GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.The conductor with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if there is any doubt as to whether the outlet box
and the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend that the machine be returned to an authorized Distributor or
Service Center for repairs. However, users may undertake maintenance if they
wish.The Instruction Manual contains information on common repair procedures.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Remove electrical plug
from outlet before attempting any service. Do not unplug by pulling on
cord.To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not inhale fog output. Highly atomized liquid droplets can
float in the air a long time and are quickly absorbed by the
lungs. Depending on the material being fogged, this could result
in serious injury or death.
Do not use to apply any liquid that is hazardous to people,
animals or property when atomized into small droplets. The
large surface area of small droplets increases their reactivity and
potential to form an explosive mixture. Be aware of potentially
dangerous interactions between liquid fog droplets and other
aspects of the treatment area.
Read the label of the chemical you plan to use, and follow the
instructions in its “Precautions” and “Directions for Use”
sections. If the label lacks this information, obtain directions for
use and safety precautions including personal protective
equipment (respirator, face mask, special clothing) from the
chemical manufacturer or distributor.
Keep an intake air filter in place during use. This will help
prevent dust and fog droplets from entering the unit.
Do not atomize a flammable liquid. Electric arcs produced
inside the motor during normal use could ignite it.
Do not fog near an open flame.
Risk of Electric Shock – Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
Use only a properly grounded (earthed) three pin electric
outlet. The ground wire is an essential safety feature of this
product. Do not remove the grounding lug on the power cord.
Do not use an ungrounded (“3-to-2”) plug adapter.
An extension cord, if used, must have a continuous ground
wire leading to earth and an amperage rating greater than the
rated current on the fogger nameplate label. Do not chain two
extension cords together.

Product Overview
This machine atomizes light liquids into a fog, mist or spray of small
droplets. It can atomize both oil- and water-based solutions, as well as
emulsions and dilute suspensions of wettable powders.
Typical uses of this machine include:
• Humidification (fogging water)
• Odor control (fogging odor neutralizers, scents or masking
chemicals)
• Control of flying insects (application of insecticides)
• Cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting (applying germicides or
sanitizing chemicals), and for air duct cleaning, applying sealants
• Control of mold and mildew (applying sporicides, fungicides or
anti-mildew chemicals).
The liquid flow rate determines the size of the fog droplets formed
by the machine. Several factors influence the liquid flow rate – the
density and viscosity of the liquid; the setting of the flow control valve or
size of the flow restriction orifice; and the frictional resistance of the
machine’s internal lines.
Liquid viscosity and surface tension also affect the size of fog
droplets produced. At a given flow, lighter liquids (lower viscosity, lower
surface tension) generally make smaller droplets and finer fogs than
heavier liquids.
The drawing below identifies the principal components of the
machine.

This machine has a one-gallon [4 liter] reservoir to hold fogging
liquid. On the 7807 the fogging nozzle is at the end of the hose/wand
assembly; on other models Except for the 7807, it is mounted in the
power head;
Description of Operation
Fogmaster foggers atomize liquids into small droplets (fog or mist)
by shearing them in a highly turbulent section of the nozzle. A blower in
the power head supplies air to create the turbulence.
The liquid flow rate controls fog characteristics and average droplet
size. A low rate (1-2 ounces [30-60 ml] per minute) produces a dry fog of
small droplets that float extensively and diffuse widely. Larger flow rates
(4-8 ounces [100-250 ml] per minute) produce progressively larger
droplets (wet fog, fine mist).
Liquid flow is regulated by a control valve or, for certain models, a
fixed flow restrictor in the liquid intake line.
Calibration
Adjust the angle of the nozzle for your application and adjust the
liquid control valve to obtain the desired fog droplet size characteristics.
Remove the power head from the tank or drum adapter. Place
power head on a suitable stand, or suspend by its handle.
Fill a graduated cylinder or jar with a measured quantity of your
fogging liquid. For hand held models, position the cylinder or jar so the
liquid level is 6”(15 cm) below the fogger nozzle and insert suction tube.
Operate the fogger for 60 seconds. Remove suction tube, measure
remaining liquid and compute liquid consumed. This is the flow rate per
minute.
At low liquid flow rates, you may have to operate longer than one
minute to get an accurate flow measurement.

Equipment Setup
The hose and nozzle assembly of the 7807 Noz-L-Jet is shipped in a
separate carton, and must be attached to the power head.
Attaching the 7807 Noz-L-Jet hose/wand assembly
From the open hose end of the hose/wand assembly, gently stretch
out the internal tube to access the “push to connect”male fitting. The
tube carries liquid to the nozzle.
On the power head, extend the liquid connector and insert male fit-
ting fully. (For disassembly instructions, see Maintenance).
Attach hose to power head. Loosen hose clamp, slide hose firmly
over air discharge opening, and retighten hose clamp to secure.
Set-up for all models.
Loosen tank clamps and remove power head from tank. Remove
extra plastic tank liners from tank.
Open a protective plastic tank liner and position it inside tank (new
units ship with a tank liner in place). The top of the liner should extend
over and outside the top lip of the tank.
Add fogging liquid to the tank (inside the tank liner). Confirm that
the tank gasket is in place inside the lip of the cover plate. Put the power
head on the tank and fasten clamps to secure it.
Install the air intake filter over the air intake. Attach to “hook &
loop”dots at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions on the housing, then stretch
filter down and anchor over bottom of air intake.
Plug the fogger power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet and
turn power switch ON.
Adjust liquid valve for the desired fog droplet size characteristics
[some models do not have a flow control valve]. On the 7401, push the
red ring of control valve in to lock valve setting (out to release).
On the 7807, depress the fog control valve on the wand; latch valve
handle up for continuous output.
8

Operation
Add chemical solution to the liquid tank. If applying a wettable
powder or suspension, remove retaining ring and screen from weighted
suction tube. Clamp the power head in place.
Using the calibrated flow rate and the dosage instructions provided
by the chemical label or chemical manufacturer, calculate the time
required to properly fog the area. You can control the fogging time
manually or with a timer.
Adjust the angle of the fogger power head for the space you are
treating (point the nozzle slightly up for maximum distance).
Aim fog output towards area requiring treatment. For space fogging,
select the direction of greatest clearance so fog droplets can fill the space;
droplets that hit something will condense. You can also place machine on
a turntable (except 7807).
Confirm that flow control valve is set to the desired setting, and turn
on fogger. On 7807, press fog control valve on wand, or latch up.
When carrying fogger by hand, move it gently and slowly in a
smooth arc. Sudden movements can impose excessive torque on the
rapidly spinning fan blades and could cause premature blade failure.
Cleaning the Fogger
A. Normal cleanup. When fogging is complete, remove the suction
tube from the liquid source and operate the fogger for one minute with
the valve open full. This will expel any liquid remaining in the fogger’s
internal lines. Transfer excess chemical from tank to an appropriate
container.
B. Cleanup of difficult liquids. After fogging a viscous liquid,
emulsion or a solids suspension, begin with a “normal cleanup”(step A).
Then put suction tube into an appropriate solvent for your fogging
chemical (water for water-dispersible liquids, kerosene for oil-based
liquids, etc.) and operate unit for 1-2 minutes, flushing residual chemical
with clean solvent. Then repeat step A.
C. Cleanup for long-term storage. Remove all liquid from tank to
eliminate the potential for long term chemical attack on tank, suction tube
weight, or tubing. Then follow steps A or B.
To prevent internal tubing from becoming brittle in prolonged
storage, fog a few minutes with clean kerosene each 6-9 months, then
clean as in step A. This will help keep tubing pliable.

Maintenance
The major components of the fogger are identified on page 6. A
detailed parts list and order form is included as a separate sheet with each
unit. This document is also available for download on our web site.
WARNING: Unplug fogger power cord from electrical
outlet before attempting any maintenance operation.
Routine maintenance
Clean fogger after each use. Wash outside of machine with a mild
detergent and wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance. (Do not
immerse machine.) Replace motor brushes when they are completely
worn.
Clean intake air filter
Wash filter with water or appropriate solvent, allow to dry and rein-
stall. A replacement filter is available (part number = 081, or 080 for a
package of 10).
Cleaning the nozzle
Deposits which form on the nozzle can degrade performance. Try to
dissolve deposits with an appropriate mild solvent (soapy water, vinegar
solution, kerosene, etc.). Add about 2 inches of liquid to tank and
immerse nozzle (front of power head, or end of 7807 wand). If this is not
successful, replace nozzle assembly. Do not use a strong acid; it will
attack the metal components. Do not insert probe into nozzle opening; it
may damage nozzle elements
Simple Workstation for maintenance
During maintenance, you can use the tank as a workstation to keep
screws and other parts in position when you open the power head.
Unclamp power head from tank and remove rubber gasket from beneath
cover plate. Slide gasket over rear housing, flat side toward screw heads.
Place fogger rear housing on tank. Remove cap head nuts and lift front
housing to expose internal components.

About motor brushes
Two graphite brushes convey electric power to the motor commuta-
tor. Brushes are a consumable item, and have a lifetime of about 650
operating hours. Operating without the air intake filter lets airborne dirt
and moisture enter the motor; this can reduce brush life substantially.
When brushes are worn the motor does not operate properly.
If you must replace motor brushes, we recommend installing a
MOTOR SAVER brush on one side. The MOTOR SAVER brush contains an
insulating pin to shut down the motor when the brush is worn,
minimizing the chance that the motor will drag and scratch the
commutator. Replacement brush part numbers are:
030: Brush kit (two standard brushes), 120 VAC.
032: Brush kit (two standard brushes), 240 VAC
033: Brush kit (one standard, one MOTOR SAVER), 120 VAC.
034: Brush kit (one standard, one MOTOR SAVER), 240 VAC
How to replace motor brushes
Unplug power cord to prevent shock. Remove front housing (see
“Simple Workstation”) to access the motor. Identify the two motor brush
housings on opposite sides at the top of the motor.
Insert a small flat blade screwdriver between the motor wire/termi-
nal and the plastic brush housing. Gently pry terminal out, pushing it
towards the commutator until it is loosened. Take care not to break the
terminal contact or the wire. If the plastic brush housing is very tight, heat
slightly with a hair drier or heat gun to soften before sliding the wire/ter-
minal out. Repeat for the second brush.
Remove two Phillips head screws and retaining bracket holding one
motor brush. Lift brush off motor frame and discard.
Hold replacement brush in position (tab pointed down). Press the
motor wire terminal (flat brass piece) partially into the brush assembly,
between the brass shell and the plastic housing.
Slide the brush assembly towards the commutator until the tab seats
in the notch on the motor frame. Replace retaining bracket and two
screws. Then slide or pry the wire terminator securely back into the brush
housing with the screwdriver.
Repeat for other brush.

Damaged power cord
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an approved
cord that includes continuous line to ground (earth). Return unit to
Fogmaster or authorized importing distributor for service.
WARNING: A continuous ground (earth) line in the
power cord is essential for safe operation. Do not
operate machine without a continuous line to earth.
Replace motor
When excessive wear on the motor commutator shortens brush life
unacceptably, install a new motor (see “Simple Workstation”). Disconnect
motor wires and remove old motor, noting the sequence and orientation
of the plastic motor gaskets and metal torque ring.
Replace motor and reinstall gaskets and torque ring in proper
sequence. Take care that the bent tab on the torque ring faces the motor
and is seated in the small hole on the motor frame.
Reconnect electrical lines as shown on the circuit diagram.
Replace fan blade
Twisting the machine aggressively while it is running will cause the
fan blade to flex and scrape against the fan housing with a shrill, grinding
noise. Repeated flexing will eventually cause the fan to fail; the motor
operates but does not blow air.
To replace fan blade, open power head (see “Simple Workstation”)
and remove motor. Straighten the three bent tabs holding the fan housing
to the motor frame. Remove fan housing and unscrew the 1/2”nut hold-
ing fan blade to motor shaft. Replace fan blade (part number = 040) and
reassemble.
NOTE:You may have to remove motor brushes and the aluminum
armature bracket to grip the armature so it does not rotate when you
unscrew nut.

13
Disassemble tubing connector
Certain models use “press to insert”quick connect fittings
(tube-to-tube couplings, tube-to-thread adapters or tube-to-bulk-
head adapters). To make the connection, push the stem into the
receptacle and seat firmly.
There are two styles of connector. One has a release tab. To
open this style, press release tab and pull fitting apart.
The other style uses a locking collet with spring clips inside
the receptacle to secure the connector.
To open this style connector, release the locking collet by
pushing it towards the housing with your thumbnail or a small
screwdriver blade. Holding the collet ring in, withdraw the stem
portion, twisting slightly if necessary.
Tube Barb Coupling
To assemble fitting,
push together firmly.
