• Disconnect from electric mains power supply when not in use,
when filling the fluid tank, or when changing a fuse. Keep unit
dry. If moisture or liquids enter the faze machine case, immediately
disconnect power supply. Contact a service technician to determine
safety for use.
• Keep machine in flat position, never put it in tilted place.
• Before moving the machine, always drain fog fluid and tighten the
tank cap securely to avoid spilling.
• Without user-serviceable parts in the package, please contact your

1. Check the power supply. Plug the unit into grounded electric power
supply socket with proper voltage.
2. Disconnect the machine from electric power supply. Replace fuse
with one of the same type.
3. Keep sufficient fluid in tank.
4. Check if pump is working (with fluid flow or not).
5. Check if the heater is heating (touch the panel to see if it is
warming).
6. Check your controller if in correct connection.
7. Check your DMX address setting.
Troubleshooting
Power Connected, Fog Blasts not Smooth:
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a
solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out
following steps. If the problem persists, refer servicing to a qualified
technician.
Moving the machine during operation could probably get air entered
into the liquid pipe and affect smoothness of fog blasts. If this
happened, press START/STOP button to fog for a moment. Until the
air is dispersed from the pipe, the machine will recover its normal
fogging.
Should there be any low fog emitted, running noisily or hindered
fogging, pull out the plug immediately. Check if string enough fluid,
if the pipe connected to the tank is clean, if there’s air inside the pipe,
if the liquid flows, if not, plug-in again; still persists abnormal running,
and If causation is unclear, stop running to avoid any damage, shut
down to cool it, and bring unit to your local agent or appointed
service place for inspection, prohibit any dismantlement by yourself.
Power Connected but No Faze is Emitted:

16
©Copyright LOTRONIC 2018
Before doing maintenance, please make sure that the power is cut,
the power cord is unplugged, and the machine itself has cooled down.
The maintenance must be done by qualified person.
1. The fluid is not allowed to get dirty. Be sure to always clean or
replace the caps on the tank (Replace the caps on the tank directly.
This kit includes quick connector, cap, pipe and filter) and tight the
cover of the faze machine tank immediately after filling.
Flashing and showing this status, means
heater is too hot or thermo sensor is cut;
Flashing and showing this status, means
unable heating;
Flashing and showing this status, means fluid
runs out or pumping no fluid; at this moment,
speed of the fan will reduce to minimum, and
pump will stop working.
Heater Overheat
No Heating
No Fluid
• If uid is run out, full the tank with uid and press START/STOP to reset.
Very Important:
Please do not pull out the power suddenly when the machine is
in normal faze condition.

2. Prolonged use, the nozzle may be clogging by impurities,
periodically use tools to clean the nozzles, keep the nozzle
unobstructed.
3. Prolonged use, flight case side air filter can accumulate dust,
periodically remove the flight case side cover and remove the air
filter to do the cleaning, after cleaning, be sure to dry the air filter
after replacing the flight case again.
4. Prolonged use, sponge inside the vent may accumulate oil,
periodically cleaned out or replaced with a new sponge.
Be sure to dry the air filter after
replacing the flight case again!

5. Periodically check the connections among the oil tube, the pump
and the heater to see if there’s oil leaking. If positive,locktightthe
connections carefully with proper tool.
6. PC boardshould be keptfrom being dirtied with oil.
In casethis happened, dismantle carefully the PCB, and have it
brushed cleanboth sides with dilute alcohol. Leaveitdry itself,
then install it back. Make sure all wires are well connected..
7. Clean the metal cover with dry cloth.
