BASIC CONCEPT OF THERMAL FOGGING

3
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
VectorFog™ Thermal Foggers are powered using the pulse jet principle. Pulse jet engines don’t have any moving
parts; instead they have a funnel shaped combuson chamber similar to a rocket engine which opens into a long
resonator or exhaust pipe. VectorFog thermal foggers have an auto start and operate through compressed air via a
compressor. When the auto start buon is pressed, the compressed air pressurizes the fuel tank, causing fuel toow
to the injector and then into the carbureor. Air/fuel mixture is then ignited by a spark plug in the carbureor. The
spark is created by an ignion coil which is powered by the vehicles baery. The ignon coil, baery and
compressor are all housed inside of the main body of the machine. Opg at its opmum performance,
combuon and injecon is repeated with a frequency of around 200-250 cycles per second. Once the machine
starts, the chemical tank also becomes pressurized by means of a non-return valve. A close valve and supply valve
are then opened to allow the ow of the chemical/oil soluon in to the resonator. At this stage the soluon is
heated up to around 1,400º C and dispersed into millions of ny droplets (around 10-30 microns in size) creng a
dense and visible smoke.

CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT
Fill the fuel tank
Fill the tank with undiluted petrol using a funnel. Fill the tank to a third of its capacity. When younishling the
tank, close the tank cap ghtly. Note: Please make sure you only add the prescribed amount of fuel.
Fill the chemical tank and connect to the thermal fogger
Pour the special fogging chemical mixture into the chemical tank. It is important not to add more chemical mixture
than it’s needed. Leaving remaining chemical in the tank r use, could aect the performance of the machine next
me you use it, as deposits may solidify in the system. When younishling the tank, close the tank cap ghtly.
Connect the power and remote control
Connect the 12V power lead (right) and remote control cable (le) as indicated in the picture below. Once plugged
in, connect the power lead directly to theery using the cigaree lighter plug. Red (Posive), Black (Negve).
Once connected, check that the green power light on the control remote is on. Note: Please make sure solution tank
switch on the remote control is turned to the“OFF” position before connecting the power

To turn on the machine
Making sure that the soluon switch on the remote control is on the “OFF” posion. Press the start buon (one
resonator at a me) and keep it pressed for 5 seconds  you hear combuon  (sounds like a small
explosion). It is necessary to keep the machine on for about 10 seconds to warm up before turning on the soluon
switch. TIP: If the machine fails to start , press the button “KNOCKING” so pressure in the fuel tank can be re-
established. Press the start button again and repeat the above procedureuntil it starts .
To start fogging
Once the machine has heated up for 10 seconds, ick the soluon switch to the ON posion. When you are ready to
start fogging, turn clockwise the Chemical Flow Regulator (FIG 1.12). Note: This valve also regulates the amount of
ow/chemical being used, by turning it leto right.
To turn o the machine
Flick the soluon switch to the OFF posion and press the STOP buon. Turn the Chemical Flow Regulator an-
clockwise to stop the ow of chemical. Tip: Aer use, keep the machine in operaon for 5 seconds to help get rid-o
any chemical mixture sl in the system.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Chemical Tank and Pipes
Fill the chemical tank with 25% of clean water and turn on the unit. This will prevent corrosion and the accumulaon
of chemical deposits in the tank and pipes.
Spark Plug Maintenance
Remove the spark plug using a spanner or spark plug remover. Remove any carbon deposits between the electrode
and the earth seon with a wire brush. Make sure that there is a space of 3 to 5 mm between the electrode and the
earth.

7
Fuel injector Maintenance
Unscrew the fuel Injector situated on the back of the machine (FIG 2.4). Clean the injector with compressed air.
Maintaining the valve petal
Remove the top of the carbureor. Check the gasket and valve for any distorons or cracks. If it’s damaged, you will
need to replace this part. TIP: It’s important to assemble the parts of the carburettor in the order there where
disassembled. The distance between the petal valve and the valve plate o should be approximately1 mm.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no ignition:
• Listen for any noises coming from the engine
If there is noise coming from the engine but there is no ignon, this could be because the engine has ooded (an
over-supply of fuel in the carbureor). To solve this problem, rst press the buon “KNOCKING” and then press the
“START” buon un you hear the machine ignite. Repeat this procedure several mes if it doesn’t start the
me.
• Check the spark plug
Remove the spark plug using a spanner or spark plug remover. Hold the plug by its pc cap and press the start
buon to check if there is a spark between the electrode and the earth. Also you should hear if there buzzing sound
from the ignon coil. Note: The ignition coil can be accessed through the “Rear access cover”
If there is no spark:
Clean any carbon deposits in between the electrode and earth with a wire brush.
Check that there is a distance of 3 to 5 mm between the electrode and earth.
Check that the vehicle’s baery is fully charged.
Check that the baery and ignon coil are working. If necessary, replace the baery or coil
Clean the contacts and check all the wires
Once these checks have been carried out, try starting the machine again.
• Check the fuel is being injected into the carbureor.
Examine the fuel hose connected to the fuow control valve and injector (FIG 2.2) is not blocked. If there is a lack
of fuel adjust fuel supply with the fuel regulator valve. Make sure the fuel tank is full before starng the machine.
Make sure the seal in the petrol caps are not damaged. Make sure the caps are rmly closed. Check the fuel injector
(FIG 2.4). Clean the injector with compressed air if blocked.

• Check the Petal Valve.
Remove the spark plug cap and unscrew the carburer. Examine the petal valve to see if it’s damaged. If it’s
damaged, replace petal valve. TIP: It’s important to assemble the parts of the carburettor in the order there where
disassembled. The distance between the petal valve and the valve plate o should be approximately 1 mm.

The machine is turned on, but the engine works intermittently or stops:
• Examine the fuel tank assembly to check for any leakages.
Aer pressing the start buon, cover the tank and connecons with soap to check for leaks. If bubbles are observed,
the gasket needs replacing on the fuel tank cap or the tank itself.
• Clean the resonator.
Remove carbon deposits in the heat tube inside de resonator with the wire brush provided. Use and forward and
backward moon.
The machine doesn’t fog or doesn’t fog enough:
• Check that the chemical regulator is opened. This is done by turning it anclockwise. Make sure that the Tank
Chemical Supply Valve is set to the open posion.

• Unscrew the main chemical inlet nozzle from the resonator and clean it using compressed air to remove any
blockages.
• Check there is no leaks in the chemical tank. Blow compressed air backwards though the chemical tube from the
inlet nozzle to see if any bubbles appear. Replace leaking parts if necessary
