MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Cumulus User Manual Rev. 2

6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Hazer Maintenance

Do not allow the fogger to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use CHAUVET

Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the

heating element.

The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.

1. Unplug the product from power.

2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine.

3. Add cleaning solution to the tank.

4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.

5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run

dry.

6. Refill with fog fluid to continue using the fogger. Run the machine briefly to clear any remaining

cleaning solution from the pump and heater.

Storage

Before storing the fogger, run FCQ through the system as described in the cleaning procedure above;

however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the tank with fog fluid if storing the fogger.

Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent any particles from condensing inside the pump or

heater while not in use.

Never operate the machine without fluid.

Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean your

Cumulus. Make sure you use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between

cleanings, to increase the life of your product.

Test-run your Cumulus on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
