OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Fogging Solution
Dilute fogging chemical as required, mixing
enough solution for your application. Twist tank
counter-clockwise 90° to remove power head. Add
liquid and replace power head, making sure tank
gasket is in place.
Connect to Electric Source
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
If you need a longer power cord, we recommend
a garden-type extension cord. Do not use one that
is cut, frayed or otherwise damaged. To prevent
accidental unplugging, knot the two cords as
shown, or use a cord retainer available at many hardware stores at
modest cost.
Operation
Slide the power switch to the “on” position. A fine mist will form. Adjust
the control knob for the droplet size desired for your work. The
Fogmaster jr can produce a range of droplet sizes, from relatively
coarse ones which settle quickly to fine fog particles which can float a
long distance.
The control knob also regulates the liquid flow rate. After setting the
droplet size, you can calculate the liquid flow rate by timing how long it
takes to dispense a measured amount of liquid.
If possible, make your application in still air. Otherwise, your chemical
may be blown off target. Use an even sweeping motion, making certain
to cover the entire target area. Do not over-apply. Since a fine mist is
difficult to see, it is usually better to calculate fogging time and volume
from the liquid flow rate than to rely on visible indications.
When finished fogging, remove and empty tank. Open control knob
and run unit a few seconds to discharge any liquid remaining in internal
lines. If you have been fogging liquids containing solids or polymers
likely to accumulate, flush residues from internal lines by running unit
with clean water (or the appropriate solvent) briefly.
