Running Dry
Do not allow the machine to run dry of fluid. If the machine does run out of fluid it will stop producing
smoke and the green Ready Indicator light will indicate a Fluid Out condition with a fast double-flash.
In order to reset the Fluid Out condition, power cycle the machine by turning the Main Power Switch
off, wait 5 seconds, and then turn the Main Power Switch back on. After inserting the tube in a new
bottle of smoke fluid, you will need to prime the machine to remove airlocks in the fluid pipework of
the machine.
Priming the System
To prime the machine, turn the Fog Level Knob to Zero, then hold down the Fog Button and turn the
knob to maximum. Keep the button held until the smoke output is strong and steady. Then turn the
Fog Level knob back to the required output level and release the Fog Button.
Powering Down
After use, allow the machine to sit for several minutes before switching the Main Power Switch to off.
Turning off the power switch during smoke production can cause damage to the heat exchanger. Allow
machine to cool completely before packing or storing. Note: The nozzle of the machine may remain hot for
up to 10 hours after power is shut off.
If the machine will be unused for an extended period of time, follow the Storage and Shipment instructions
listed under Maintenance to prepare the machine for long-term storage.
DUCTING SMOKE
It is often desirable to duct smoke from the machine to another location. This can be accomplished using
flexible hose (“dryer hose”) or similar large diameter ducting such as 4in (100mm) PVC. Avoid sharp bends
in the duct, which can create turbulence or back flow.
The duct should be positioned no closer than 2in (50mm) to the nozzle. An open airflow between the
nozzle and opening of the duct is crucial to allow for aerosolization and create proper airflow. Placing
ductwork or tubing directly over the nozzle or nozzle guard will cause damage to the machine and will
void the warranty. Take all precautions to avoid fire hazards as the nozzle is extremely hot.
In some instances, it is desirable to use a fan to accelerate the smoke through the ductwork. Never
run smoke through the blades of a fan as the action of the impeller will cause condensation of fluid
particles. To properly use a fan, create a vent in the ducting system such as a and introduce a fan at the
vent point. This will create a low pressure point that “pulls or pushes” the smoke through the ductwork.
