TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check power supply. Toggle switch ON is up position. If using a controller,
try bypassing it and plug unit directly into a power outlet. Check for a
faulty power cord.
2. Make sure sump is properly filled with water, this takes a few minutes.
After sump is full, turn unit ON and Open flow control valve (horizontal
position is full open). Check units sump pump.
3. As fog evaporates, it becomes transparent. Dry air and propulsion
evaporates fog quickly. As humidity increases, evaporation slows and fog
becomes more apparent. A dark background helps to see the output.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
2. If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up, replace motor.
3. Sump may not be getting water fast enought. Check float valve assembly.
Check water line pressure and any kinks in water line tubing.
4. If sump and float valve checks out good, check the sump pump
electrically and mechanically, replace if needed.
5. Remove Feed Tube and ream with a small wire. Clean and reinstall.
1. Remove and clean out the rear reservoir and the blades’ passageways.
2. Adjust feed tube so its water stream flows into the blades rear reservoir.
3. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
4. If the blade can spin without motor shaft, reposition the blade and tighten
the setscrew on the flat of the shaft, replace assembly if necessary.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
2. If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up, replace motor.
3. Check controller for loose connections, test unit’s motor and controller
independently with a direct power supply for process of elimination.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
