TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you experience low output, pump noise, or no fog output at all, disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue to operate as this may damage the machine. Check the fluid level, the breaker, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If all of the above appears to be okay, and the unit fails to operate correctly, the unit will require service. Please contact Magmatic Effects.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

When storing your fog machine be sure to store it in a cool area. Cover the machine so that dust does not build up on the unit. When storing the machine for long periods of time, it is highly advised to at least run the machine every 3-4 months. Long periods of inactivity can severly shorten the life of your machine. Only run Atmosity Extreme Filtered Fog Fluid (AEF-4L) through your machine. Never run plain water, vinegar, or any other liquid solution through your machine. Running anything other then water based fog juice will severly damage your machine.
