3. Description of the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill System™
Get more bubbles for a longer period of time. The Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill is a
revolutionary new product in the bubble machine industry. Not only can your Bubble-Max
X2 Auto-Fill™ continuously produce bubbles, it can do it without the labor of having to fill
every few hours.
4. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Read and understand all labels and
operating instructions before attempting installation.
oNo user serviceable parts. Taking apart the Bubble Max Auto-Fill System™ will void
your warranty. Never open the machine without disconnecting power first!
oRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK- This device is supplied with a grounding conductor.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, connect only to properly grounded, grounding type
receptacles. Never remove the third prong from the plug.
oIf you have any doubts about the capacity or grounding of your existing circuits,
consult a qualified electrician.
oDo not operate or store in wet locations. Be sure area around the unit is dry before
applying electrical power.
oWhen operating on 230V, you must plug both the Bubble Max Auto-Fill™ machine
and Director Jr. Fan into the supplied step up / step down transformer.
oBe aware that the bubble fluid is very slippery. If the machine is mounted near the
floor, bubbles breaking there will make a smooth floor slick.
5.Operating the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill System™
5.1 Selecting The Location
Secure a level, dry location for the stand to rest solidly on the floor or hang suspended.If
suspending the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™, you must use a safety cable. Make sure that
your Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ is pointed in a direction that leaves an open area out in
front so that the bubbles can fly without restriction. Ensure the front of the machine is not
directed towards anything that could cause a hazardous or unsafe environment.
5.2 Electrical Power Requirements
The Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ requires a grounded 120V circuit for operation. For 230V
operation, you must have use a step up / step down voltage transformer to convert the
voltage to 120V, and both the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ machine and the 3-Speed
Director Jr.™ Fan must be plugged into the voltage transformer. The Bubble-Max X2
Auto-Fill™ uses a 1 amp fuse, which can be replaced. If you have any doubts about the
capacity or grounding of your existing circuits, consult a qualified electrician.

5.3 Hooking Things Up
• Connect the smaller diameter 6mm tubing to the fitting labeled “INTAKE” by pushing it
in securely. Connect the larger diameter 10mm tubing to the fitting labeled “DRAIN” by
pushing it in securely. If using an attached fluid container, it must not rest higher than the
machine. The drain tube must drain into a container which is lower than the machine.
Place the included anti-skid material on the top of the stand. Lower the Bubble-Max X2
Auto-Fill™ machine so it lays perpendicular to the top of the stand.
• If this is a hanging system, slide hanging bracket over Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™
and attach to through bolt. Attach bolt, nut and washers onto both sides of hanging
bracket and tighten. Attach c-clamp with washer and split washer. Wrap rubber strap
around 3-Speed Director Jr.™ Fan. Use included zip-tie to attach rubber strap securely
around the center support of the fan. Center the Director Jr.™ Fan onto the front edge of
the stand. Use another zip-tie to tighten the front of the Director Jr.™ Fan to the front
edge of the stand. Using two more zip-ties, attach each end of the rubber strap to the
sides of the stand. Make certain the zip-ties are tight.
• If this is a non-hanging system, use the included black rubber strap to strap the
Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ machine onto the stand. Place the 3-Speed Director Jr.™
Fan underneath the stand. Adjust the fan to create the desired effect.
5.4 Operation
•Fill the fluid reservoir in front of the unit until the wand is covered. Be aware the
machine has a second reservoir inside that is filling to the same level.
•Turn on the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ machine using the large illuminated power switch.
•To operate both wands, the smaller black switch should be in the “I” position. To operate
using a single wand, the switch must be placed in the “0” position.
•Do Not allow the pump to run dry. Doing so can ruin the pump and void your
warranty.
5.5 Cleaning
You must clean your machine every 10 days to maintain ideal bubble production.
In hot or dry conditions the bubble fluid can evaporate even quicker. This can leave a
residue behind on the wand wheel, reservoirs and pump that can hinder the operation of
your machine. Follow this cleaning schedule to keep your Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™
running efficiently.
•Unplug the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™ from the electrical power source.
•Tilt the machine forward to slowly pour the bubble fluid from the front reservoir.If you tip
the machine too far, the fluid in the rear reservoir may spill over.
•Insert the 6mm tube from the “INTAKE” fitting into a gallon+ of warm water. Place the
10mm tube from the “DRAIN” fitting into a separate container. This container must sit
below the drain fitting for the water to drain properly. The capacity of this container must
equal the amount of warm water being placed into the Bubble-Max X2 Auto-Fill™.
•Run one or two gallons of warm water through the Bubble Max in this manner.
•CAUTION: Allowing the pump to run without water or bubble fluid will void your warranty.
