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. Follow United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
guidelines and regulations when fogging
pesticide or chemical solutions.
3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes
as well as the United States National
Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
4. Only persons well acquainted with these
rules of safe operation should be allowed to
use the atomizer.
5. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in
the work area.
6. Use of an extension cord for the Turbo XE is
not recommended. If necessary, consult a
certied electrician about use of a heavy-
gauge, grounded extension cord.
7. Before each use, inspect blade assembly
and electrical components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for
proper tightness.

Mount the fan high overhead. Allow room in front of and below the fan for the
unobstructed propulsion of fog. Rule of thumb: the higher the better, but mount
at least three feet away from any roong structures.
Mount the fan at the intake end of a ventilated structure. In structures with mild to no
ventilation, propel fog the length of the structure. In large structures, use of an oscillator greatly
enhances coverage and circulation.
DO NOT: Mount the fan near the ground or underneath tables or benches.
DO NOT: Propel the fog into the wind (direction of airow).
DO NOT: Cramp the fan in tight quarters or skinny aisle ways.

Control areaIn applications requiring only one unit, mount
the fan high, centered along one wall, with fog
propelling horizontally along the length of the
structure. If there is ventilation, mount the fan
at the intake end of the structure. Generally, no
oscillation is necessary unless the width of the
structure is greater than 20'. The best location
for automated controls is behind the fan, at an
easily accessible level for monitoring.
In large structures equipped with forced
ventilation, the rst fan row should be within a
few feet of the intake end, with rst fan:
- centered along the end wall (or)
- placed no more than 25' from the side
wall, with additional fans in the row equally
spaced no more than 50' apart.
Lengthwise, the fans should be equally spaced
no farther than 70' apart. All fans should be
equipped with oscillation, sweeping 180˚ in the
direction of the airow.

Installation With an Oscillator (Fig. 2B)
Be sure the support bar is level. Use the U-bolts (Part #125) supplied with the XE Turbo
unit to secure the oscillator to the bar.
Level the oscillator horizontally, so that the base of the oscillator housing is parallel to
the ground. The framework assembly is capable of angling fog output up to 15° upward
or downward.
Remove the nylon stop nuts (Part #32) loosely attached to the oscillator support plate.
Raise the framework assembly directly underneath the oscillator and replace the washers
and nuts. Tighten securely. Use two wrenches when tightening part #117 with part #32
to prevent stress on the oscillator's gear train - one from above to keep the bolt head
stationary and one from below to tighten the nut.
Installation without an Oscillator (Fig. 2A)
Using the U-bolts provided, secure the framework assembly to the
desired 1" support bar. Tighten securely. Support bar can be placed in
line with the fan or perpendicular to it. The second nut (Part #32) can
be secured on top of the rst nut (Part #154) to provide anti-vibration
protection and increase installation security.

Install Blade Assembly
Make a mark 1 - 11/16" (Sharpie works best) from the end of the motor shaft (see Fig. 4), and insert
the key into the slot of the motor shaft.
Slide the blade assembly onto the shaft (see Fig. 5). If you encounter resistance, DO NOT USE FORCE
Forcing the hub onto a tight shaft will only make future removal of the blade unnecessarily difcult. Use
ne sandpaper or a metal le to gently smooth down any areas of resistance, if necessary.
To ensure a fully seated Blade Assembly, the Blade's rear hub MUST reach the 1 - 11/16" mark. When the
assembly is in place, securely tighten the two (2) hub setscrews with the 1/8" T-handle allen wrench.

and shift motor and plate up or down slightly until cen-
tered. Retighten bolts securely.
Note: It is only necessary to loosen these bolts
slightly. In most cases, adjustments can be made by
loosening only the rst two bolts closest to the rear
wire guard. If additional adjustment is necessary,
repeat this step by loosening the two rear bolts.
If no vertical adjustment is required, these bolts are
already properly tightened by the manufacturer.

Locate the six cap screws set aside during preparation. (Refer to Fig. 1) Reposition the housing over the
venturi starting with the lower half of the housing. Tilt housing downward to clear the lower lip of the
venturi. Raise the rear edge of the housing between the venturi and rear guard. (See Fig. 8) Re-insert
the six cap screws through the rear guard eyelets and thread loosely to housing.
As you straighten the housing, it is important that the attached
liquid feed tube (Part #6) is inserted properly into the reservoir.
Adjust the feed tube (if necessary) so that it ends up centered and
inserted approximately 1/4" into the reservoir's center bearing.
(See Fig. 9)
Once the liquid feed tube is properly inserted, tighten the six cap
screws until snug. Do not over tighten.
Ideally the liquid feed tube should not touch the inner wall of
the bearing. However, it will not cause undue wear if the tube
lightly touches the bearing.
Note: If shifting the housing does not center the tube, it may be
necessary to slightly re-form the tube. Remove the housing and
loosen the brass cap at the base of the tube to detach the tube
and cap. Slightly re-angle tube at the bend. Re-attach the tube and
housing. Check feed tube position.
Make sure liquid feed tube enters
about 1/4" into reservoir's bronze
bushing with minimal stress.

Turn on the unit and listen for any possible abnormalities, such as the blades rubbing against the
venturi. Make re-adjustments if necessary. If no problems are detected, slowly turn the owmeter
control knob counter-clockwise until the desired output is achieved. (See Fig. 14) The uid level ball
should move up and down as adjustments are made.
If using an oscillator, check the rotational movement and be SURE THE POWER CORD HAS ENOUGH
SLACK. If there is not enough, try re-mounting the Turbo XE with the oscillator power cord falling in
line with it's motor.
Note: If desired, the unit can also be operated dry for continuous periods.
The volume of fog can be regulated by adjusting the
owmeter.
Particle size is smaller at lower outputs, so it is
better to operate the fan at a lower output for a
longer period of time.
Flowmeters maintain a more reliable ow rate if
operated high on their ow scale.
If your desired output volume is close to the
bottom of the scale, it may be benecial to
purchase a smaller owmeter or install a 5
micron sediment lter.
At the base of the owmeter is an in-line strainer
(Part #71) with a removable cap. Periodically check
inside and ush any sediment from the screen.
OPERATION
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.
CAREFULLY LISTEN FOR UNUSUAL NOISE OR VIBRATION
CAUTION
BUMP START Turbo XE 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.

1. Fan Does Not Operate
A.) Check voltage requirements on unit and electrical supply. Check for live receptacle, plug,
power line and toggle switch.
B.) Look for any loose connections inside the main motor's junction box.
2. Blades Rub Against Venturi
A.) To make a horizontal adjustment, loosen the 4 bolts (Part #56) at the base of the main
fan motor and shift motor side to side until centered. Retighten bolts.
B.) To make a vertical adjustment, slightly loosen 4 bolts (Part #117) and make necessary
adjustments. Retighten bolts.
3. Unusual Noise
A.) It is normal to hear a slight rattling noise at start-up and shut-down. This is caused by the
tip of the liquid feed tube entering the center of the fan blade assembly reservoir.
B.) Squealing at start-up or during operation may be caused by the motor shaft's bearing
seal. Spray with lubricant at the front of the motor where the shaft exits the motor's
frame.
4. No Fog
A.) If the owmeter is closed, turn the ow control knob counter-clockwise to increase fogging
output. Visually check for sediment clogs within the owmeter's body and remove inline
strainer's cap to ush any debris from screen. Refer to the maintenance section for
owmeter cleaning instructions.
B.) If the fan is automated and the water is supplied through a water solenoid, check to see if
the solenoid is electrically activated by the control and check the solenoid for clogs.
C.) If after checking both the owmeter and solenoid, you still do not have any fog, begin a
process of elimination starting with the water source. Disconnect and reconnect your
plumbing before and after each device to check for any obstructions.
5. Poor Quality Fog
A.) The liquid feed tube (Part #6) may not be inserted properly into the reservoir. The feed
tube must be inserted approximately 1/4" into the center bearing, but it should not touch
the back of the reservoir.
B.) Reservoir may be clogged. Fluid entering a clogged reservoir will spill out of the center
bearing instead of entering the passageways of the fan blades. To clean, remove the
blade assembly from the motor shaft and totally disassemble. Next, ush the reservoir
under a sink, making sure the passageways are cleared. Check and clear the pas
sageways of each individual blade as well. Reassemble and reattach.
TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE INSPECTION AND /OR SERVICE
DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT POWER SOURCE.
WARNING

16
Contact Your Sales Representative for Further Assistance.
6. Fog Slowly Decreases
If fog output gradually decreases over time, sediment is slowly clogging the owmeter's
needle valve. Try operating at a higher output or cleaning the inline strainer (Part #71). If the
problem persists, a smaller size owmeter may be required. Flowmeters perform best when
set half way up the scale or higher.
7. Fan Motor Becomes Excessively Hot
The main fan motor normally becomes very hot to the touch. However, if it gets so hot that it
begins to smell or smoke or the power cord becomes hot, discontinue operation and consult
an electrician to properly evaluate the problem.
8. Electrical Breaker Tripping
If the electrical breaker trips off, there is an overload in the system and there may be a
serious motor problem. Turn off all other devices connected to the same circuit. If the
breaker continues to trip, the motor is probably in need of repair. Consult an electrician
for evaluation.
9. Fan and/or Motor Vibration
A.) If the fan unit begins vibrating severely, rst be sure the blade assembly is fully engaged
and securely tightened on the motor shaft. Next, inspect the blade assembly, particularly
the ends of the blades. Look for wear or cracks - replace as necessary. Look for deposits
of calcium or minerals - clean and remove mineral deposits and/or calcium.
B.) If the vibration seems to be coming from the motor, rst check that the motor mounting
hardware is securely tightened. If hardware is secure, remove the blade assembly and
operate the motor without the blade. If vibration continues, the motor has a serious
mechanical problem and probably needs to be replaced.
10. Liquid Spilling From Fan Housing
If liquid builds up inside the housing, the drain tube is clogged. Clean debris from around
the drain inside the housing and ush drain tube.
11. Plumbing Leaks
Un-thread ttings and clean both the male and female threads. Apply new thread tape
(approximately 2-3 wraps) and reconnect. If a tube tting is leaking, tighten the cap - no
more than 1 turn past nger tightened. If the leak persists, replace the tube tting insert.
