C.

MAGMATIC. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide product proof of purchase and serial num­ber by acceptable evidence such as an invoice copy or an approved MAGMATIC Extended Warranty
Certificate (“EWC”) and any relevant maintenance records at the time warranty service is sought.

safety cables, brackets, clamps, rigging hardware, frost filters, gel frames, barn doors, lenses, hoses,
nozzles, rack mounting hardware, etc.), must be boxed using the original and/or suitable packag­ing materials (double-box and foam) that provides ample product protection for ground and/or air

warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate and/or improper packaging and/
or due to damage caused by the shipping carrier, may incur additional repair charges before warranty
service begins and/or may void this warranty. If any product accessories (included and/or optional) are
shipped with the product, MAGMATIC and/or the MAGMATIC Authorized Service Center shall have
no liability what so ever for the loss and/or damage to any such accessories, nor the safe return thereof.

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 ensure 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, it 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 so that dust does not build
up on the device. It is highly advisable to run the machine at least once every 3-4 months when stor­ing for long periods of time. Long periods of inactivity can severely shorten the life of your device. Only
run Magmatic’s Atmosity fluid (SKU# ARH or 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.
