VF6b Tips and Tricks
I want a cool flickery e
ff
ect
1. While the e
ff
ect is running, bump the water channel (channel 2) on/o
ff
from the control console.
2. Water remaining in the 6b will run through and the plume will die
down.
3. Bumping the water channel on the control console will cause the
plume “flare up”.
I want a tall e
ff
ect.
1. Set the air valve on the unit to 7
2. Set the water valve on the 6b to 2-3
3. Fire the e
ff
ect
I want a low flame.
1. Set the air valve on the 6b to 5
2. Set the water valve on the 6b to 0-1
Nothing is coming out of the
nozzle.
1. Check the air supply
2. Open the air valve on the 6b. Set above “5”
3. Check to see if the air and water hoses are correctly connected to an
air and water supply
4. Set the air pressure above 40 psi
5. Check power
6. Check data/control
Air is coming out of the nozzle,
but water isn’t coming out of the
nozzle.
1. Check water supply
2. Open the water valve on the 6b
3. Check to see if the air and water hoses are correctly connected to an
air and water supply
4. Pinch your fingers over the nozzle tip sealing the output of air and
then release. This can equalize internal pressure blockages
5. Remove nozzle tip with a 12mm and 14mm wrench. Check for debris
blockage.
6. Check data/control
I am getting a plume of air/water
vapor, but it is minimal, or low
and wide.
1. Adjust the air to water ratio on the 6b. Too much air in relation to
water can cause a wide low plume
2. Check air pressure. Air pressure should be 40-70 psi. (45-50 psi Is
ideal!)
3. Remove nozzle tip with a 12mm and 14mm wrench. Check for debris
blockage.
The plume is really wet!
1. Adjust the ratio of air to water on the 6b. (Turn down the water valve
on the 6b)
The 6b lags when I try to turn it
o
ff
from the console. It doesn’t
“bump” o
ff
quickly.
1. Drain the condensation from your air compressor’s tank. Moisture
can cause the air valve to stick open.
I crossed the streams and now
the 6b won’t work
1. Don’t cross the streams!!
2. Sending water into the air hose of the 6b will damage the internal air
valve. You can try letting the unit dry out for a few hours.
3. The air valve needs to be replaced by the manufacturer.
