machine you will dazzle and entertain audiences in large or small venues. Your Big Bear 

Foam Machine is manufactured with many features, but at the same time it is very easy 

to use.

The Big Bear is a recreational foam generator used for creating an entertaining environment for 
parties, nightclubs, and fun special effects. Its sleek design makes it a popular appliance for years 
and years of foam making. The Big Bear will produce large quantities of foam in a short period of 
time (10-20 minutes), so there is fun for all as soon as the Big Bear is activated.

CAUTION: YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE OPERATING 

THE Big Bear Foam Machine.

The Big Bear is an electric product and not a toy. Adult supervision is continuously necessary to 
avoid the risk of electric shock or personal Injury. 

It should not be operated or placed where 

small children can reach it.

 Always keep fingers away from the fan guard and never remove 

the guard or the electronic enclosure cover. Children should also always stay away from the solution 
container at all times to minimize the risk of shock or drowning.

The Big Bear generates a layer of foam on every surface that obscures ground vision and can 
cause slipping. Always prepare your foaming area using a flat surface free of obstructions, such as 
steps, standing water, cables, ledges, electronic equipment, rocks, toys, and sharp objects before 
generating foam. 

Never place the pump in water or remove the pump from the water while the Big Bear is plugged 
into an electronic socket. 

Always use a plastic container to hold solution.

Do not run the Big Bear while the solution container has a water or solution level lower than 1/8”.  
Never use water with a temperature greater than 104 Degrees F.  Never use any ingredient in your 
solution container other than water and/or your Snow Master’s foam solution. If you do not follow 
these directions, the pump and Big Bear can be damaged.

Always operate the Big Bear on a dry, level surface. The cables and hose should be routed so that 
pedestrian traffic cannot trip over the cable or hose.

Never leave the Big Bear unattended while operating. Do not operate it in the rain or in standing 
water. Do not place the Big Bear within 10 ft (3 meters) of a swimming pool, steps, or a ledge 
without a guardrail.

Use Caution when adjusting the vertical aim of the Big Bear nozzle, since it may rotate freely when 
unlocked and contact (injuring) someone underneath the cone.

Always use an outlet with an earth grounding receptacle and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI).

Never use this product for any activity other than for what it is intended.
