3. Description of the LITTLE BLIZZARD® XT
The LITTLE BLIZZARD® XT is CITC’s most popular evaporating snow effect product.
Insulated for quietness, you can have optional soundproofing in the SP (soundproof)
model. The unit incorporates a volume control to adjust pump output and flake size, and
also a two-speed fan control. It can run continuously without overheating. Flakes fly 15-
20 feet. A remote with 25ft (7.6m) cable is included, which controls On/Off and fluid pump
volume. 5-pin DMX comes standard in this model.
4.Safety instructions
WARNING: Read and understand all labels and operating instructions
before attempting installation.
Never open the machine as this could void your warranty!
Risk 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.
Depending on type of voltage ordered, this machine requires a 120V/20Amp circuit or a
230V/10Amp circuit for operation. The LITTLE BLIZZARD® XT has a 10amp slo-blo fuse
on the 120v model (5 amp fuse on the 230VAC unit). During operation this circuit should
be dedicated to the LITTLE BLIZZARD® XT. If you have any doubts about the capacity
or grounding of your existing circuits, consult a qualified electrician.
Be sure area around snow machine is dry before applying electrical power.
Make sure that your unit is pointed in a direction that leaves at least a 10ft (3m) open
area out in front. Place the front of the machine away from direct contact with electrical
instruments and people.
Fluid is very slippery when spilled. Care in keeping any drips or spills cleaned up is
necessary.
