Operating Your Fogger
Lighting
Note: Follow the instructions in "Preparing Your Fogger" before proceeding.
• Always place the fogger on a flat, level, non-combustible outdoor surface while
lighting.
• Open the propane valve (E) approximately ¼ turn counter-clockwise.
• Your Black Flag® Bug Fogger is equipped with an auto-ignite feature that allows
for quick burner lighting with the simple push of a button. This feature is much
like those used on propane gas grills. To use the auto-ignite feature, push the
button (B) while the propane valve is in the "on" position until the burner is lit.
The burner may or may not light the first time the button is depressed,
depending on the wind and other conditions. Wait approximately 1-2 seconds
after each push of the button. If the unit does not light after 5-6 times, turn the
propane valve to the "off" position, wait approximately 30 seconds and then
repeat the process with the valve returned to the "on" position.
** If the auto igniter should fail to work, go to the trouble-shooting page to see
how to light manually **
• After successful ignition, allow the fogger to pre-heat for at least 2 minutes while
keeping level to the ground. While pre-heating, some flame may appear around
the mesh burner cover. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern (if
the condition persists after the pre-heat period, do not use the fogger and
immediately shut off the unit). Contact Customer Service (1-800-311-9903)
before using again. Failure to pre-heat the burner may clog the burner
orifice causing damage to your fogger.
Fogging
Note: You must pre-heat your fogger for at least 2 minutes prior to fogging.
• Squeeze the trigger (C) slowly and steadily approximately once every 3 to 4
seconds to obtain the most effective fog.
• Always keep the breeze at your back.
• If a flame should appear at the end of the nozzle, immediately stop pumping
and close the propane valve (E). Place the fogger on a flat, non-combustible
surface. The flame will stop after excess insecticide is dissipated. Contact
Customer Service (1-800-311-9903) before using again.
• Keep the fogger about 5 feet from the area to be treated, and let the fog drift in
the desired direction.
• Keep the hot mesh burner cover (A) away from skin and clothing.
Shutting Off Your Fogger
• Stop pumping the trigger.
• Be sure to wait for the unit to stop fogging before turning off the propane valve
(E). Excess insecticide in the coil will take 1 to 2 minutes to vaporize.
• Turn the propane valve (E) clockwise to shut off the propane supply to the
burner. **DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN PROPANE VALVE**
• The flame may continue to burn for up to 1 minute after closing the propane
valve (E). Be sure the flame is completely extinguished and the unit is cooled
prior to storing it.
Storing Your Fogger
• Be sure the burner flame is completely extinguished and the mesh burner cover
(A) is completely cooled.
• Remove the propane cylinder from the fogger and store in a cool, well ventilated
area out of the reach of children.
• Store the unit flat on its base to avoid possible insecticide leakage.
• Store the fogger, insecticide, and propane cylinder away from children.
• When storing the unit for extended periods of time, be sure to start with fresh
insecticide upon re-use.
