3. Quick set-up
3.1 Installation
3.1.1 Open the box and unpack any shipping materials.
3.1.1.1 Remove the pump assembly from the box and verify all
accessories present.
3.1.1.2 Inspect the machine for any physical damage.
3.1.1.3 Inspect the pump for any signs of oil leakage. The pump ships
from the factory with oil, but if there is an unexpected leak, the
pump will need to be filled with oil before operation. (See
section 7.2)
3.1.2 Connect to a water supply line. Residential pressure is sufficient
to supply the pump.

4.3 Cautions
4.3.1 Do not operate the machine in temperatures below freezing
(0°C/32°F).
4.3.2 Before use, check for oil inside the pump. If there has been any
leakage, fill the oil.
4.3.3 Only use a power source with correct electrical voltage (V),
frequency (Hz) and current rating according to the machine
specifications.
4.3.4 Do not set up the operating pressure of the pump over 1000 psi.
4.3.5 Do not run the machine when there is inadequate water flow to
the inlet port. Insufficient water supply will damage the
componentsinsidethepumpandshortenthelifeofthemachine.
4.3.6 The water supply hose must be at least 5/16” in diameter.
4.3.7 Do NOT use a power cable longer than 30 ft. All extension cables
must be rated for the required voltage and amperage, and be
outdoor rated with a grounding prong.
4.3.8 The water pressure at the inlet port should be at least 30 psi for
continuous operation.
4.3.9 Water temperature must not exceed 50°C/120°F and must be
well-filtered.
4.3.10 The inlet water must be filtered. Sediment and contamination
will clog the pump internals as well as the misting nozzles. It is
recommended to use a water treatment or conditioning filter to
reduce and prevent the formation of solids in areas with hard
water or high mineral concentrations.
4.3.11 Beforeuse,checkthepump oilfor deterioration.Checkthatinlet
fittings and high-pressure fittings are FIRMLY attached and fully
seated.

4.3.12 The number of nozzles for the best misting effect will vary
depending on the pump used. If a lower number of nozzles than
recommendedis used,thesystem willbeoverpressurized,iftoo
many nozzles are used, the pressure will drop and the
atomization effect will be poor. Please refer to catalog
specifications for details.
4.3.13 Avalve installedintheendofmisting systemisrecommended.It
will help to easily purge air from the system, especially in
extensively long installations, or with configurations where air is
easily trapped in the misting lines.
4.3.14 When misting, check all nozzles and ensure none are blocked. If
blocked, clean or change the nozzle.
4.3.15 When misting, check that all connectors are without leaks. If
there is leak, reinstall the connector or change it.
4.3.16 Forstorageduringwintermonths,orwherethepumpwillnotbe
used for an extended period of time, discharge the system

7.2 Procedure for Oil Change
Use ISO 68 oil or equivalent, available from Hydromist:
ISO68 Pump Oil, 21oz. bottle: Part# F02-06-001
Always power off the machine and disconnect power before
performing any maintenance or inspection.
—
Irregular maintenance and failure to change the oil regularly,
will cause damage to the machine parts and/or shorten the
service life.
—When changing the oil, make sure to remove the old oil
completely. Too much old oil can affect the quality of the new
oil.
—Only change the oil with the pump on a level surface.
—Do not change hot oil. Pump operation increases the oil
temperature to a dangerous level and can cause severe burns.
7.2.1 Purge pressure and water from the misting system.
7.2.2 Remove the water supply hose and high-pressure misting hose.
7.2.3 Check the bottomofthemachine tosee ifthereis anyoilleakagefromthe
pump body. Clean up any oil leaks or spills so that a leak can be detected.
7.2.4 Oil must be changed after first the 50-hour operation mark, and then be
changed every 250-300 hours of running.
The maximum oil capacity is 2 oz. (60 ml).
7.2.5 Disconnect power first to prevent electric shock.
7.2.6 Place wood blocks or similar items on both sides under the pump to raise
the body in order to facilitate easy drainage of old oil.
