Brand Fog Juice™ in the fluid reservoir. A green L.E.D. on the
front of the unit will glow to warn you when the fog juice is run-
ning low. The pump will shut off automatically when the fog juice
reaches a certain level. Running the fog machine dry will cause
pump failure and or clogging. This is the largest cause of failure
in fog and haze machines. Only American Fog Juice™ is recom-
mended and not all fog juice is created equal.

troller is turned on and is activated.

- The RED L.E.D. located to the right is for manual fogging, wait for
the gREEN L.E.D. to light up, then press the button.
The remote also contains two rotary knobs.
- The Duration knob serves two functions 1) Turns the timer on and
off. 2) Sets the timers duration (Length of fog output).
If you experience low fog output, pump noise, or no fog output at all,
disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to con-
tinue pushing the remote control’s activation button as this may dam-
age the fog machine. Check fluid level, the external fuse or breaker,
remote connection, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If
all of the above appear to be okay, and the unit fails to operate cor-
rectly, the unit will require service. Please contact American DJ
