WARNING
Please read and understand these safety precautions before operating this appliance. Failure to properly follow
these precautions may lead to a serious incident, such as a fire, explosion, or electrical shock hazard.
1. Electric Power.
Precautions:
This machine uses electrical power at common commercially available voltages. When directly contacted, such voltages
are hazardous to human life. All precautions commonly applicable to the use of the electric power are generally applicable
to the use of this appliance. This appliance is designed to operate from three wire power systems where one of the wires is
a safety ground. Use a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) power outlet whenever possible. Do not disconnect the safety
ground or use extension leads or “cheater” plugs to connect this machine to a two-wire system. This machine must be used
with a 3-prong grounded extension lead plugged into a grounded electrical supply.
Extension Leads:
Extension leads must be properly sized and rated for the voltage, current, and length of an individual lead. Consult the
nameplate current and voltage rating of your machine and the marked rating of the extension lead. A single extension lead
only should be used. When two or more extension leads are placed in a series, the rated current carrying capacities of the
leads may no longer be valid. If an extension lead becomes warm to touch, discontinue its use and obtain a lead with a
higher current rating. Improper extension leads are not only hazardous, but may result in poor machine performance due to
excessive voltage drop.
2. Formulations.
This machine will take both water and oil based formulations, as well as solvents. However, do NOT atomise solvents and
flammable formulations near open flames.
3. Aerosol Concentration.
An acceptable level of liquid in the atmosphere is 2.7 litres per 1,000 cubic metres. There is a safety margin of at least 5 to 1
in this figure.
4. Aerosol Ignition.
If a combustible atmosphere is established or a combustible deposit is laid down, a source of ignition may cause a fire. It is
strongly recommended that all such sources be eliminated in the appropriate manner. To avoid danger of fire or explosion in
an enclosed space, the enclosed volume fogging time and required formulation volume should be carefully calculated.
5. Proper and Improper Use.
The following rules apply to the operation of this machine:
DO read the entire manual before operating the machine and pay particular attention to all
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
•Store formulation in its original labelled container.
•Only use a 3-prong grounded extension lead which is properly rated for voltage, current, and length and which is
free from nicks, cracks, and other signs of prior abuse. For lengths up to 30.5 metres. Leads with No. 12 AWG wire are
adequate.
•Turn off the appliance before unplugging. Unplug by grasping the plug. Do not pull on the lead to unplug. Do not unplug
machine with wet hands.
•Replace damaged or worn electric lead immediately.
•Turn the flow valve CLOCKWISE to the OFF position after each fogging application while the motor is still operating to
allow clearing of the lines.
•Always comply with any requirements for protective clothing, goggles, facial masks, or respiratory equipment required
by the formulation label.
•Ensure that formulation is applied only in strict compliance with the formulation label.
