MOUNTING/HANGING THE HABBA MIST
®
:
THE HABBA MIST® CAN BE MOUNTED ON TERRARIUMS, CAGES, OR
AVIARIES USING THE FOLLOWING METHODS:
Adjustable Mounting Hooks:
The most secure method for mounting the
HABBA MIST®
is to use the attached Adjustable Mounting Hooks. Rotate the
hooks toward the sides of the
HABBA MIST®
to disengage the locks and
move the hooks up or down to the desired location. After the desired location
is selected, rotate the hooks parallel to each other to lock them in position.
The unit may now be hung from the top rim of your terrarium, or the wires of
your cage or aviary. If the
HABBA MIST®
is mounted outside of the terrarium
or cage, the Remote Sprayer attachment must be used (see “Sprayer
Options” for instructions). When using the
HABBA MIST®
with bird cages or
aviaries, the
HABBA MIST®
must be mounted on the outside of the cage or
aviary to prevent birds from chewing or tampering with the unit. The Remote
Sprayer Attachment can be used, or the Rotating Sprayer Cap can be rotated
to allow the
HABBA MIST®
to spray through the wires of bird cages
or aviaries.
Suction Cup Mounting: The
HABBA MIST®
comes with four Suction Cups
which can be used to attach the unit to the glass walls of your terrarium. The
Suction Cups will enable you to mount the
HABBA MIST®
lower than the
Adjustable Mounting Hooks would allow in very tall terrariums. Replacement
Suction Cups are available through the “Store” section of Zoo Med’s website.
FILLING WITH WATER:
To fill the
HABBA MIST’s®
water reservoir, remove
the Reservoir Cap and fill the reservoir with water. For
best results, use distilled or bottled water to prevent
lines and fittings from becoming clogged with “hard
water” deposits. The capacity of the reservoir is 28
fluid ounces. Be sure not to overfill the reservoir. After
filling, replace the reservoir cap.
NOTE:
The use of tap water in the
HABBA MIST®
is
not recommended. If you do use tap water, be sure to
add
ReptiSafe®
Instant Terrarium Water Conditioner
to remove chlorine, chloramines, and ammonia.
SPRAYER OPTIONS:
There are two sprayer options for spraying mist into your terrarium,
cage, or aviary:
Rotating Sprayer Cap:
To use the Main Spray Nozzle located on the Rotating
Sprayer Cap, close the Remote Sprayer Valve by turning the star-shaped knob
clockwise located near the black rubber plug on the back of the Rotating
Sprayer Cap. Open the Main Spray Nozzle located on the front of the Rotating
Sprayer Cap by turning counter-clockwise. Adjust the spray pattern
as desired.
Remote Sprayer Attachment:
When mounting the
HABBA MIST®
outside of your terrarium, use the Remote Sprayer Attachment.
To use, you will need to turn off the Main Spray Nozzle on the front of the Rotating Sprayer Cap by turning the nozzle clockwise
until it stops. Next, open the Remote Sprayer Valve by turning the star-shaped knob counter-clockwise located near the black
rubber plug on the back of the Rotating Sprayer Cap. Remove the black rubber plug and insert the Remote Sprayer Hose into the
hole. Run the Remote Sprayer Hose and Nozzle to the desired location inside your terrarium. Attach the hose to an appropriate
object (e.g., wood branch, plastic plant, etc.) using the clip provided. Open the Remote Sprayer Nozzle by turning counter-
clockwise. Adjust the spray pattern as desired.
NOTE:
The Remote Sprayer Nozzle must always be positioned above the
HABBA MIST®
main unit to prevent a siphon from occurring and draining the reservoir.
