Setup

AC Power
The Hurricane Bubble Haze LT has a fixed voltage power supply, and it can work with an input voltage range of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz, depending on the specific model.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

**Bubble Machine Maintenance

**

To clean the bubble mechanism:

Unscrew the cap from the bubble fluid reservoir.
Place the in hose in a container of clean water.
Place the out hose where it can safely drain.
Run the product in Bubbles mode for 2 minutes.
Thoroughly rinse the bubble fluid reservoir.
Restore the hoses and cap to the bubble fluid reservoir.
It is now safe to store the Hurricane Bubble Haze LT.

Perform bubble machine maintenance after every use.
Haze Machine Maintenance
Do not allow the haze machine to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use Chauvet Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.

Unplug the product from power.
Empty all haze fluid from the machine.
Add cleaning solution to the haze fluid reservoir.
Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the reservoir is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
Refill with haze fluid to continue using the haze machine. Run the machine briefly to clear any remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.

Do NOT operate the machine without fluid at any time.
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean the
Hurricane Bubble Haze LT. Use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between cleanings, to increase the life of the product.
Do not spin the blower fan using compressed air because it could damage the product.

Storage

Before storing the haze machine, run FCQ through the system as described in the cleaning procedure above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the tank with haze fluid if storing the Hurricane Bubble Haze LT. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent any particles from condensing inside the pump or heater while not in use.
Before storing the product, follow the instructions under Bubble Machine Maintenance.
Test-run the Hurricane Bubble Haze LT on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
Powering Off the Product for Transport
After following the instructions under Bubble Machine Maintenance, follow these instructions to prevent leaks. This will allow the pump to entirely clear the haze fluid line and heater of haze fluid before unplugging the product.
To prevent spills or leaks before, during, or after transport, Chauvet recommends the following steps for the Hurricane Bubble Haze LT:

Set the control knob to the Off position.
Wait 30–45 seconds.
When there is no more haze fluid in the output line, unplug the product from power.
