M45AU OVERVIEW
•THE M45AU MIST CANNON HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED AND ALL FUNCTIONS TESTED IN OUR WORKSHOP.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS CAREFULLY INSPECTED AFTER DELIVERY AS THINGS MAY HAVE
CHANGED DURING TRANSPORT.
•EACH UNIT IS FITTED WITH A TRAVEL LATCH THAT NEEDS TO BE RELEASED BEFORE USE AND RE-AT-
TACHED BEFORE THE UNIT IS TRANSPORTED. IF YOUR UNIT HAS A TRAVEL PIN, SAME AS ABOVE
MAKE SURE THE PIN IS REMOVED AND FITTED IN THE STORAGE HOLE DIRECTLY BELOW. THEN RE-
INSTALLED BEFORE THE UNIT IS TRANSPORTED.
•THE FOG CANNON HAS A 1200L ALUMINIUM WATER TANK. THE TANK HAS A 3" CAMLOCK FILL POINT
ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. A WATER-LEVEL GAUGE IS LOCATED BESIDE THE FILL POINT WHICH WILL
SHOW THE TANK WATER LEVEL. THERE IS A 2" CAMLOCK FITTING ON THE LOWER CORNER OF THE
UNIT FOR DRAINING THE SYSTEM.
•A FLOAT SWITCH MONITORS THE WATER LEVELS, A RED LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE OPERA-
TIONS PANEL AND THE PUMP WILL TURN OFF WHEN WATER LEVELS GET TOO LOW.
•THE LARGE FAN ON TOP WILL THROW MIST OVER 45 METERS IN STILL CONDITIONS AND HAS THE
ABILITY TO OSCILLATE LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CANNON CAN BE RAISED ALLOWING FOR ACCURATE
TARGETING FOR THE MIST APPLICATION.
•A HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP OPERATES AT 1000PSI OR 70BAR AND MOVES 18 LITRES OF HIGH-PRES-
SURE MIST PER MINUTE. THE HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP IS INSTALLED IN THE TURRET BOX AND IS EAS-
ILY ACCESSIBLE FOR SERVICING.
•THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED TANK WATER BY THE TRANSFER PUMP FITTED IN THE LOWER BOX IN THE
REAR OF THE UNIT.
•DUAL FILTERS ARE FITTED TO THE SIDE OF THE TURRET BOX, EACH HOUSING CONTAINS ONE 10-MI-
CRON AND ONE 5-MICRON FILTER. MAKING SURE TO CHECK THESE REGULARLY, ESPECIALLY IF
WORKING WITH POOR WATER QUALITIES.
•POWER FOR THE ENTIRE UNIT COMES FROM THE FITTED 16KVA 3 PHASE MAKINEX GENERATOR
WITH HONDA ELECTRIC START ENGINE. THE GENERATOR IS SECURED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK BY
TWO RODS THAT LOCK IT DOWN INTO PLACE. THE GENERATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH 1 X 3PHASE PLUG
AND 2 X 250V 15A PLUGS.
•THE MAIN CONTROL PANEL HAS SWITCHES TO CONTROL ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF
THE SYSTEM. THE M45AU UNIT ALSO INCLUDES A FULLY FUNCTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL UNIT, THIS
REMOTE CAN BE USED UP TO 100 METERS AWAY FROM THE CANNON.
•FLASHING LIGHTS ARE FITTED TO THE FRONT ANO THE REAR OF THE TANK UNIT. THESE WILL ACTI-
VATE WHEN THE GENERATOR IS SWITCHED ON.

STARTUP PROCEDURE
BEFORE STARTING IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK NOT LIMITED TO THE
FOLLOWING ITEMS:
• PLACE THE CANNON ON A FLAT SURFACE.
• DISENGAGE THE TRAVEL LATCH FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CANNON.
• CHECK THAT THE FAN SPINS WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTION.
• CHECK THAT ALL 60 NOZZLES ARE IN PLACE AND FIRM.
• SLIDE THE HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP OUT OF THE TURRET BOX AND CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AS SHOW
BELOW.
BEFORE STARTING
• CHECK FUEL LEVEL IN THE GENERATOR.
• ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT WATER IN THE TANK.
• IF YOU WISH TO USE THE REMOTE MAKE SURE THAT THE ANTENNA AND REMOTE HAVE BEEN RE-
MOVED FROM THE CONTROL PANEL AND ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.
• ENSURE THAT THE 32A PLUG IS CONNECTED TO THE GENERATOR AND TURNED ON.

OPERATION MANUAL M45 MIST CANNON

STARTUP
•OPEN THE CHOKE ON THE GENERATOR AND TURN THE KEY. WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS CLOSE THE
CHOKE.
• USE THE UP & DOWN SWITCH TO RAISE THE POSITION OF THE CANNON.
• USE THE LEFT & RIGHT SWITCH TO MANUALLY POSITION THE CANNON.
• SWITCH THE FAN ON AND WAIT APPROX 15 SECONDS FOR THE FAN TO WIND UP TO FULL SPEED.
• TURN THE MIST SWITCH TO ITS ON POSITION.
• ONCE YOU HAVE MIST OBSERVE THE MISTING RING TO CHECK THAT EACH NOZZLE IS MISTING.
•NOW THAT THE M45AU IS OPERATING YOU CAN CHOOSE TO EITHER TARGET THE CANNON MANU-
ALLY USING THE FAN UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT OR SET THE CANNON TO OSCILLATE AUTOMATICALLY.
•TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL FIND THE REMOTE SWITCH ON THE CONTROL PANEL AND TOGGLE
THIS FROM MANUAL TO REMOTE. YOU WILL SEE THE GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATE. YOU CAN NOT CON-
TROL THE CANNON FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL AT UP TO 100 METERS AWAY.
AFTER USE & TRANSPORT
OUR CANNONS ARE INCREDIBLY EASY TO MOVE TO AND FROM OR AROUND THE WORKSITE. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN YOU ARE PACKING DOWN YOUR MACHINE AFTER
OPERATING. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR MACHINE IS READY TO BE USED DAY IN DAY OUT.
AFTER USE PROCEDURE
•CENTRE THE CANNON OVER THE GENERATOR AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CANNON IS LOWERED ALL
THE WAY DOWN INTO ITS CRADLE.
• ENGAGE THE TRAVEL LATCH SO THAT THERE CAN BE NO MOVEMENT THROUGH THE CANNON.
• ACTIVATE THE STOP BUTTON ON THE CONTROL PANEL.
•ON THE GENERATOR YOU WILL SWITCH OFF THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY AND REMOVE THE PLUG. IF
STORING THE MACHINE FOR LONG PERIODS PLEASE SWITCH THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS TO OFF.
•ONCE THE GENERATOR IS OFF AND DISCONNECTED YOU CAN OPEN THE CONTROL PANEL AND
STORE THE REMOTE CONTROL AND ANTENNA IF THEY HAVE BEEN USED.
• IF THE MACHINE IS NOT GETTING USED FOR A LONG DURATION IT IS BEST TO DRAIN THE TANK.
TRANSPORTING
•THE M45AU IS VERY EASY TO MOVE AS IT HAS FORKLIFT POINTS FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. KEEPING IN
MIND THAT YOU DO NOT DAMAGE THE DRAIN VALVE OR SWITCHES ON THE CONTROL PANEL.
•THE M45AU UNIT MEASURES 1900MM X 1200MM IN LENGTH AND WIDTH MAKING IT PRACTICAL TO
CARRY ON MOST TRUCKS AND UTES.
•IF TRANSPORTING THE M45AU ON THE BACK OF A UTE OR TRUCK, MAKE SURE THAT THE LOAD IS
SECURED WITH LOAD RATED STRAPS. RATCHET STRAPS CAN BE RUN ACROSS THE TOP OF THE
TURRET BOX, DO THIS WITH CAUTION AND KEEP AWAY FROM THE PROXIMITY SENSORS. DO NOT
RUN STRAPS OVER THE CONTROL PANEL.
•DOUBLE-CHECK THAT THE CANNON HAS BEEN LOWERED INTO ITS CRADLE AND THAT THE TRAVEL
LATCH IS ENGAGED.

•IF THE MACHINE IS BEING TRANSPORTED ON UTE OR OPEN-AIR TRUCK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO COVER
THE CANNON TO PROTECT FROM BUGS AND OTHER ELEMENTS WHILE TRANSPORTING.
MAINTENANCE - OIL
OIL CHANGES AFTER THE FIRST 50 HOURS OF USE, THEN EVERY 500 HOURS OF USE
TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP & MOTOR
THE OZMIST M45AU MIST CANNON FEATURES ONE OF OZMIST'S RENOWNED INDUSTRIAL PUMP UNITS,
CAPABLE OF PRESSURISING 18 LITRES OF WATER PER MINUTE AT 1000PSI OR 70 BAR. OUR PUMPS
ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE AND WILL KEEP YOU RUNNING FOR YEARS TO
COME. BUT LIKE EVERY PUMP IT NEEDS TO TO BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
THESE PUMPS NEED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 500 HOURS OF OPERATION. YOU SHOULD ALSO CHECK THE
OIL REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT THE OIL IS AT THE CORRECT LEVEL.
CHECKING THE OIL
• UNDO THE CATCH ON THE TURRET DOOR AND LOWER THE LID.
•ONCE OPEN, REMOVE THE PIN THAT STOPS THE HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP FROM SLIDING OUT ON ITS
RAILS.
•WHEN REMOVED, SLIDE THE PUMP OUT ON ITS RAILS SO YOU CAN REACH THE SILVER CANISTER
ON THE TOP OF THE PUMP.
•UNSCREW THE CAP ON THE SILVER CANISTER AND CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. THE OIL LEVEL SHOULD
BE HALFWAY UP THE SILVER CANISTER. IF BELOW PLEASE TOP UP WITH 10W - 50 FULLY SYNTHETIC
OIL.

OPERATION MANUAL M45 MIST CANNON
Page 8
CHANGING THE OIL
•AS ABOVE, REMOVE THE PIN AND SLIDE THE PUMP OUT ON ITS RAILS UNTIL YOU CAN LOCATE THE
BRASS OIL DRAIN PLUG ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PUMP UNIT.
• PLACE A SUITABLE CONTAINER UNDER THE PUMP TO CATCH THE OIL.
•REMOVE THE DRAIN PLUG AND OIL SHOULD FLOW FROM THE PUMP INTO YOUR CONTAINER, WHILE
DRAINING REMOVE THE CAP FROM THE TOP OF THE SILVER CANISTER AND STORE SOMEPLACE
SAFE.
•ONCE THE PUMP HAS DRAINED ALL ITS OIL YOU CAN REPLACE THE DRAIN PLUG AND TIGHTEN IT
FIRMLY.
•PROCEED TO FILL THE PUMP FROM THE SILVER CANISTER POURING OIL VERY SLOWLY, ALLOWING
AIR TO DISSIPATE. POUR UNTIL THERE IS OIL HALFWAY UP THE SILVER CANISTER.
IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO RUN THE PUMP FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. ONCE
RUN FOR A SHORT TIME CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AGAIN.
ONLY USE 10W - 40 OR 10W - 50 FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL IN OUR PUMPS.
PLEASE REFERENCE THE MAKINEX GENERATOR USER MANUAL THAT IS SUPPLIED WITH EVERY MIST
CANNON TO FIND THEIR RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS.
MAINTENANCE - NOZZLES
DO NOT ADJUST NOZZLES WHILE THE MACHINE IS OPERATIONAL
NOZZLES
EACH CANNON IS FITTED WITH 60 HIGH PRESSURE MISTING NOZZLES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO VISUALLY
INSPECT THESE NOZZLES PERIODICALLY TO CHECK FOR BLOCKAGES. IF YOU HAVE A BLOCKED NOZZLE,
SHUT DOWN THE UNIT AND ONCE STOPPED REMOVE THE FACE OF THE BLOCKED NOZZLES (SHOWN
IN IMAGE) BEING CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE ANY OF THE SMALL COMPONENTS THAT ARE SEATED INSIDE.
WASH THE BLOCKED NOZZLE FACE IN CLEAN WATER. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO SOAK THE NOZZLE FACE
IN PRODUCTS SUCH AS CLR CLEAR TO REMOVE ANY CALCIUM BUILD-UP.

OPERATION MANUAL M45 MIST CANNON
Page 9
WATER FILTRATION
THERE ARE TWO INLINE 10" CARTRIDGE FILTERS INSTALLED ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TURRET BOX.
THE FILTER CLOSEST TO THE WATER INLET IS A 10-MICRON FILTER WITH THE NEXT BEING A 5-MICRON
FILTER. THESE SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARLY AS A BLOCKED FILTER CAN CAUSE ISSUES WITH THE
HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP CAUSING DOWNTIME WITH THE MACHINE. OUR FILTERS CAN BE PURCHASED
FROM MOST PLUMBING SUPPLY STORES.
EVERY MIST CANNON PURCHASED IS SUPPLIED WITH THE APPROPRIATE TOOLING TO REMOVE AND
REPLACE THE FILTERS ON THE SPECIFIC MACHINE. KEEP IN MIND THAT RUNNING A MACHINE WITH DIRTY
FILTERS CAN ALLOW DIRT TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND END UP IN THE NOZZLES, ESPECIALLY
IF YOU ARE DRAWING FROM A POOR QUALITY WATER SOURCE.
SPARE PARTS
KEEP YOUR SPARE PARTS IN A SAFE AND DRY LOCATION
THERE IS A NUMBER OF SPARE PARTS THAT ARE PROVIDED IN A TOOLBOX WHEN YOU PURCHASE ONE
OF OUR MOBILE MIST CANNONS. THIS TOOLBOX WILL ALSO HOUSE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION NEEDED
FOR MACHINE OPERATION. THESE SPARES INCLUDE CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS SUCH AS:
• REPLACEMENT 5 & 10-MICRON CARTRIDGE FILTERS
• REPLACEMENT 0.5MM HIGH-PRESSURE MISTING NOZZLES
• A 1-LITRE BOTTLE OF 10W-50 FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL
YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE COMPONENTS AND TOOLS IN THE SPARE PARTS BOX:
• OSCILLATION BLOCKS FOR LIMITING THE MACHINES LEFT & RIGHT ROTATION.
• PLASTIC SPANNER FOR REMOVING FILTER HOUSING FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT.
