Maintenance
The Z-80 fogger requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the
mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Do not use alcohol or
solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth. Make
sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the fog liquid container and
the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling.
After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution composed of
80% distilled water/20% white vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter
in the heating element.
When cleaning, use only a clean, lint-free soft cloth. An effective cleaning regimen is as follows:
1.
While unit is unplugged and cool, unscrew nozzle at very front of unit and clean out debris with vinegar
and a pipe cleaner, making sure that the hole is free of clogs.
2.
Empty all fog fluid from machine. Add cleaning solution to tank. Plug unit in and begin warm up.
3.
Run unit in a well-ventilated area until tank is empty
.
4.
Replace nozzle and refill with liquid.
Performance Notes
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some
moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when
installing your unit.
Fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so
after being turned off.
All fog machines have a recycling period after bursts of fog, when the machine will shut itself down for a
short period in order to heat back up. During this time no fog can be produced.
Troubleshooting
Antari Z-80 Fogger
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running a fog machine with no fluid can permanently
damage the unit.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates
properly, do not carry out following steps.
If the fogger does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
1.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately.
2.
Check fluid level, the external fuse, remote connection, and power from the wall.
3.
If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
4.
If fog does not come out after holding the remote button down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to
the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose. Make sure the fogger isn’t warming up.
5.
If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue pushing the remote
button, as this may damage the unit.
6.
Return the machine to your Antari dealer.
