Magnum 1500 user manual
Preventing burns and fire
• Allow the machine to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling or
opening – the machine becomes hot during use.
• Use only genuine Martin or JEM fluid in the machine.
• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always
replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.
• Ensure that the air flow around the machine is free and unobstructed.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around the
machine.
• Do not touch the output nozzle during or after use; it may stay hot for
several hours.
• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (T
a
) exceeds 40°
C (104° F).
• Keep the nozzle at least 0.6 meters (24 inches) away from people and
objects.
• Do not install the machine with the nozzle pointing more than 30° up or
down from horizontal.
Preventing injuries due to falls
• Work from a stable platform and block access below the work area
whenever installing, servicing or removing the machine.
• Do not hang the machine directly over people’s heads.
• When suspending the machine above ground level, verify that the
structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.
• Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely
fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as
a safety cable.
• Fog and smoke machines can cause condensation. Do not point the
output at high traffic areas with smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may
become slippery. Check these frequently and wipe dry as necessary to
avoid any danger of slipping.
Preventing breathing problems
• Always use fog and smoke machines in well-ventilated areas.
Excessive use could affect sufferers of asthma or other respiratory
conditions.
• Never point the output directly at a person’s face or at face height.
