Guidelines for fog machines
Fluid guidelines:
- Only use water-based fog liquids!
- Ayra recommends the use of Ayra fog machine fluid only. Other types of fog liquid may cause permanent
damage or bad performance. When the wrong type of fog liquid is used, the machine might spray hot liquid.
- It is possible to keep fog machine fluid in the tank during transport. Pay close attention to possible tipping.
When transporting this device with fluid still in the tank, the maximum level should not exceed 50%!
- When transporting this device with parcel delivery companies (or any other way of transport where the
device could be positioned upside-down), the fluid tank needs to be fully drained.
Temperature guidelines:
- The fog machine requires a heat-up time. It is not directly ready for use when switched on.
- The temperature of the heating element is set in the factory. Do not attempt to change the set temperature
of the device.
- The fog coming out of the fog machine is very hot and moist on short distance. Keep animals, small
children, flammable objects and electronic devices away from the fog machine output.
- After use, unplug the power cable from its socket and let the machine cool down at least 20 minutes. Do not
transport the machine while it is still hot! Small puffs of smoke may be produced during cool-down time.
Ventilation and health guidelines:
- Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room. Fresh air needs to be able to enter the
room and vaporized fog needs to be able to be drained from the room.
- Pay caution with the amount of fog used. Only small amounts of fog are required to accentuate professional
lighting and make the beams visible. Do not proceed producing fog when the visibility drops below 2 meters.
- The use of fog is not hazardous for people or animals, if used with caution and proper ventilation. Do not
use more fog than needed to achieve the desired effect.
Exterior guidelines:
- Do not cover the nozzle of the fog machine, do not place a tube over the nozzle.
- When using the fog machine in a standing or hanging angle, do not adjust the vertical angle more than 15%
up or down
- When used in a hanging position, the device always needs to be secured by using a safety cable. Attach
the safety cable to the provided safety eye with the carabiner hook. A safety cable is not included in delivery
and can be purchased separately.
- The device must be installed on a flat surface or hanging from a solid construction by using the included
bracket. Never hold the machine in your hands during use!
