9. Keep fingers away from a running unit;
fast moving and hot parts will cause injury
and/or burns.
10. If the equipment starts to vibrate abnormally,
STOP the motor and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally an indication
of trouble.
Fogging Precautions
DANGER
A motionless atomizer may
appear safe, but its blade
could suddenly begin high-
speed rotation without
warning as a result of
control programming.
When Turbo XEs are automated by controls,
warning signs should be posted near the high-
speed equipment.
Disconnect and lock out power source to inspect
or service the unit.

Since the Turbo XE uses high-speed components
to atomize liquids, the following safety precautions
must be observed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product. Be familiar
with the product and controls.
2. Follow United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
guidelines and regulations when fogging
pesticide or chemical solutions.
3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes
as well as the United States National
Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
4. Only persons well acquainted with these
rules of safe operation should be allowed to
use the atomizer.
5. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in
the work area.
6. Use of an extension cord for the Turbo XE is
not recommended. If necessary, consult a
certified electrician about use of a heavy-
gauge, grounded extension cord.
7. Before each use, inspect blade assembly
and electrical components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for
proper tightness.
MOTORS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND
CONTROLS CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL
ARCS THAT WILL IGNITE FLAMMABLE
LIQUID OR GAS. NEVER OPERATE OR
REPAIR IN OR NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUID OR GAS.
NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR GASES IN THE
VICINITY OF THE ATOMIZER.
DO NOT ATOMIZE
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
11. Humidity and cold air are
two common asthma triggers.
Asthmatic people working
with this equipment need to
be made aware of the risk.
12. When atomizing toxic chemicals, follow the
instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
NEVER OPERATE TURBO XE
WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD
IN PLACE IF THE UNIT IS LOWER THAN SEVEN FEET ABOVE
WORKING HEIGHT.
