TF200 Series Shark™ TurboBlade Fan - FAQs

Please note: models may vary and not all models come with all features. TF200 does not telescope, sleep, natural breeze, and has only one oscillation mode. UT205 does not have natural breeze.

Some models do not have the telescoping capability - please see your Quick Start Guide for more information. The TF200 model does not have telescoping, while the UT205, TF202S, TF202SWH, TF202C, and TF202SC do have telescoping capabilities. 

For models that do have telescoping capabilities, the unit will come with tape on the pole to help in the assembly process that needs to be removed before use. Please ensure that the tape has been removed.

To pivot from vertical to horizontal, manually grip one end of the fan and move the fan to the desired orientation.

Make sure that the blade has been firmly placed onto the unit. While keeping the other side of the fan stable, push the blade against the pole until there is no gap between the blade and the pole.

Ensure that the base plate is correctly installed onto the unit, and all assembled pieces are firmly in their correct locations. There are two main connection points; the pole to the base, and for the XL units, the base to the base plate. The connection points will both click when installed correctly.
