be carried out by a qualified Martin service technician.

Fluid r eplacement
When the fluid level gets low, replace or refill the fluid reservoir in the rear of the
machine, ensuring that the fluid tube reaches to the bottom of the bottle.
Whenever you refill the fluid you should also empty the condensate collection
bottle (see section below).
If machine had run out of fluid, you may need to activate the Prime function using
the button on the rear of the machine to eliminate airlocks from the internal
pipework. It may be necessary to activate the Prime function twice to fully fill the
fluid lines, or more times if a remote fluid supply is used. The fluid pressure
sensor will automatically stop the priming when the machine is operational.
Cleani ng using Mar tin® Pro-Clean & Sto rage F luid
Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance Procedure: Use Martin Pro Clean and
Storage Fluid after every 200 hours of operation or monthly depending on usage
and duty cycle.
In a well ventilated area temporarily connect Martin Pro Clean and Storage Fluid
to the effect machine being serviced or fill the machine’s provided fluid reservoir.
Allow the machine to fully heat. When machine is ready activate the machine to
run continuously for 30-45 minutes; using a timer function if available. When
completed, replace cleaning fluid with appropriate low-fog fluid.
Storage Procedure: Perform the above cleaning and preventative maintenance
procedure. After procedure is completed simply run the machine until all fluid
has been visibly purged from the fluid inlet tubing to prevent leaks and seepage.
Waste Condensate collection
As the fog is cooled, condensation will form inside the machine. This condensate
is pumped into a 0.5 l reservoir at the front left corner of the machine during
normal operation every 2-minutes and when the machine is turned OFF.
You should regularly check the level in this reservoir using the illuminated sight
gauge on the front of the machine, and empty the reservoir if it becomes full.
Normally if you empty the reservoir every time you refill the low-fog fluid, this will
be sufficient.
Empty the waste condensate reservoir prior to engaging the OFF
shutdown procedure. It is possible for the shutdown procedure to
produce condensate that could overfill the reservoir if it is already
near capacity.
