6. Service and Maintenance
6.1 Emptying the tray
Take care to be sure drip pan is in place. Empty it regularly and inspect it for cracks.
Immediately clean up any drips or spills on floor as fog fluid is very slippery!
6.2 Shut down and storage
When finished with the machine, clean the tube and pump by operating the unit while
running a pint of 5% vinegar/distilled water mix through the pump and then rinse with a
pint of distilled water. This will keep the piston in the pump from becoming stuck. At the
same time, it will help clean the fins inside the cooling unit from all of the fog fluids that
have been run through the unit. When finished, water should remain in the tubing line.
Remove tray and empty, then reinstall. Check for fluid accumulation just inside nozzle
openings (see 4.2 below). It is not necessary to have the large hoses attached while in
the cleaning process.
6.3 Fluid buildup inside nozzle opening
If fog is too wet, which results from running a lot on “blast” or setting the volume setting
above 70%, there can be a buildup of fluid inside the unit on the floor just behind the two
4” outlets. This can be dried out by removing the hoses and reaching in through the 4”
openings with a paper towel. It is especially important to dry this out if you are going to
be putting the unit into storage.
6.4 Fluid buildup inside hoses
If fog is too wet, you will also get a fluid buildup inside the hoses, where it collects in the
corrugations. If you need to relocate the hoses you should take care to avoid getting
slippery fog fluid on the floor.
6.5 The cooling unit
In the event that the system must be recharged with freon use R-408A @ 1.75#. Be
sure air has not permeated the system or moisture can enter and render the cooling system
unrepairable. This type of repair will void any warranty.
