deScription
Aquafog CRSM mobile units are intended to condition
large volumes of air by atomizing chemical and water
mixtures in air temperatures between 31º and 145ºF.
Any other use of these units will void the warranty
and the manufacturer will not be responsible for
problems or damages resulting from misuse.

11. If the equipment starts to vibrate abnormally,
STOP the motor and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally an indication
of trouble.
Fogging Precautions
DANGER
A motionless atomizer may
appear safe, but its blade
could suddenly begin high-
speed rotation without
warning as a result of
control programming.
When the CRSM is automated by controls,
warning signs should be posted near the high-
speed equipment.
Disconnect and lock out power source to inspect
or service the unit.
General Safety
Since the mobile CRSM uses high-speed
components to atomize liquids, the following safety
precautions must be observed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product. Be familiar
with the product and controls.
2. The CRSM is intended to be
used on level ground. Test for stability before
operation.
3. Follow United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) guidelines and regulations when
fogging pesticide or chemical solutions.
4. Follow all local electrical and safety codes
as well as the United States National
Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
5. Only persons well acquainted with these rules
of safe operation should be allowed to use the
atomizer.
6. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in
the work area.
7. Use of an extension cord for the CRSM
is not recommended. If necessary, refer
to the A.W.G chart in the following section or
consult a certied electrician.
8. Before each use, inspect blade assembly
and electrical components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
9. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for
proper tightness.
10. Keep ngers away from a running unit; fast
moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or
burns.
MOTORS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, AND
CONTROLS CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL
ARCS THAT WILL IGNITE FLAMMABLE
LIQUID OR GAS. NEVER OPERATE
OR REPAIR IN OR NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUID OR GAS.
NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR GASES IN THE
VICINITY OF THE ATOMIZER.
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
CHEMICAL VAPORS
12. Avoid exposure to
hazardous chemicals. Wear a
respirator and protective
clothing: goggles, gloves, long
sleeves and pants, etc.
13. Read and understand all directions and safety
precautions before operating CRSM. Follow all
E.P.A. guidelines for chemical/pesticide use.
14. NO humans or animals should be in the area
during chemical/pesticide application.
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR!
15. Follow chemical manufacturer's
instructions regarding length of restricted
entry interval (REI).
NEVER OPERATE CRSM
WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD
IN PLACE UNLESS THE UNIT IS RAISED SEVEN FEET
ABOVE WORKING HEIGHT.
WARNING
WARNING
DANGER
HIGH-SPEED ROTATION

► Un-crate carefully and position CRSM on
level ground.
► Save crate and packing materials until
evaluation and testing are complete.
► Read manual carefully and understand all
instructions.
► Do not connect power until after thorough
inspection and lling the sump with liquid.
► After lling the unit with some liquid, inspect
for leaks.
► Never operate without liquid in tank.
► Be sure guards are securely in place and
warnings are clearly visible.
► Check power supply for correct voltage.

Unit preparation
ENSURE THE BLADE ASSEMBLY
IS FREE & CLEAR FOR
START-UP (HIGH-SPEED ROTATION).
WARNING
Adjustment Pin
The CRSM is equipped with a four position pivoting
fogging head with 15º intervals up to 45º (see Fig. 1)
Propelling the fog upward allows more time for the
particles to evaporate, keeping oor areas drier.
When making an adjustment, support the weight of
the fogging head off of the pin for easy removal.
Locate a level, stable
area to place the
CRSM. If there's a
slight grade, blocking
the wheels may be
necessary to keep unit
secure.
Visually check to
make sure the fan
blades can rotate
freely. There should
be approximately 1/4"
space between the
venturi pins and the
blades.

evaluation/ controlS/ inStallation
BEFORE TESTING FAN MAKE SURE ALL OBJECTS ARE OUT OF THE
ROTATION PATH OF THE FAN BLADES.HIGH-SPEED WARNING. KEEP HANDS
CLEAR! MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE INSTALLED OR UNIT IS OUT OF REACH.
DANGER
► For rst-time evaluation, ll tank (with water only) about quarter full.
► Connect to power supply.
► BUMP START CRSM and check for proper fan blade rotation (clockwise if looking at front of unit). If incorrect,
nd rotation connection changes on the motor's electrical schematic.
► Turn on the unit and listen for any possible abnormalities, such as the blades rubbing against the
venturi or any objects. Make re-adjustments if necessary.
► Evaluate fog quality adjusting the output by using the ow control valve. (See Fig. 2).
After starting, it generally takes several seconds for the liquid to reach the atomizing fan.
The volume of fog can be regulated by adjusting the Flow Control
Valve. (See Fig. 2)
Particle size is smaller/drier at lower outputs, so it is wise to
operate the unit at a lower output for longer periods of time rather
than high outputs for short periods of time.
At the base of the plumbing is an in-line strainer with a removable
cap. Occasionally check inside and ush any sediment from the
screen.
The Hose Connection is used to supply fresh water to the unit and is
controlled by an internal oat valve assembly.

Back Controls
A) Manual Treatment
Fast / Easy setup. Simply
ll the unit's tank with pre-
mixed chemical concentrated.
Wettable powders can be used
if kept well stirred.
B) Dosing with Feed Pump
Can be arranges if using liquid
concentrated product. A feed
pump will provide accurate ow
rate of chemical product.
Setup
A timer should be used to turn off the
CRSM at the appropriate time. If a
Metering Pump is installed it should be
controlled by the timer.
Water Connection
Optional connection port for a feed pump.
Dosing concentrated liquid chemical product
into the stream of fresh water traveling to
the fogging head.
