**Operation**
WARNING
: designed for atomizing water only !!! Don’t use in any case flammable, toxic or corrosive liquids.
x
Operating the unit with the fogging head will provide directionnal fogging output and a drier fog.
x
For a maximum fogging and circulation, operate unit without the lower housing as well as upper housing and fogging
head. Fog will propel from 35 to 50 cm above unit.
**Troubleshooting**
*No Fog*
Check for motor rotation. If the motor is operating properly, check for an adequat amount of water in the pan (1
to 3 cm). If the pan runs dry, the float valve may be sticking in the up position. If so, the inlet water pressure must be
reduced. If the water supply is adequat, check the tapered pump for internal calcium build-up. Remove, inspect and
clean as needed.
*Overflowing Pan*
An overfilled pan can cause poor quality of fog and wetness around the unit. A leaky float valve or a float that has
filled with water may be the problem. To check the float, raise it out of the water and visually inspect it. No water
should be inside and it should not sink. If OK, then check for a leaky valve. Turn water off and remove the fogger from
the pan. Empty the pan and towel dry. Hold the float in the up position and turn the water on. If the water fills the pan
while the float is in the up position, the float valve needs being replaced.
**Maintenance**
x
Check and clean atomizing screen and filter
x
Regularly clean the reservoir pan assembly with soap and water to remove dirt and sediment. Use liquid bleach
after cleaning to sterilize any parts.
x
Periodically remove strainer screen and thoroughly flush with water. Also check to make sure the pump assembly is
free of debris.
x
Every three months, check units for calcium build-up. If build-up deposits are present, disconnect the water and
take the unit outside. Pour calcium dissolving solvent (available in local hardware stores) in pan and operate unit
outside to soften and remove the deposits.
x
On a yearly basis, remove the housing to check the SST Atomizing Screen to be sure the slots are clear of mineral
build-up. To clean, scrub with calcium dissolving solvent.
