1. The fog machine must be connected to a grounded supply of at least 15 amps   
    free of any electrical interference. Due to the heavy loads minimize length and 
    maximize size of extension cords.

2. Open a 4L or 20 Litre (5 Gallon) container of Ultratec Special Effects fog fluid and  
     insert the fluid pickup tube into the spout of the fluid container. 

3. With the Optional Remote Handset connected to the rear panel labeled Remote 
    or by watching the green LED located on the rear panel allow the unit to heat. 
    (When using DMX the Remote is not required).

4. Activate the Power switch located on the rear panel. The green LED on the back of the 9D  and   
    Handset indicator will illuminate to indicate the presence of power. If the Handset 
    indicator does not illuminate, ensure the connector is properly inserted.

5. The Handset indicator and the green LED on the back of the 9D will begin to flash slowly, but will 
    speed up when the fog machine is ready to operate. After approximately 9 minutes, the fog machine 
    will be fully heated and is ready for full output; the indicator will be on solid.

6. It may be necessary to prime fluid into the system to expel any air. The Variflow control on the 
    remote handset should be set to the full position. A dry hose can take between 
    45-60 seconds to prime. This only needs to be done if the unit was left to run dry.

NOTE: 

In order to prime the fog machine, the green LED on the back of the 9D or red Handset LED    

              must be on solid, which indicates that the fog machine is fully heated.

7. To adjust the depth of the hose, simply loosen Nut ‘A’ and slide up or down the hose and 
     retighten. Be careful not to pinch off the flow of fluid.

Operating Procedure

A) Mount the Regulator Bracket to a wall or other secure
     location with the condensate trap hanging down.

B) Attach the female coupler to the male coupler of the
     Power Fog Industrial w/ Air Option or Power Fog Industrial
    9D w/ Air Option.

C) Attach the air hose to the male coupler of the mounted
     regulator.

 D) Adjust for the desired air pressure (typically 25-50 psi).
