Maintenance

The casing of the G300 is steel with a powder paint coating. To clean simply wash with

mild soap and warm water.

Periodically check to ensure that the fluid pick up filter screen is in place and clean from

debris.

With normal use we do not recommend flushing or cleaning the heat exchanger, with the

use of genuine Le Maitre fluids. Using high quality Le Maitre fluid should result in a long

heat exchanger life. (See warranty policy later in this manual).

Recommended  Fluids

This fluid has been our long standing blend. It is a clean, white, practically odourless

fog.  It is used for many applications where a cloud of fog is required with a medium hang

time.

This is a brand new blend. We have had many compliments on our fog fluid but many

of our customers would like it to hang longer so we introduced the "Long Lasting Fluid".

It is still odourless but a little less white than our "Fog Fluid".  It hangs in the air 2 - 3

times longer than the above "Fog Fluid".

We have been mixing this for some time for our special effects people working in the

movies.  We have decided that there are many other applications for this fluid.  When

using this in the LSX or LSG you will find it works very well if you are having problems

with the smoke rising too quickly.  It has also been used for quick burst-of-steam effects,

nitrogen bursts, etc.  It will dissipate at about twice the rate of the "Molecular Fluid".
