Caution! Fire

hazard.

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of injury due to
electric shock, burns, falls and respiratory problems!

Read this manual before operating the machine, follow the safety precautions
listed below, and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the
machine. Use the system only as described in this manual and in accordance
with local laws and regulations.

If you have questions about how to operate the machine safely, or if you have
followed the instructions in this manual and the machine is malfunctioning,
please contact Martin Service.

Preventing electric shocks

• Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and

electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.

• Before connecting the Magnum smoke machine to power, check that

the voltage indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local
AC power voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use
the machine. Contact Martin Service for assistance.

• Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment

and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.

• If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,

defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine
and contact Martin Service for assistance. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or it’s service agent.

• Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not

in use.

• This system is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet

outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not
expose to high-pressure water jets.

• Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect

AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic
parts, take the system out of service and contact Martin for advice.

4 Safety information

• Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer

any service not described in this manual to Martin.

• Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or

missing.

• Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim smoke output at

electrical connections or devices.

Preventing burns and fire

• The smoke produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns

when it leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape
occasionally. Keep people and objects at least 1 meter (39 inches) away
from the smoke output nozzle.

• Do not touch the smoke output nozzle during or after use – it becomes

extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.

• Smoke output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an

almost invisible blue flame. Do not point smoke output at sources of
ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.

• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.

• Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this

manual for the machine.

• Provide a minimum free space of 100mm (4 inches) around the

machine.

• Provide a minimum free space of 500mm (20 inches) around fans and

air vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the
machine.

• Keep the machine at least 600mm (24 inches) away from combustible

and heat-sensitive materials.

• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°

C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).

• Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.

Preventing injuries

• Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can

safely hold the weight of the machine.

• Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

• Smoke machines can cause condensation. Do not point the output at

smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these
frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.

• Ensure at least 2m visibility in areas where smoke is being produced.

• Smoke fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present

health risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact
occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain
medical advice.

Safety information 5

Preventing breathing problems

• A smoke machine can operate safely only with the smoke fluid it is

designed for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Smoke
fluid options” on page 13 or you may cause the release of toxic gases,
presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the
machine.

• Do not create dense smoke in confined or poorly ventilated areas.

• Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or

respiratory conditions such as asthma) to smoke output.

• Do not point smoke output directly at a person’s face or at face height.
