Read operator’s manual carefully and
thoroughly. Understand all safety warnings and
instructions before attempting operation of the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT DRY (FULL WATER SUPPLY IS REQUIRED
IN THE SUMP). Avoid permanent damage to the unit’s sump pump.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as the United States
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
Always operate SS 700 with it's safety guards and housing securely
in place.
Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing machine. Hydro 700
must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electric
shock. Check for correct voltage supply.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
If use of an extension cord is necessary, use a heavy, gauge 3 wire
extension cord with a molded three-prong plug.
Keep hands and all objects from entering the path of the blade.
Install the Hydro SS 700 at bench-top height or higher for added
safety and optimum performance.
Do not use ammable liquids, caustic materials, or corrosive materials
with the Hydro SS 700.
When servicing Hydro SS 700, use only identical replacement parts
and follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may damage equipment or cause personal injury.

The Hydro SS 700 uses a high-speed
component to atomize water, the following
safety precautions must be observed at all
times:

When unpacking your unit, locate the following:
1) Hydro SS 700-BT
1) Operator’s Manual
5) Wire Ties
1) Service Allen Wrench (for Blade Assembly)
UNPACKING
THE HYDRO SS 700 CAN BE AUTOMATED WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH A CONTROL. THE FAN MAY NOT APPEAR POWERED BUT COULD
SUDDENLY BEGIN HIGH-SPEED ROTATION AS A FUNCTION OF THE
PRESET CONTROL.
WARNING
HIGH-SPEED ROTATION, NEVER OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT THE HOUSING
AND SAFETY GUARDS INSTALLED.
NOTIFICATION
GROUND FAULT RECEPTACLES ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED AND
MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW.
NOTICE
WARNING

Small structures
In applications requiring only
one unit, install the unit
anywhere along one end wall,
propelling the fog upward and
horizontally down the length of
the structure. If there is forced
ventilation, choose the intake
end of the structure. The best
location for automated controls
is behind the fan at an easily-
accessible level for monitoring.
Large structures
Equally space the units within the structure. Lower humidity and/or cooling
requirements can allow for greater distance between fans. Usually, the
maximum distance between fans should be 20’ from the side and 35’ from
the front. If the structure has forced ventilation, shift the fans closer to the
intake end. The fans should always be propelling their fog with the direction
of natural or forced air ow.

Where to Place
Locate a stable and level area to set the unit. Place
at the edge of a bench or shelf and propel the fog
towards an open area or isle way. As a general rule,
the higher the better. Allow adequate room in front
of and below the fan for the unobstructed propulsion
of the fog. Pivot the fogging head upward to maximize
evaporation and dryness near the unit.
Place the unit near the intake end of a ventilated structure and propel
fog in direction with air ow. In structures with no ventilation, install
the unit at the largest, most open end and propel the fog towards the
opposite end, or propel the fog in the direction with natural air ow.
DO NOT propel the fog into the wind or direction of airow.
DO NOT pivot the fogging head to propel fog at a sharp downward angle.
DO NOT cramp the fan in tight spaces or skinny aisleways.
DO NOT mount the fan near the ground or underneath tables or benches.
This would result in a high loss of fog onto the ground, though it
would not cause mechanical harm to the unit.

Pivot Feature:
For best results, pivot the
fogging head between 15°
and 30° up from the
horizontal position.

Connect Water Supply:
Hydro SS units come equipped with a standard garden hose connector and
1/4” water line tubing. Simply connect to an available hose bib. Turn water
on and allow a few minutes for the unit to ll. Remove sump lid to observe if
unit lls properly. When the sump is full, the oat valve should automatically
stop water ow and rell it when necessary.
To trim water line. Remove 1/4” tubing from the hose connector by applying
pressure to the retaining clip and pulling on the tubing. See Fig. 1 Trim and
push tubing back into the connector to secure.

Connect Power Supply:
Plug directly into a properly grounded receptacle. If equipped with a
Humidistat, Thermostat, or Cycle Timer Control, plug the control into a
receptacle and then plug the fan into the female side of the control’s pre-
wired plug. See Fig. 2

Lubricate Motor: Remove two blue plugs at the top
of the motor. Apply 4-5 drops of light grade petroleum
based oil at each bearing location 1 to 2 times a year or
as needed. Replace blue plugs. See Fig. 3
Cleaning Blade Assembly: After removing the blade
assembly, remove the stainless plate and O-ring. Soak
the blades in CLR for about one hour, scrub clean and
rinse off with water. Carefully check the small holes
leading into passageways that extend the
length of each blade. See Fig. 4 When
clean, test by blowing air through each
blade.
Clean Pump and Sump: Periodically clean
debris from inside the sump area and
nearby the pump. If you need to clean inside
the pump, the cover easily snaps off. See

Fog Output
After the unit has been plugged
in and the water turned on, you
can adjust fogging output with
the quarter turn ow control valve
located at the back of the unit. The
valve is fully open when the lever is
horizional and fully closed when the
lever is pointing 90º up. You may
also adjust it anywhere in between.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check power supply. Toggle switch ON is up position. If using a controller,
try bypassing it and plug unit directly into a power outlet. Check for a
faulty power cord.
2. Make sure sump is properly lled with water, this takes a few minutes.
After sump is full, turn unit ON and Open ow control valve (horizontal
position is full open). Check units sump pump.
3. As fog evaporates, it becomes transparent. Dry air and propulsion
evaporates fog quickly. As humidity increases, evaporation slows and fog
becomes more apparent. A dark background helps to see the output.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
2. If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up, replace motor.
3. Sump may not be getting water fast enought. Check oat valve assembly.
Check water line pressure and any kinks in water line tubing.
4. If sump and oat valve checks out good, check the sump pump
electrically and mechanically, replace if needed.
5. Remove Feed Tube and ream with a small wire. Clean and reinstall.
1. Remove and clean out the rear reservoir and the blades’ passageways.
2. Adjust feed tube so its water stream ows into the blades rear reservoir.
3. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
4. If the blade can spin without motor shaft, reposition the blade and tighten
the setscrew on the at of the shaft, replace assembly if necessary.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.
2. If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up, replace motor.
3. Check controller for loose connections, test unit’s motor and controller
independently with a direct power supply for process of elimination.
1. Remove blue plugs and lubricate motor bearings while manually rotating
shaft back and forth until loose.

Fan Blade Assembly
First remove the atomizing ring/front guard
assembly. The blade assembly is now
accessible and is secured to the motor shaft
with a setscrew. Loosen the setscrew using
1/16” Allen wrench (provided) and carefully
leverage blade assembly off the shaft.
See Fig. 8
To reinstall, line up setscrew with at of the
motor shaft and secure into position with the
blade assembly ush to the end of the shaft.
Accessing The Motor
Disconnect the electrical power.
After removing the atomizing ring,
front guard assembly and blade
assembly, use a 3/8” nut driver or
wrench to remove the four 10-32
nuts behind the blade assembly
securing the motor to rear guard.
See Fig. 8
Pump
Disconnect the electrical power.
With a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the sump cover screws and the pump support screws. See Fig. 9 Disconnect
the plumbing on top of the pump and un-wire the pump’s electrical cord that
leads inside the ON/OFF Switch Box. Reinstall in the reverse order. Note: Only
nger tighten the brass tube tting when threading it into the top of the pump.
