Winterizing
Protect unit utilizing water based formulations from freezing if unit is to be
transported, or stored in an area where freezing is likely. Drain solution
reservoir, and spray some winterized windshield cleaning solution through
™
®
unit. Solvent based formulations such as ODORx
THERMO-55
do not
freeze, so when utilizing solvent based formulations no special winterizing
procedure is necessary.
Clogging
Foreign matter in the liquid can result in clogging the pump or nozzle. To
insure proper operation it is recommended that clean formulation always be
utilized, or that it should first be filtered through paper coffee filters before use
if foreign matter is present or suspected.
Replace nozzle every 8 hours of operation to insure small fog particle size.
Pressure purging the mechanism
Aerosol solvent carburetor cleaner may be used to purge and flush dirty or
clogged pump mechanisms, or for periodic maintenance.
Note: Unit's motor must make normal buzzing sound for this maintenance/
repair technique to be effective.
1. Protect work area from solvent related damages by covering with
newspaper or other absorbent material.
2. Wear protective goggles and rubber gloves.
3. Insert the plastic tube from the aerosol carburetor cleaner into the can
nozzle.
4. Remove formulation reservoir from fogger.
5. Remove formulation filter from brass stem.
6. Disengage heat barrel from fogger. Plug fogger into electrical outlet.
7. Insert straw from aerosol can into white plastic nut at bottom of brass stem.
8. Simultaneously pull trigger on fogger while depressing spray nozzle on
aerosol can to inject a 1 second burst of cleaner into the mechanism to purge
and flush system. A stream or spray of cleaner should be visible at nozzle cap.
9. Fill formulation reservoir with suitable solution, clean formulation filter and
re-install on brass stem, attach formulation reservoir to unit and test operate. If
necessary, repair or replace pump/piston system.
