“DRY” FOG VS “WET” FOG
CAUTION
When it is intended to fog in a closed area, the operator should first test the fog
to verify that it is DRY before entering the closed area. To test the fog quality
pass a dark piece of paper or a shiny object through the fog at a distance of
approximately 24 inches (61 CM) from the discharge (exhaust) end of the
machine. If there is any visual accumulation on the paper or object, the fog must
be considered WET and the flow control orifice must be reduced to a smaller
number (or the metering valve closed clockwise to a lower number) to produce a
dryer fog. To ensure a DRY fog, always give yourself a margin of safety in
selecting a formulation flow rate.
START FOGGING
WARNING: Ensure that the person operating the machine is wearing OSHA
approved safety equipment (ie. gloves, respirator, goggles, etc...) before
attempting to fog! Following all other applicable NOTES, CAUTIONS and
WARNINGS listed in this manual and on the formulation label.
1. Start the engine as specified in the section STARTING THE ENGINE.
2. Verify that the Formulation Tank Cap is tight.
3. When the engine is running smooth, move the machine to a clear open area
and position the FORMULATION ON/OFF VALVE to “ON” position. Return the
FORMULATION ON/OFF VALVE to “OFF” position to stop fogging.
4. Observe the fog being produced and if necessary after allowing the machine to
cool, select a different flow control orifice that will give the fog quality you desire.
