3. Initial operation and start up of the system. Turn on the water supply and allow the tank to begin to
fill up. The unit may be operated with the water supply connected or disconnected. If operating with
the water supply disconnected, wait for the tank to fill up and then turn off the water supply and
disconnect the garden hose. The user can identify when the tank is full by using the clear sight tube. If
operating with the water supply connected, simply leave the water supply on. Once the tank is full a
valve will automatically shut off the water supply preventing the tank from overflowing. The valve will
also open when the tank requires more water. Press the “ON” button on the back of the unit to activate
the pump. If the “Warning” light is on press “OFF” to see if it disappears. If the light persists please see
the troubleshooting section. After pressing “ON” wait for 15‐20 seconds for the motor and pump to
activate, the delay is because the water must enter the system. If after 20 seconds the system does not
work, turn off the pump. Running the pump without a water supply will destroy the pump. If air is
trapped in the system it may be necessary to open the evacuation valve when turning the system “ON”,
see appendix for ball valve location. See the troubleshooting section if the system fails to operate. The
mist should form a cone shape when exiting the nozzle. If the cone is not even, or if the nozzle appears
to be leaking, see the troubleshooting section.
Do not increase the system pressure above 1000 PSI. Damage to internal
components may occur.
4. Turning on the Fan. Connect the fan to a proper power source. To begin the operation of the fan,
turn the knob on the fan to your desired speed. Fans have three different speeds and an oscillator that
may be switched ON or OFF. Fan speed may also be controlled by the knob on the back near the tank.
Place the fan in the desired location and lock the wheels in place to prevent the fan from moving during
operation.
5. Turning off the system. Shut off the fan by the knob to the “OFF” position. Turn off the pump by
pressing the “OFF” button on the back of the unit. The nozzles should stop emitting the mist
immediately. If the nozzles are still dripping, high pressure water may still be in the line and can be
relieved by opening the evacuation valve on the back of the unit, see appendix for exact location.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Serious injury or death is possible
Only connect the power supply plug to a properly grounded receptacle.
PINCH HAZZARD: Do not operate fans without gaurds in place. Do not
insert anything into fan guard while the fan is operation.
