GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FOGGER
A dry fog is recommended. The dryer the fog the smaller the particles. Dryness of fog is controlled
by the rate of fl ow of chemical through the heating chamber. This rate of fl ow is controlled by turning the
adjustment knob clockwise for a dry fog, counterclockwise for a wetter fog. Wet fog deposits a fi lm or
residue. This eff ect may be desired on trash cans, pavements, or building foundations.
Never use wet fog on
plants, shrubs or carpeting where the oily residue could have damaging eff ects.
Keep the fogger about
10 feet away from the area being treated and let the fog drift in the desired direction. At this distance, any
non-vaporized particles of chemical will settle to the ground.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Except as provided below, use outdoors only. Fire or explosion may occur if used in confi ned area.
• Barrel is hot when plugged in. Allow to cool before touching .
• Never secure trigger in a permanent “ON” position. Overheating may occur.
• Release trigger immediately if a fl ame occurs in the barrel.
• Do not fog near combustible materials.
• Fog produced is fl ammable. Do not fog near open fl ames such as gas burner or pilot light.
• Fog produced may be toxic. Do not fog around food, eating utensils, humans, pets or
animals. DO NOT INHALE FOG.
• Use only 3-wire, 10, 12 or 14-gauge extension cord, suitable for outdoor usage. Never
defeat grounding feature. Failure to comply may result in electrical shock and /or fi re.
• Always unplug fogger when not in use. Never leave unattended.
• The use of other insecticides or chemical may damage your fogger and could result in unsafe
conditions. Use only oil base chemicals formulated for thermal fogging.
CAUTION
• Before operating - Read Instruction Manual.
• Follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Examine extension and unit cord before each usage for signs of degrading. Do not use if damaged.
• Do not have lighted materials, such as cigarettes, in area while fi lling or using fogger.
HOW AND WHY FOGGING WORKS
At the touch of the trigger, an electric pump forces liquid through a brass atomizing nozzle
into a thermostatically controlled heating chamber in the barrel. The chemical is vaporized instantly, and a
cloud of fog surges out of the barrel. The secret of fogging’s success lies in its ability to reduce chemical into
microscopic particles averaging 15 microns in diameter (a micron measures 1/25,000 an inch). By contrast,
mist droplets range from 50 to 125 microns and spray droplets more than 125 microns. The tiny particle size
allows the fog to spread and penetrate area being treated.
