Operating the machine
1. Add
Bio-Bubble
TM
or Bubblessence
TM
fluid by slowly pouring into front tray until ¾ full.
Do not overfill! Bubblessence
TM
adds scent to create the fourth dimension in colorful
bubbles.
2.
When the power switch is turned on, the light on the switch will illuminate. You may use
the on/off switch on the machine without the Remote Control (or the DMX Control)
plugged in. When the machine is turned on without the remote, you will notice that the
internal bubble drum and fan are activated. Bubbles are now produced. It is possible to
control the bubbles with the optional wireless remote control (110VAC only) from 50ft –
75ft (15m – 30m).
3.
For cycle-timing of the machine, you must use the Remote Control. The red “on/off”
button must be depressed for “Timer” or “Bubble” functions to work. The fan and bubble
drum come on when the timer cycle begins and goes off when the cycle ends. The fan
and drum go on or off each time you press “Bubble” for short bursts of bubbles.
5.5
Optional DMX Control
With optional DMX control, you will be able to turn the Bubble Buddy
TM
on/off. (See
section 5.9 for more details on DMX operation.)
5.6
Rest Period
This machine can be run continuously until the reservoir is empty.
Unplug the machine
when refilling the liquid or cleaning the system. Extended use in one location without a
fan, will make all surfaces slippery. Periodically, check surrounding area for safety.
5.7
Shut down
Regular cleaning of the bubble wheel is required. To clean, add warm water to the tray
and turn on machine, allowing the wands to be completely submerged over and over for
ten minutes. Change the water frequently until clean wands appear. Then dry the
machine with a paper towel prior to storage. Always draw out the fluid with a turkey
baster or similar device. (See section 6, Service and Maintenance.) If unavailable,
remove the two screws on each side near the front. Carefully pull up on the top, holding
the base flat. When liquid tray is exposed, remove it and wash before replacing.
5.8 Troubleshooting
1.
If the unit does not light up when plugged in
(power switch), check power supply, then
check fuse. Check connections. If this does nothing, disconnect power and call for
service.
