Getting started

Installing the batteries

Figure 2: Battery case of the Fog Spray Gun

Open the battery case with a screwdriver. The battery case is at the bottom side of the Fog Spray Gun.
Install 6 standard batteries LR6, 1.5 V, alcaline.

ATTENTION
Do not mix old and new batteries and always change 6 batteries at the same time.
Always put two batteries in one case, one on top of the other.

ATTENTION
Make sure the polarity is correct. The correct polarity is shown in the battery lid.
Close the battery lid and tighten the crosshead screws.

NOTE

Instead of the cells, rechargeable batteries can be used.

Filling the tank with fluid

Remove the red tap (2) from he fluid bottle and remove the strap from the bottle
Remove the sealing ring (1) from the tap (2).
Put the sealing ring (1) on the bottle opening, put the sprout (3) on the sealing ring and as-semble it on the bottle with the tap (2).
Remove the cap (4) from the sproud.

Figure 3: Top part of the fluid bottle

Before filling, lay the Fog Spray Gun on its side.
Insert the long sprout far into the tank (open-ing “Fill”) and fill the tank with fluid.
Control the fluid level in the tank at the Fluid Level Window. (under the Filling opening, see fig. 1, part 6). For this purpose, replace the Fog Spray Gun in an upright position. Fill the tank to 3/4 full.

NOTE!
Hold the Fluid Level Window to a light source to easily see the level of the fluid.

Suction of the excess fluid from the overflow tank
The fog spray gun has a second tank for excess fluid. The fluid can be sucked from this tank in the following way.

Squeeze the Fluid bottle.
Insert the long nozzle into the “Empty” tank and release the pressure on the bottle so that the excess fluid in the tank is sucked back into the bottle.

Operation

WARNING
Operation in an environment with inflammable gas or vapor is not permitted.

Creating the fog

ATTENTION
Do not cover the air intake (fig. 1, part 8) during the operation.

Turn the Power –Button to horizontal unlocked position.
Press the Power Butoon gently until the LED power light glows, indicating that power is on.

NOTE
Hold for 6 to 9 seconds. This gives the coil in the vapor generator time to heat up.

Then squeeze the Vapor Lever to deliver Fog Fluid to the Generator.
To produce a longer duration vapor stream, squeeze the PowerButton/Vapor Lever just enough to see a thick vapor from the top of the chimney.
Then simply pulse the Vapor Lever by easing up on the lever, so the power light stays on, then increasing pressure on the lever to pro-duce a controlled volume of vapor. Repeat this pulsing action as long as vapor is needed.

Storage and transport

ATTENTION
Improper transport or storage can harm the Fog Spray Gun. Other objects may become soiled by the fog or fluid.

To lock the Power Button, when storing or not in use, simply turn the Power Button so the key is vertical.
Empty the fluid tank by sucking the fluid back into the bottle (see chapter4.3).

Failures

Failure	Possible reason	Solution
There is no power indicator light or vapor	Disposable or rechargeable
batteries are empty.	Replace the batteries or, if using rechargeables, re-

charge the batteries.
The batteries are not in- stalled correctly.| Make sure that all batteries are in the correct polarity position.
The power light shines but very little or no vapor is being produced.| The fluid tank is empty.| Fill the tank to 3/4 full.
The tank plug is not tight, so that there is no pressure in the tank.| Make sure that the plug is making a good seal.
The fluid tank is overfilled so that excess fluid is cool- ing the Vapor Generator.| Suck out excess fluid with the Fluid Bottle (see chap- ter 4.3).
The Power/Vapor Lever is being depressed without allowing for the Vapor Gen- erator to heat up.| Hold the Power/Vapor Lev- er gently depressed for 6 – 9 seconds, than press more firmly.
Fluid is getting out of the Fog Spray Gun| The tank is overfilled. Ex- cess fluid is running out of the Air Intake vents of the chimney.| Suck out excess fluid with the Fluid Bottle (see chap- ter 4.3).
The tank plug is not tight.| Press the plug down firmly to seal.
The unit is not transported or stored in an upright posi- tion.| Suck out the fluid with the Fluid Bottle

(see chapter 4.3).

Due to the oily nature of the Fog Fluid, when vaporized, the fog easily condenses on the plastic surfaces of the Fog Spray Gun and there will be some unavoidable residue of fluid.| Clean the Fog Spray Gun with a paper tissue.
