Main
Features
• Airofog ULV cold fogger
operates effectively according
to ultra low volume (ULV)
method. A powerful electric
motor distributes the ne
droplets evenly over the
affected area. The droplets
remain airborne for a sufcient
time. The needle dosage
control knob allows a liquid
volume control, depending on
the viscosity level of the liquid
to be fogged.

Care &
Maintenance

20 U240 / U110
Periodically clean the liquid lter (20) and
the PP lter (29 & 29/1). Remove the lter
and rinse it with running water to remove
the clinging particles.
Avoid contamination when changing
chemicals by running the fogger with clean
water (or appropriate solvent) through unit
and rinse tank thoroughly.
Periodically check the cleanliness of the air
lter (11). If the motor does not breathe a
sufcient quantity of clean air, the fogging
operation will be inefcient and the motor
could be overheated.

Getting
Ready
Upon receipt of the ULV Cold
Fogger, remove from box and
inspect that the pieces are
accounted for and that there is
no visible damage to the fogger.
Use the correct power rating
from the identication plate.
If voltage and frequency
ratings used are beyond those
indicated, the appliance may
suffer serious damage and fail to
operate in the right way.

Operating the
Cold Fogger
• Remove the closure ring (5) and check the tank (6) is clean.
• Replace the power head (7), making sure the tank gasket (4) is
in place and return the closure ring (5) to its position.
• Pour the solution into the tank (6) then close the lling cap (8),
make sure the gasket (9) is in position.
• Before connecting the power plug (3) to a power socket, make
sure that:
• ow control knob (2) on close position
• switch (1) is set to the off position
• Aim the nozzle in the required direction and switch on the
appliance.
• Adjust ow control knob for the quantity of product to be
distributed.
• Once fogging is complete, close the control knob before switching
off the appliance.
• Disconnect the power plug from power socket.
• Remove residues of solution and empty tank, fogging with warm
water.
Prepping the Cold Fogger
Finished fogging
Make sure the power plug (3) is disconnected from the power
socket.
When using solution which creates foam, keep the foam from
penetrating into the power head (7) to damage the motor, in
any case the foam level should be kept lower than the PP lter.
Plan the job so that the fogger draws in the fog as little as
possible through its intake. We recommend starting towards
the end of your site and work your way towards the exit

Extension Hose
for U260/ U120
57
• Use the Cold Fogger with more precision and control with the
extension hose (Compatible only with U260 / U120) to reach further
distance and harder to reach areas while using less solution.
Extention Hose
Pay attention not to kink or twist the extension solution tube
that sits within the extension hose itself. (57) .

Optimizing the
Cold Fogger
• Before application, make sure you know the
required application time and
• quantity of substance to treat the area, as this will
make the job easier.
• The ideal condition for the suspension of the minute
droplets is around 250C temperature and 75% relative
humidity.
• During application, never leave the appliance
unattended.
Since a ne mist is difcult to be seen, usually it is better to calculate fogging time
and volume from the liquid ow rate rather than rely on visible indications.
An optimum distribution rate is 1.7oz of substance per minute approximately. To
establish the application time, rstly determining the total quantity of substance to
be applied, in accordance with the formula as below:
Recommendations
( m3 of area to be treated ) x ( oz of substance required for 1m3 ) = oz of substance
oz of substance
distribution in oz per minute
= distribution time in minutes
Distribution

Outdoor &
Indoor use
• The ideal application time is the cooler period of the day, e.g. early morning or
evening when insects are most active.
• The ideal wind speed is 3 to 6 mph. If the wind speed is higher than 9 mph, the
substance is quickly dispersed and is weakened on the effect, we suggest to avoid
fogging under these conditions if possible.
• The ideal direction is starting at the point upwind of the area to be treated and
keeping the nozzle downwind at chest height.
• Always move starting from the furthest corner against the exit towards the exit.
This will minimize the exposure time to the substance.
• Walk through the area to be treated slowly, taking into consideration the
application time.
• Always keep a minimum distance of 1m between the nozzle and all objects Short
bursts of mist is acceptable aimed at a suspected or contaminated area, which
should leave no traces of substance on the surfaces.
• Keep the aerosol to rest for as much time as possible, preferably 2-6 hours with
the recommended minimum time of 1 hour.
• Open the outdoors and windows to circulate the fresh air of the treated area.
