Nebula Blizzard V3™
The LANTA Nebula Blizzard v3 must be mounted on a firm, level surface or suspended
from a stable truss using the supplied bracket and suitable truss coupler. It must not be
used on an unstable, unlevel surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the
product. It must only be used horizontally, do not tilt or operate on an incline when using
fluid, as this may spill out and damage the product and invalidate the warranty. Ensure
that the snow is not directed at someone’s face. NB. This is an indoor rated product. Do
NOT use outdoors.

If all appear OK, plug the unit in again.
2. If the machine operates, but snow does not come out after 5 seconds, switch off and
check the hose going into the tank to make sure there is fluid going into the hose.

Warning: If your Snow Machine is to be stored for an extended period, it must be flushed
before being stored otherwise fluid may thicken in the tank and block the pump. Failure
to do so will void your warranty.
After 20 hours of use, or if your machine is to be stored, purge your machine as follows:
1. Drain the unit of all fluid.
2. Fill the tank with 500ml of distilled water.
3. Run the unit until all the distilled water is consumed.
(Do not allow the pump to run dry).
4. Switch off, disconnect from the main supply and allow the sock to dry before storing.

purge the system AT LEAST every 30 days.
