2. Generating Fog
Once the machine has warmed up (indicator light stable), press the fog button (often integrated with the power button or a separate trigger) to emit fog. The MB-1 is designed for momentary fog bursts. Release the button to stop fog production.
3. Output Control (if applicable)
Some models may feature adjustable output settings (e.g., low/high output). Refer to the markings on your specific unit for details on how to select different fog output levels.
4. Powering Off
Press and hold the power button until the indicator light turns off. It is recommended to run the machine until the fluid tank is empty or nearly empty before prolonged storage to prevent fluid residue buildup.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Fluid Tank
Periodically, or before storing the machine for an extended period, empty any remaining fog fluid from the tank. You may rinse the tank with distilled water, but ensure it is completely dry before refilling or storing.
2. Nozzle Cleaning
If the fog output appears weak or inconsistent, the nozzle may be partially clogged. Consult a qualified technician for cleaning or replacement of the nozzle. Do not attempt to clear clogs with sharp objects.
3. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and recharge it periodically if not in use for a long time.
4. Storage
Store the Antari MB-1 in its carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment, away from extreme temperatures. Ensure the fluid tank is empty or contains fresh, approved fog fluid.
