DISPENSING FOG
Model 2620 Blackhawk and Model 2630 Mister III
NOTE
It is a good idea to put only as much formulation in the tank as is necessary to do a particular job. Thus, the
formulation tank will be empty when the fogging job is finished.
The Formulation Tank must be air tight for the machine to operate properly.
WARNING
READ THE ENTIRE
OPERATION SECTION
AND THE SECTION ON
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISPENSING FOG.
