LETS GET STARTED!

Get familiar with the product and its uses (See diagram).

1. Insecticide Vessel — This container holds your liquid Fog™ Insecticide. Use only
products designed for thermal fogging.

2. Handle/Body of the Fogger — This takes the Fog Insecticide from the
Insecticide Vessel delivering it to the heater coil. Attached to the rear is a
propane fuel channel for a bottle of propane gas (sold separately). This gives the
Fogger the ability to fog insecticide. Located on the Handle/Body of the Fogger
are the following:

3. Black Propane Fuel Valve — This is located on the side of the Handle. The
propane fuel valve turns on the propane to begin the fogging process. Always
make sure that the propane fuel valve is turned clockwise to a stop when storing
the Fogger.

4. Handle — Underneath the Handle is a Trigger. This feature controls when the
fog is released from the Fogger. By pumping this Trigger, the insecticide is turned
into fog.

5. Trigger Lock — This button is located on the top front of the Fogger Handle.
When the button is pushed in to the right, the trigger is locked. You will be unable
to pull on the trigger. Always lock the Trigger when the Fogger is not being used
and during igniting.

6. Ignitor — Below the Trigger Lock is the Ignitor. By pushing in the Ignitor, a spark
lights the heater coil to create the heat. To test the Ignitor, go into a dark room
and push in the Ignitor button, without the propane gas cylinder attached. You
should see a spark just below the heater coil. If you do not see a spark the heater
coil will need to be ignited with a lighter or match.

7. Coil — The coil is protected by a wire basket on the end of the Handle opposite
the propane tank. This is the area in which the fog is released. WARNING, this
area will be HOT. KEEP AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND FLAMMABLES.

PREPARATION

1. Lock Trigger Button — Push the button at the front of the Fogger to lock the
trigger.

2. Insecticide Vessel — Fill the plastic insecticide vessel with insecticide. Be
sure that you do NOT overfill. Screw on the vessel until secure to ensure
safety while using the Fogger. Using any product other than specified
chemicals formulated for thermal foggers could clog the vapor coil and result
in an unsafe condition and will void any warranty.

3. Locating the Propane Fuel Valve — The propane fuel valve is located on the
right side of the Fogger adjacent to the propane fuel channel. Make sure that
the propane fuel valve is closed.

4. Inserting the Propane Gas Cylinder — Locate the channel in the back of the
Fogger. Inspect the cylinder and fogger to make sure that both are clean and
free of debris. Lightly push the cylinder into the channel and turn clockwise
until the cylinder is in place. Hand tighten.

OPERATING YOUR FOGGER

1. Verify that the trigger is locked in place by pulling the trigger. The trigger should
not move.

2. Always make sure that the Fogger is placed on a level surface to ignite and
preheat.

3. Open propane fuel valve no more than a 1/4 turn counter clockwise.

4. Push in the ignitor button to initiate a spark. The heater coil will ignite.

5. If the ignitor does not spark, close fuel valve. Wait 1 minute and repeat lighting
procedure. Be sure to move over a few feet to avoid the fumes in the immediate
area.

6. If the ignitor does NOT light the heater coil, close fuel valve and wait one minute.
Using a lighter or a match, place flame in ignitor hole then turn the propane fuel
valve slowly until the coil ignites.

7. Once lit, pre-heat the Fogger for 1 to 2 minutes. Failure to do so may result in
damage of the Fogger.

8. The Fogger is ready to operate. Release the trigger lock. WARNING! DO NOT

TOUCH THE HEATER COIL OR HEATER COIL WIRE BASKET. IT WILL BE
HOT! KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!

9. To release the insecticide, pump the trigger handle every 3 to 4 seconds. If a
flame appears, STOP PUMPING IMMEDIATELY. Excess insecticide is present
causing the flame to appear. Turn off the propane fuel valve and place the
Fogger on a non-flammable surface. Allow Fogger to sit undisturbed for 10
minutes and return to Step 1 of Operating the Fogger.

10. Use the Fogger about 5 feet away from the target area with the wind at your
back. This will avoid having the fog blow back towards you and not on the
desired location.

OTHER USAGE TIPS

ALWAYS operate the Fogger with the coil wire basket level with the ground.

DO NOT TIP UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE.
NEVER use directly on plants or outdoor shrubs. Use the Fogger in the
direction of the areas intended to use.
NEVER use the Fogger in extreme temperatures or harsh winds.
The best time to use the Fogger is at dusk when the wind and temperatures
will allow the insecticide fog to settle on the intended area and be most
effective.
The Fogger can be used as a wet or dry Fogger. The rate of pumping controls
the wetness or dryness of the fog. We recommend that you pump the Fogger
every 3 to 4 seconds to achieve maximum effect. A dry fog is always
recommended.
The fog should be white in color. If it appears brown or yellow, you are
pumping the Fogger too slowly and the fog will be too dry. However, if you are
pumping too quickly, the end of the fogger will be wet.

TURNING THE FOGGER OFF

1. Lock the trigger by pushing the trigger lock to the right side.

2. The insecticide may continue to fog for a few minutes.

3. Once the fog is stopped, turn off the propane fuel valve. It may take several
additional minutes for the Fogger to cool down.

STORAGE

1. ALWAYS store the Fogger in a cool place that is well ventilated. Keep out

of the reach of children and pets.

2. ALWAYS remove the propane gas cylinder from the fogger.

3. NEVER store the fogger with insecticide in the insecticide vessel or

damage to the unit WILL occur.
