voltage of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz, depending on the specific model.
To determine the product’s power requirements (
circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product
’s back panel, or
refer to the product
’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
•Always connect the product to a protected circuit
(circuit breaker or fuse).
Make sure the product
has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk
of electrocution or fire.
•To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan,
during periods of
non-
use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by
unplugging it.
Never connect the product to
a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Mounting
Before mounting the product
, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes.
Orientation
This product may not be tilted. This product should only be mounted/used on a
level surface.
Rigging
•Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product
for maintenance and fluid replenishment.
•Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product
can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications).
•When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable.
Mount the
product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.
•When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of

appropriate
for this purpose.
•The rubber feet also serve as floor supports and allow for
surface mounting. When
mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away
from people and vehicles.
Mounting Diagram

5.TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Fogger
Maintenance
Do not allow the fogger to become clogged. After every 40
hours of continuous
operation, use CHAUVET®
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the
accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine.
3. Add cleaning solution to the tank.
4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow
the pump to run dry.
6. Refill with fogger fluid to continue using the fogger. Run the machine briefly to clear
any remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
Do Not operate the machine without fluid at any time.
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean your
Hurricane™ 1000. Make sure you use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days
between cleanings, to increase the life of your product.
Storage
Before storing the fogger, run FCQ through the system as described in the cleaning
procedure above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5
. Do not refill the tank with
fog fluid if storing the fogger.
Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent
any particles from condensing inside the pump or heater while not in use.
Test-run your Hurricane™ 1000
on a monthly basis to achieve the best
performance.
