General Maintenance

In order to clean the Big Bear, fill another plastic container with water and insert the Sump Pump 
(the Big Bear, or Pump unplugged) as before. Run the Big Bear for 3-5 minutes. After a minute or 
so, it is normal for water to run out from the back end of the Big Bear.  Use a mild cleanser on the 
Outside of the Big Bear except on the FAN housing, Plastic Container and Tubing/Valve/Switches/
Connectors/Hose/Wire.

Fuse Replacement: 

The Big Bear uses a reset able GFI protected fuse box. If the GFI is tripped, check for the cause, then 
reset. If it continues contact Snow Masters customer service at 1-256-229-5551.

Hose Replacement:

Upon damaging the hose, replace it with a standard 20-foot long garden hose. A longer hose may 
affect foam output.

Electrical Wire Damage:

Snow Masters will repair all wire damage per the lifetime warranty.

General Repair:

The Snow Masters Big Bear has a lifetime warranty 

and should never require you to remove 

the electrical panel or fan guard (extreme danger).

 

Please contact Snow Masters if you have questions on its operation or warranty.

WARRANTY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED IF REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED BY 

ANYONE OTHER THAN A TRAINED FOAMMASTER TECHNICIAN.

 

Cleaning Simplified

Operating Instructions:

When you have created a desired amount of foam or emptied the container, turn off the Big Bear 
by pressing on the lower part of the “ON” switch. Always unplug the Big Bear when you are not 
supervising its operation.

5) After running the Big Bear for 30 seconds, use the adjust valve below the Big Bear. This will allow 
you to tweak the richness of the foam (wetter or dryer).  The foam should pour out from the front of 
the Big Bear and immediately drop toward the ground. Have Fun Making Foam!
