260
The Max 2 has a high and
low setting.

147
00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:26.730
Low setting is 13 amps
and the high setting is 17

148
00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:27.670
amps
depending

149
00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:29.170
on the available power.

150
00:06:29.580 --> 00:06:31.080
Choose
your desired setting.

151
00:06:32.370 --> 00:06:35.820
Next, set the speed
to high and switch the run

152
00:06:35.820 --> 00:06:37.260
to on.

153
00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:39.780
The Max 2 will slowly
spool up to full power.

154
00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:44.540
The Turbojet SuperMax is
our most powerful machine.

155
00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:48.180
The SuperMax comes with
a 3-horsepower,

156
00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.830
4-speed motor
which does add an

157
00:06:50.830 --> 00:06:53.010
additional 25 pounds
to the unit.

158
00:06:53.670 --> 00:06:57.030
It produces 5,000 CFMs
without filters

159
00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:59.760
and 3,500 CFMs
with filters.

160
00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:03.620
The SuperMax is for all
residential and commercial

161
00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.120
cleaning.

162
00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:08.350
The SuperMax also
comes with two 25 foot

163
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:10.430
power cords
which needs to be

164
00:07:10.430 --> 00:07:13.210
connected to two
separate 20 amp outlets.

165
00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:16.090
The outlets
must be on separate

166
00:07:16.090 --> 00:07:17.700
circuits
to run the SuperMax

167
00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:19.200
at full power.

168
00:07:19.590 --> 00:07:21.090
If you only have one
circuit,

169
00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:23.220
you can only use the two
lower speeds.

170
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.190
You can see
if you're running

171
00:07:26.190 --> 00:07:28.410
on different circuits
during the startup

172
00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:29.910
testing process.

173
00:07:30.470 --> 00:07:32.690
First, set the run switch
to the stop position.

174
00:07:33.450 --> 00:07:35.490
Make sure the top
of the turbojet does not

175
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:38.130
have the mylar hose
attached.

176
00:07:38.130 --> 00:07:39.630
Turn off both circuit
breakers.

177
00:07:40.590 --> 00:07:42.020
Next,
connect the two power

178
00:07:42.020 --> 00:07:44.090
cords
to two separate dedicated

179
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:45.370
outlets.

180
00:07:45.370 --> 00:07:48.060
Once the power cords
are connected, turn both

181
00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:50.360
the circuit breakers
on and wait five seconds.

182
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.440
The motor will not
run during this five

183
00:07:53.870 --> 00:07:55.370
second diagnostic check.

184
00:07:56.230 --> 00:07:58.120
The indicator light
below the HEPA change

185
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.720
light
will shine green during

186
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.790
the check if everything
is good to go.

187
00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:05.010
If you see a steady or
blinking red indicator,

188
00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:07.080
consult
your user's manual for

189
00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:08.580
additional steps.

190
00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:12.860
After the diagnostic check
is complete and everything

191
00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:15.270
is good,
the SuperMAX will slowly

192
00:08:15.290 --> 00:08:16.640
start up.

193
00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:18.730
The super max
is powerful and you

194
00:08:18.730 --> 00:08:21.510
will most likely need only
one or two motors

195
00:08:21.510 --> 00:08:23.010
running during cleaning.

196
00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:25.320
But it's good to know for
those tough jobs

197
00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:27.160
you have more power
if needed.
