Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fogger from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Fueling: Fill the fuel tank with the appropriate fuel type as specified by the manufacturer. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened.
3. Chemical Loading:
   • Identify the correct inlet pipe for your chosen solution (oil-based or water-based) as shown in Figure 3.
   • Carefully pour the desired chemical solution into the stainless steel tank. Do not overfill.
   • Securely close the tank cap.
4. Pre-Operation Check: Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and there are no leaks.

Operating Instructions

1. Starting the Machine:
   • Ensure the fuel valve is open.
   • Engage the automatic starter according to the specific instructions on the device.
   • Allow the machine to warm up for a few moments after starting.
2. Selecting Solution Type: Use the valve system (Figure 4) to select either the oil-based or water-based solution line, depending on the chemical being used.
3. Initiating Fogging: Once the machine is warmed up, open the solution valve to begin dispensing the fog.
4. Application: Direct the fogging barrel towards the target area. Maintain a steady pace to ensure even coverage.
