Warning! Read All Instructions Before Using Equipment!

Overview

The Stationary 612 4-Way Fogger is a damp mist sprayer that uses compressed air (4.8 CFM @ 80 PSI) and venturi action to draw ready-to-use chemical solution from a nearby container and project it up to 6 feet in 4 directions. The adjustable output sprays mist (fog) into the air to cover exposed surfaces and penetrate hard-to-reach areas. This versatile unit can be permanently mounted or easily moved. The low CFM requirement allows it to be used with consumer-grade air compressors rated at 5 CFM or above.

Safety & Operational Precautions

Manufacturer assumes no liability for the use or misuse of this unit.
Wear proper respiratory protection, protective clothing, gloves and eye-wear when working with chemicals.
Always direct the discharge away from electrical devices.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s safe handling instructions.
Carefully follow chemical manufacturer's safe handling instructions and recommended precautions/practices when using flammable chemicals.
SPECIAL CAUTION: This fogger atomizes chemical into the air. Ensure that the area to be fogged has been evacuated of all people without proper respiratory protection!

To Install (refer to diagram on next page)

Push the pick up tubes over the 4 metering tip holders.
Use a container with enough water for doing some test runs to familiarize yourself with the fogger before running chemicals through it. This will help you determine the best placement for the best coverage.
Place the fogger on any level, horizontal surface in the center of the test area, away from or above large objects that can block the fog from dispersing. The fogger must be higher than the chemical solution supply to prevent siphoning.
Place the 2 pick up tubes/strainers in the water.
Connect a 3/8" minimum air line to the fogger. Air line should have a shut off valve on the opposite end where the fogger can be turned on and off at a distance. Wear ear protection.
Move away from the fogger and turn on your air supply, observe the foggers' performance. The fog should be consistent and uniform. If it is sputtering and inconsistent you may need to partially close your airline ball valve to fine tune the air volume/pressure.
For certain applications the foggers may produce more volume than needed. If fog is too dense, optional metering tips are available for restricting the solution volume to produce a lighter fog.
Observe the coverage; you may have to move the fogger a time or two for best coverage. Once you are familiar with coverage, operation, and air flow adjustments, you are ready to fog.

To Operate

SPECIAL CAUTION:This fogger atomizes chemical into the air. Ensure that the chemical is safe to be around or the area to be fogged has been evacuated of all people and/or animals before starting fogging. Upon completion of fogging, ensure that sufficient time has elapsed for all the fog to have dissipated before returning to the area without proper respiratory protection.

Be certain the fogger has been tested and is located according to the installation instructions noted above.
Place the chemical suction tubes into a container of ready-to-use chemical solution suitable for your fogging application. (Follow all guidelines of the chemical manufacturer.)
Connect your 3/8" minimum air line to the fogger -- do not turn on!!
Exit the area to be fogged and turn on your air supply from outside the fogging area. Adjust airline ball valve if needed, based on your testing with water.
For certain applications the foggers may produce more volume than needed. If fog is too dense, optional metering tips are available for restricting the solution volume to produce a lighter fog
Fogger will continue to run until the air supply is manually turned off.
Depending on the application, you will have to experiment with the amount of time and solution required to achieve the desired results.
Turn air supply off when finished. Do NOT re enter room without proper respiratory protection until fog dissipates.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Problem	Startup	Maintenance
A) Fogger will not draw chemical or is sputtering B) Fog is too wet	1, 2, 3, 4 1, 5	6, 7, 8, 9

Possible Cause / Solution
Startup	Maintenance
Air line too small, not enough air pressure or volume See REQUIREMENTS, page 1. Air pressure too high. Slightly close the air supply valve to lower the pressure by lowering the volume until the fogger smooths out. Fogger too high to draw chemical, 12' maximum Raise the level of the chemical Chemical tube kinked or not immersed in chemical or chemical depleted. Straighten tube / replenish chemical Drawing too much solution Order and install optional metering tip or needle valve (needle valve 4 & 8-Way only).	Pin hole or cut in suction tube Replace suction tube. Chemical strainer clogged up Clean or replace Metering tip or metering tip holder clogged Clean or replace metering tip and/or metering tip holder. Debris clogging the fogger inlet jets Disconnect air supply, remove fogger bodies and visually inspect; remove debris from fogger inlet.

- Raise the level of the chemical
Chemical tube kinked or not immersed in chemical or chemical depleted.
- Straighten tube / replenish chemical
Drawing too much solution
- Order and install optional metering tip or needle valve (needle valve 4 & 8-Way only).

Pin hole or cut in suction tube
- Replace suction tube.
Chemical strainer clogged up
- Clean or replace
Metering tip or metering tip holder clogged
- Clean or replace metering tip and/or metering tip holder.
Debris clogging the fogger inlet jets
- Disconnect air supply, remove fogger bodies and visually inspect; remove debris from fogger inlet.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: When the unit will be out of service for extended periods, place chemical tube(s) in water and flush the chemical out of the unit to help prevent chemical from drying out and causing build-up. Periodically check and clean chemical strainer and replace if missing.
