General Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions:
The SNOW STORM has some simple instructions that must be carefully followed in order to
create the desired evaporative snowfall, ensure the safety of the operators/participants and to
protect the equipment from damage.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
1)
Mount the SNOW STORM on a secure, dry and level platform. Since the larger the flake size the
slower it will be to evaporate, Chart 2 recommends Rotary Switch or Remote settings to minimize
residue on the ground. For safety reasons, the SNOW STORM should be unplugged from the
electrical outlet while placing it in your desired location. The Nozzle should be pointed in the
direction you want it to spray snow. Hang or route the 30 ft. tethered remote as required to the
desired operating location without pinching the wire.
Do not operate the SNOW STORM in
the rain. The SNOW STORM is not waterproof. If it gets wet, unplug the snow
machine and contact “Global Special Effects™” technical support at 1-256-229-
5551.

* 10 ft is probably too low to prevent some residue on the ground.
2)
If the snow solution is a concentrate, prepare the snow solution in the empty plastic gallon bottle
provided (located in the SNOW STORM solution bottle well) per the “Solution Mixture” section of
this manual (See Chart 1). If the correct water/concentrate mix is not blended properly, the SNOW
STORM may not create the ideal evaporative snowflakes. Place the clear tube in the container with
the “Solution Mixture” and push it down so that the open end reaches the bottom of the filled
container. The pump in the SNOW STORM is self-priming.
3)
In order to start the SNOW STORM, plug the Snow Machine power cord into an outlet with a
3
rd
lead grounded conductor (preferably a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt -GFCI). Next, turn the
power
