This manual is divided generally into two sections - Operating and Maintenance Section and
Illustrated Parts Section.
The Operating and Maintenance Section contains complete instructions for assembling, installing,
operating and maintaining your CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator. No difficulty should
be encountered in following them.
Before attempting to start your unit the first time, study the complete Operation Instructions
carefully and identify all parts referred to. You will find that the operation of your CLARKE Grizzly
Cold Aerosol Fog Generator is a simple matter. However, like all mechanical equipment, your unit
requires a certain amount of maintenance.
The Maintenance Instructions will enable your CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator to
give you continuous and trouble-free service. It is highly recommended that some system be
established to assure the performance of this maintenance as its importance cannot be over-
emphasized.
Although, with proper maintenance, your unit should operate indefinitely without any trouble, there
might come a time when trouble does develop. For such an occasion, a complete Trouble Shooting
Section has been prepared and included in this manual.
The Illustrated Parts Section of the manual is made up of exploded views and parts list. Every part
of the unit is illustrated and identified with a part number. Always order parts by part number,
description and the serial number of your unit.
