General Operation:
The Low Lying fog machine works on the principle of ‘What is Hot rises (Think of a Hot Air Balloon)
and what is cold sinks…… therefore best effects are created in a warm environment where the ice in the
machine cools the smoke to below room temperature.
The machine allows 2 bags of domestic Ice (available at all good supermarkets) to be put into the Ice
Hopper (picture 5) - please make sure they are removed from the plastic bag supplied in so the fog can
circulate around the loose ice.
The container is insulated and once filled should not be opened until the machine is finished with that day.
After some time the Ice will melt and turn to water. This must be emptied daily and
MUST
be fully drained
BEFORE
the machine is put in the flightcase and hire is returned.
Draining:
Either use the drainage tap (picture 6) or simply tilt the machine forward using the rear handle, so that the
water can flow out of the nozzle where the smoke comes out of on the front of the machine.
Removal of Machine from Flightcase:
This can be tricky as the machine fits snuggly into the case. It is best to lift the
machine by the rear handle AND at the same time by the knobs on the front
used to secure the Hopper lid. Once lifted up a little it is possible to rest it on
the lip of the flightcase and then lift out from there.
