It is essential to read the chemical manufacturer’s instructions before you start applying, including diluting ratio and safety precautions.
Only experienced personnel should operate this equipment.
You must exercise caution when connecting the propane/butane canister, in order to avoid the risk of fire.

Vectorfog® BY100 Mini Foggers are powered by standard propane or butane gas
cartridge. The gas is ignited by a piezo and the gas heats the metal coil
tube. The water
or oil dilutant is then heated and mixed with the chemical to create a fog or
mist. Thanks to its portability, the BY100 is ideal for fogging pesticides and
disinfectants in a multitude of locations such as in homes, patios, parks,
silos, chicken coops, and greenhouses.
CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT
Unpacking the Unit
When unpacking the unit, please make sure that the machine is not damaged and
that all accessories mentioned in this manual are not missing.
Fill the Fuel Tank
Unscrew the tank counter-clockwise from the main body. Fill the tank with the
dilutant of your choice. Water for water-based fogging or oil for oil-based
fogging. Do not add more dilutant than needed. Do not overfill the tank. When
finished with filling the tank, screw the tank tightly back to the main body in
a clockwise direction.
Fill the Chemical Tank
Pre-mix chemical with an oil or water-based emulsifier prior to filling the
chemical tank. Please refer to chemical manufacturers’ instructions for the
correct ratio. Fill the special chemical mixture into the chemical tank. It is
important not to add more chemical mixture than is needed. Please check the
level of the window located on the side of the machine. The maximum level is
350ml.
When you finish filling the tank, close the tank cap tightly.
Note: Leaving the remaining chemicals in the tank after use could affect the performance of the machine in the following session as deposits may solidify.
To Turn Machine On
Connect the propane/butane gas cartridge to the main body. Make sure it is
locked into position. Turn the gas supply on by turning the valve
counterclockwise, as shown in the diagram. To start the machine, press the
ignition switch located on the left-hand side of the machine. It is necessary
to keep the machine on for about 10 seconds (if water fogging) and/or 30
seconds (if oil fogging) to warm up before opening the chemical valve.
To Start Fogging
Once the machine has warmed to the required temperature, turn the chemical
valve counterclockwise as shown in the diagram below and press the trigger to
start fogging. When the trigger is released, the fogging will pause.
Note: When oil fogging, please make sure the oil has been consumed. Any oil still left in the coil after use could cause it to block and not work on the next session.
To Turn Machine Off
Release the trigger. Turn the chemical supply valve clockwise to stop the
supply of chemicals. Turn off the gas supply by turning the valve clockwise as
shown on the diagram below. Remove the gas cartridge.
Note: When storing the machine, please make sure no dilutants or chemicals are left in the tanks.
