Mounting :
Orientation: This fixture should only be mounted/used on a flat surface. This fixture should not be tilted.
Rigging: It is important never to obstruct the vents’ pathways. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp.
When selecting installation location, take into consideration the fluid reservoir access and routine maintenance.
Safety cables must always be used, utilising the provided safety eye bolt.
Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
General maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimise wear, the item should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are
contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned after use to avoid dust build-
up and blockages, which can result in poor performance, overheating and breakages. Be sure to uplug the unit from the mains
before conducting any maintenance. Use a vacuum and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal
components. Clean the external case when the unit has completely cooled down with a dry cloth or tissue.
Regular maintenance
Be sure to power off fixture before conducting any maintenance. Every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to run a
cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20% distilled white vinegar through the system to prevent the
accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning regime is as follows:
1. Empty all haze/smoke fluid from the machine.
2. Add the above cleaning solution to the tank (80% distilled water and 20% distilled white vinegar).
3. Plug the unit in to the mains and allow it to warm up.
4. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
Cleaning is now complete. Refill with haze/smoke fluid. Run the unit briefly to clear any cleaning solution from the system.
