• Make sure lid of feeding hopper are well covered when use Sparkular Fall. Accidentally Burning of Composite Ti can only use sands to extinguish. Composite Ti should keep away from moisture and stored in a dry sealed environment.
• Keep audience and flammable material at a minimum distance of 3m from SPARKULAR FALL and it’s drop sparks. Make sure sparks shoot out from Sparkular FALL can NOT touch any objects.
• Ensure that children, animals and unauthorized persons don’t have access to the SPARKULAR FALL.
• Clear material for Sparkular Fall is necessary both before the show and after the show, to clear the Composite Ti remains in the pipe. Check whether there are Composite Ti aggregate in the nozzle after each show, if any, please clean it up, or it will affect the shooting effect or even damage Sparkular Fall.
• The Sparkular FALL power supply cable (sparkular fall power supply EX-cable) maximum allowed cascade for Sparkular Fall is 6pcs (BT04)/ 3pcs (BT05), exceeded connecting may result in damage or even cause fire.
• For better heat dissipation, block the air intake and air outlet is prohibited.
