The casing of the Stage Fogger DMX is steel with a powder paint coating. To clean simply
wash with mild soap and warm water.
With normal use we do not recommend flushing or cleaning the heat exchanger, with the
use of genuine Le Maitre fluids. Using high quality Le Maitre fluid should result in a long
heat exchanger life. (See warranty policy later in this manual).
7. When replacing the parts ensure all mating surfaces are flat and clean to promote
good thermal conduction. Note that the hole pattern of the plates is not identical. One
of the four outer bolts is offset more than the other three. Place the larger wear plate
on the block. Place the copper tube on the wear plate. Adjust the runs of tube so they
don’t touch the bolts. Place the smaller wear plate on and set the heavy aluminum
plate on. Next add the upper steel plate while checking that the wires are not pinched
or shorted. Move the tube side to side as required to allow the squeezing plates to rest
only on the flattened area of the tube.
8. Thread the five nuts and lock washers on finger tight. Check alignment of the layers.
Tighten the center bolt down snug with a 1/2” socket. Repeat with the other four
bolts. Move to the center bolt and pull tighter by a quarter turn. This will give 5-7 foot
pounds of torque. Repeat this on the remaining four bolts.
9. Install top insulation and plug in fog machine and allow to heat up fully. Run fog
through the fog machine until it reaches its lowest output. Turn off fog and disconnest
power to unit. Remove the upper insulation and allow the unit to cool further (ap-
proximately 15 minutes), then all five bolts tighten another 1/2 turn and the thermal
couple screw until snug.
Caution: The heat exchanger is still extremely hot, care
must be taken not to burn yourself while tightening the bolts.
10. Replace the upper insulation and cover by inserting the tangs into the slots and slid the
cover forward. Fasten the cover down with the two screws.
11. Replace the jug and check the tubing is not pinched or touching the copper tubing.
12. Slide the lid into place and fasten with the eight screws.
13. Plug the machine in and allow it to come to full heat. You are now ready to fog away!
