Preventing electric shocks
•
Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.
•
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.
•
Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage
indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power
voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the
machine. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.
•
Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
•
If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,
defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and
contact Martin Service and Support for assistance. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
•
Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not
in use.
•
This machine is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet
outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not
expose to high-pressure water jets.
•
Do not spill low- fog fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled,
disconnect AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto
electronic parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin
Service and Support for advice.
•
Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any
service not described in this manual to Martin Service and Support.
•
Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
•
Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim low-fog output at
electrical connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
•
Low-fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point low-fog output at sources of
ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
•
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
•
Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
•
Provide a minimum free space of 60 cm (24 in.) around the machine.
•
Ensure free and unobstructed airflow to and around the machine. If in a
confined space, ensure a supply of cool external air.
•
Keep the machine at least 60 cm (24 in.) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
•
Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 35° C (95° F).
•
Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
•
This machine must be operated horizontally on the floor only. Do not use
the bumper bars / lifting handles as rigging attachment points. The unit
should not be used overhead.
