MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Fogger 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.
Do Not operate the machine without fluid at any time.
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean your
Hurricane 2000. Make sure you use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between
cleanings, to increase the life of your product.
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.
Test-run your Hurricane 2000 on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
Powering off the unit for transport
Follow these instructions to prevent leaks, and allow the air pump to entirely clear the fluid line and heater
of the fog fluid before power off.
To prevent spills or leaks before, during, or after transport, Chauvet recommends the
following steps for your Hurricane 2000:
1. Turn the "Fog Volume" output to off.
2. Wait 30-45 seconds.
3. When there is no more fog fluid in the output line, turn off the machine by pressing
the power switch.
