OVERVIEW

Ice Hopper Chiller Box Lid

SETUP

1. Open the shipping carton and carefully remove the unit. Be sure to remove all the packing material, paying particular attention to the area around the nozzle.
2. Set the machine on a flat dry surface and unscrew the knob on the top of the unit. Open the top of the unit, and fill the inside of the Mister Kool EP with ice.
3. Remove the reservoir cap located on the top of the machine.
4. Fill the Mister Kool EP reservoir with ADJ brand fog juice only, then replace the cap.
5. Insert the water tube into the water bag. When the ice melts, the water will drain into the bag. Note: The tube needs to be inserted into the water drainage bag and the water valve located on the back of the unit. Ensure that the valve is in the open position with the handle parallel to the valve.
6. Remove the remote control from the carton. Firmly plug the remote control into the remote control socket located on the rear unit.
7. Plug the unit into a matching power supply and flip the power switch to the on position.
8. Follow the operating instructions on the next page for proper remote operation.

Always be sure to maintain an adequate supply of ADJ® Brand Fog juice™ in the fluid reservoir. Running the fog machine dry will cause pump failure and or clogging. This is the most common cause of failure in fog machines.

OPERATION

When initially powered on or when refilling the fog fluid, the unit will require approximately 3 minutes to warm up. Once warmed up, follow the instructions below for ground fogger operation.

• Remote: The remote allows manual or timer-based operation. The “on/off” button on the remote activates the timer function. A yellow LED above the button lights up when the timer function is enabled.
• Continuous: The remote features a red “Continuous” button for continuous fog output. Fog will emit as long as this button is pressed. A red LED above this button indicates continuous operation.
• Manual: The green button on the remote allows manual control of fog output. Fog will emit while this button is held down, and a green LED above this button will illuminate when the machine is warmed up and ready to produce fog.
• Timer: To activate the timer function, press the yellow timer button on the remote. A yellow LED will indicate the timer function is active. The “duration” knob adjusts the fog burst length, while the “interval” knob controls the time between bursts. Clockwise rotation increases the values, while counterclockwise rotation decreases them.

CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE

• WARNING! DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES!
• ALWAYS ALLOW THE FIXTURE TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. Clean periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user-serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from an authorized ADJ dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, colour lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
