Maintenance 

Do not allow the Vesuvio™ RGBA to become clogged. Dust build-up reduces light output 
performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and 
increased mechanical wear.  After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use 
CHAUVET® Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the accumulation of 
particulate matter in the heating element. 
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows. 
1.  Unplug the product from power. 
2.  Empty all fluid from the machine. 
3.  Add cleaning solution to the tank. 
4.  Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up. 
5.  Run the product in a well-ventilated area until the tank is empty. 
6.  Refill with fog fluid to continue using the Vesuvio™ RGBA. Run the machine briefly to 

clear any cleaning solution from the pump and heater.  

7.  Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on 

the external vents.  

8.  Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or 

isopropyl alcohol.  

9.  Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. 
10.  Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.  
11.  Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. 

 

FCQ (Fog Cleaner Quart) was specifically developed by CHAUVET® to clean your 
Vesuvio™ RGBA. Make sure you use FCQ regularly to increase the life of your 
fogger. 

 

Do not spin the fans using compressed air because you could damage the fogger. 

Storage 

Before storing the Vesuvio™ RGBA, run FCQ through the system as described in the 
cleaning procedure above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the tank 
with fluid if storing the Vesuvio™ RGBA. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help 
prevent any particles from condensing inside the pump or heater while not in use. 

 

Test run your Vesuvio™ RGBA on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
