OPERATION.
WARNING:
Before applying power to the unit and switching on, open the flap (3) on the top of
the tank case and remove the screw cap (5). Keep this in a safe place and be sure to replace it
during transit, or during long periods of non operation.
1. Site the
Strata
in a well ventilated area.
2. Remove the power cord from the cable tidy (8), and plug into IEC connector (9) ensuring first
that the mains power switch on the control panel (7) is in the OFF position.
3. Open flap (3) and remove the screw cap (5). Check the fluid level to be within the lower and
upper limits on the viewing window (4). Refer to routine maintenance section of this manual
if necessary. OVERFILLING REDUCES PERFORMANCE and QUALITY OF MIST
OUTPUT.
4. If a mist is required in a specific area, such as a dance floor or a particular area on location,
CLOSE flap (3). Turn mains power switch ON and mist will immediately start to emerge from
the side mist outlet (2).
5. If a more ambient mist is required, leave flap (3) OPEN. Turn the mains power switch ON and
mist will immediately start to emerge upwards from the machine.
6. Avoid operating the unit such that the room or venue becomes too heavy with mist. The
maximum acceptable level will be when the mist is just visible to the eye. Please refer to the
useful tips section of this manual.
WARNING
: The tank top has a pressure relief bung (12) which is designed to prevent excess
pressure building up in the tank, should the
Strata
be inadvertently switched on, with the screw
cap still in place. This is for safety reasons only, and good operational practice should be used to
ensure that the screw cap is always removed, prior to applying mains power. If the screw cap has
been left on with the compressor running, the relief bung is likely to have blown out. Simple
refitting should restore the unit to full specification, but thorough inspection is advisable to
ensure the tank has not become distorted or the tank/lid rubber seal has ruptured, causing fluid
leaks if tippped.
WARNING:
Ensure the fan grill (6) does not become blocked as this will lead to excessive
internal temperatures and shorten the working life of the compressor.
WARNING
Always travel the machine with the printed arrows pointing upwards. This is
necessary to avoid accidental spillage of the fluid, although short term tipping should not
produce any leaks if the screw cap is securly fitted. The
Strata
is equipped with a centrally
placed carrying handle, provided for ease of moving over short distances.
