RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using electric appliances, follow these basic
safety precautions:
1 Read all the instructions before using the appliance.
2 To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance
is used near children.
3 To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position, then remove plug from
outlet.
4 Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
5 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appli-
ance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appli-
ance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or elec-
trical or mechanical adjustment.

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
The Vectra-Jet™ 7505 fogger atomizes light liquids into a fog, mist
or spray of small droplets. It can atomize both oil- and water-based solu-
tions, as well as emulsions and dilute suspensions of wettable powders.
Typical uses of this machine include:
• Cleaning,sanitizinganddisinfecting(applyinggermicidesor
sanitizing chemicals)
• Controlofmoldandmildew(applyingsporicides,fungicidesor
anti-mildew chemicals).
• Odorcontrol(foggingodorneutralizers,scentsormasking
chemicals)
• Humidification(foggingwater).
The liquid flow rate determines the size of the fog droplets
produced. Several factors influence liquid flow rate: the setting of the flow
control valve; liquid density; liquid viscosity; and the frictional resistance
of the machine’s internal lines.
Viscosity and surface tension also affect fog droplet size. At a given
flow, lighter liquids (with lower viscosity, or lower surface tension) make
smaller droplets and finer fogs than heavier ones.
The drawing below identifies the principal components of the
machine.

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 into the nozzle, regulated by the control valve,
determines average fog droplet size. A low rate (1-2 ounces [30-60 ml]
per minute) produces a dry fog – small droplets that float extensively and
diffuse widely. A larger flow rate (4-8 ounces [100-250 ml] per minute)
produces progressively larger droplets (wet fog, fine mist).
Chemicals for disinfecting applications may require a dry fog (vapor
phase disinfectants) or a heavier fog to wet all surfaces and maintain liq-
uid contact for the time specified by the product label or information
sheet. Fogs are useful for this application because they diffuse widely, use
less chemical and speed up drying.
Measuring the Liquid Flow Rate
Adjust the angle of the nozzle for your application and adjust the
liquid control valve to obtain the desired fog droplet size characteristics. It
is often more convenient to fog with water to set an approximate flow
rate, then make final measurements using the fogging liquid.
Remove the power head from the tank. Place power head on a suit-
able stand, or suspend by its handle.
Fill a graduated cylinder or jar with a measured quantity of liquid.
Position the cylinder or jar so the liquid level is 6” [15 cm] below the fog-
ger nozzle and insert the 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.
For small flow rates, you may have to operate longer than one min-
ute to get a good measurement.

ENGLISH
Equipment Setup
Attach Air Filter
The air intake filter and cover are packed in the top of the carton.
Place the filter cartridge over the bracket at the rear of the power head
and hold it against the rear housing. Screw filter cover into the bracket
and tighten snugly.
Install Tank Liner
Loosen tank clamps and lift power head from tank. Remove extra
plastic tank liners from tank.
Open a protective plastic tank liner and position it inside the 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.
NOTE: Although the stainless steel of the Vectra-Jet fogger
offers a measure of protection against chemical corrosion, we
nonetheless also recommend use of the plastic tank liners as
an additional barrier.
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.
Adjust Flow Rate
Plug the fogger power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet and
turn power switch ON.
Adjust liquid valve for the desired fog droplet size. Push the red ring
of control valve in to lock valve setting (out to release).

ENGLISH
Operation
Add chemical solution to the liquid tank. If applying a wettable
powder or suspension, remove retaining ring and screen from weighted
suction tube weight. Clamp the power head in place.
Using the measured 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 fogging time manually
or with a timer.
Adjust the angle of the 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 the
machine on a model 6100 turntable.
Confirm that flow control valve is set to the desired setting, and turn
on fogger.
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, unclamp power
head and transfer any excess chemical from the tank to an appropriate
container. Operate the fogger for one minute with the valve open full to
expel any liquid remaining in the fogger’s internal lines.
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.
Replace intake air filter
Unscrew filter cover plate to remove filter. Install new filter and
replace cover. Tighten snugly.
Cleaning the nozzle
Deposits that form on the nozzle can degrade atomization perfor-
mance. Try to dissolve deposits with an appropriate mild solvent (soapy
water, vinegar solution, kerosene, Lime-Away, etc.). Add about 2 inches of
liquid to tank and immerse nozzle (front of power head). If this is not suc-
cessful, replace nozzle assembly. Do not use a strong acid; it will attack
the metal components. Never insert a probe into the nozzle opening; you
may damage nozzle elements
Simple Setup for Maintenance
The tank gasket can help keep screws and other parts in position
when you open the power head. Loosen cap nuts on housing screws
slightly (do not remove). Remove rubber gasket from beneath cover plate
and slide it over the rear housing, flat side first, until it touches the screw
heads. Stand the power head on the filter and cover, remove cap 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 replace motor brushes, we recommend installing them in
pairs, and using Mo t o r Sa v e r brushes. The Mo t o r Sa v e r 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:
033: Brush kit (pair, Mo t o r Sa v e r ), 120 VAC.
034: Brush kit (pair, Mo t o r Sa v e r ), 240 VAC
How to replace motor brushes
Unplug power cord to prevent shock. Remove front housing (see
“Simple Setup for Maintenance”) 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 with the tab pointed down.
Press the motor wire terminal (flat brass piece) partially into the brush
assembly, between the brass shell and the plastic housing.
Push the brush assembly towards the commutator until the tab falls
into the notch on the motor frame. Replace the 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 a 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
Excessive wear on the motor commutator will shorten brush life
unacceptably. In this case, you must replace the motor (see “Simple Setup
for Maintenance”). Disconnect motor wires and remove old motor. Note
the sequence and orientation of the plastic motor gaskets and metal
torque ring.
Replace motor and reinstall gaskets and torque ring in proper
sequence. The bent tab on the torque ring must face the motor and be
seated in the small hole on the motor frame.
Reconnect electrical lines as shown on the circuit diagram.
Replace fan blades
Twisting the machine aggressively while it is running will cause the
fan blades to flex and rub against the fan housing with a shrill, grinding
noise. Repeated flexing will eventually cause the fan blades to fail; the
motor will operate but not blow air.
To replace fan blade, open power head (see “Simple Setup for
Maintenance”) 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 holding 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.
