TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you experience low output, pump noise, or no output at all, disconnect the device and discontinue
use immediately. Do not attempt to continue operation as this may damage the machine. Check the
fluid level, the breaker, and the wall outlet to make sure that it is sending power. If all the above factors
do not appear to be causing the issue, and the unit still fails to operate correctly, the unit will require
service. Please contact Magmatic Effects for assistance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

When storing your device, be sure to store in a cool area. Cover the device to that dust does not build
up on the device. When storing for long periods of time it is highly advisable to run the device at least
once every 3-4 months. Long periods of inactivity can severely shorten the life of your device. Only
run Magmatic’s Atmosity fluid (SKU# ARH and AAH) through your machine. Never run plain
water, vinegar, or any other liquid solution through your device, as doing so will severely damage your
device.
