 ADJUSTABLE PITCH PROPELLERS (AIRFLOW = MP)                AIRFLOW = MP (AIR OVER MOTOR THEN PROP)
                                                      Rotation is determined by viewing the propeller
 Airflow Direction                                                 from the discharge side of the fan.

 Leading Edge of Blade

 - Air is drawn through the propeller from the leading                               Intake Side
 edge of the blades.
 - The concave side of the blade cups the air and                                                              Airflow Direction
 pushes it away from the prop                                                                              air passes over Motor

 NOTE 1: Airflow direction and rotation must be correct in order for
 the fan to operate at 100% performance.


 NOTE 2: If the propeller rotates in the wrong direction, you will not
 get any airflow at all in the proper direction.
