Burgess Professional Electric Fogger
Owner’s Manual
1 OF 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Except as provided below, use outdoors only. Fire or explosion may occur if used in con ned area.
• Barrel is hot when plugged in. Allow to cool before touching .
• Never secure trigger in a permanent “ON” position. Overheating may occur.
• Release trigger immediately if a ame occurs in the barrel.
• Do not fog near combustible materials.
• Fog produced is ammable. Do not fog near open ames such as gas burner or pilot light.
• Fog produced may be toxic. Do not fog around food, eating utensils, humans, pets or
animals. DO NOT INHALE FOG.
• Use only 3-wire, 10, 12 or 14-gauge extension cord, suitable for outdoor usage. Never
defeat grounding feature. Failure to comply may result in electrical shock and /or re.
• Always unplug fogger when not in use. Never leave unattended.
• The use of other insecticides or chemical may damage your fogger and could result in unsafe
conditions. Use only oil base chemicals formulated for thermal fogging.
CAUTION
• Before operating - Read Instruction Manual.
• Follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Examine extension and unit cord before each usage for signs of degrading. Do not use if damaged.
• Do not have lighted materials, such as cigarettes, in area while lling or using fogger.
HOW AND WHY FOGGING WORKS
At the touch of the trigger, an electric pump forces liquid through a brass atomizing nozzle
into a thermostatically controlled heating chamber in the barrel. The chemical is vaporized instantly, and a
cloud of fog surges out of the barrel. The secret of fogging’s success lies in its ability to reduce chemical into
microscopic particles averaging 15 microns in diameter (a micron measures 1/25,000 an inch). By contrast,
mist droplets range from 50 to 125 microns and spray droplets more than 125 microns. The tiny particle size
allows the fog to spread and penetrate area being treated.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FOGGER
by the rate of ow of chemical through the heating chamber. This rate of ow is controlled by turning the
adjustment knob clockwise for a dry fog, counterclockwise for a wetter fog. Wet fog deposits a lm or
residue. This e ect may be desired on trash cans, pavements, or building foundations. Never use wet fog on
plants, shrubs or carpeting where the oily residue could have damaging e ects. Keep the fogger about
10 feet away from the area being treated and let the fog drift in the desired direction. At this distance, any
non-vaporized particles of chemical will settle to the ground.
A dry fog is recommended. The dryer the fog the smaller the particles. Dryness of fog is controlled

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembling
NOTE: Before each use, be sure nozzle cap on fogger
is tightened securely.
1. With fogger unplugged, Inspect nozzle cap by pulling barrel
away from fogger body as shown. (See Figure 1)
Figure 1
2. Inspect nozzle for any accumulation of any foreign matter.
Clean nozzle if needed before using and secure nozzle tightly.
(See Figure 2)
3. Attach barrel by positioning the prongs directly in line with the
slots provided for them in the housing. Push the barrel rmly
into place being careful not to twist or bend the prongs.
(See Figure 3)
4. Barrel should snap into place. Do not leave any gap between
fogger body and barrel as shown. (See Figure 4)

3. After lling container with (oil based) chemical, be sure latches
are fastened securely to lid as shown. (See Figure 5)
Figure 5
4. Plug in cord to the proper grounded electrical outlet (voltage is indicated on fogger housing.)
5. Extension cords must be 3-wire, 10, 12 or 14-gauge. Long lengths of lighter cord will not conduct the
necessary current to the heating chamber, and may result in insu cient heating and insecticide
leakage from the end of the barrel. Over heating of the extension cord may also occur.
CAUTION: • Use only extension cords which are intended for outdoor use and have an electrical rating not
less than the rating on the fogger nameplate.
• Examine your extension cord carefully before using. Do not use if damaged.
• Do not abuse the extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
• Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
Fogging - For Use Outdoors Only “except as provided in #6 below”
1. Allow the fogger to pre-heat for two minutes or more.
2. Carry the fogger as you would a suitcase, holding it about three feet o the ground and away from
your side.
3. Pull the trigger, conveniently located on the underside of the handle, to start the unit operating.
Release trigger to stop,
4. Turn adjustment knob clockwise to obtain a dry fog. With a dry fog, you should see no moisture on a
8" x 12" minimum piece of paper or cardboard when you pass it through the fog about a foot from the
barrel. Be careful not to place hand in front of the barrel.
5. For continuous use (more than one minute) be sure the unit is adjusted for a dry fog or liquid will drip
from end of barrel.
6. The fogger should only be operated indoors by certi ed, trained Fire and Smoke Restoration Technicians
and certi ed, trained Odor Control Technicians and only in accordance with the IICRC (FSRT) Fire &
Smoke Restoration Technicians and Odor Control Technicians (OCT) guidelines and standards.
WARNING:
Under certain conditions, a ame may be produced at either end of the barrel. If this occurs, release
•
trigger immediately and ame will extinguish. Do not attempt to extinguish by blowing it out,
smothering it or submersing in liquid, Turn adjustment knob for a drier fog before resuming operation.
• The fog produced is toxic and ammable.
• Do not smoke during use or lling.
• Keep away from food, humans, pets, and animals.
• Fire or explosion may occur if used in con ned areas.
• Do not fog near open ame or heated surfaces.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Be sure to spray clean water through the unit after each use and rinse out container thoroughly.
Lubricate according to instructions below. Wipe unit with a dry cloth after each use. Some chemicals,
when vaporized, may leave carbon or other residue inside the barrel. It is advisable to clean out the
barrel with a rag or soft bristled brush occasionally to prevent accumulation of any foreign matter.
Lubrication
Oil-based chemicals provide lubrication for the fogger's pump and atomizing mechanism, and little
additional maintenance is necessary. If fogger is used as a sprayer for water-base formulations, spray
kerosene or oil-base material through the sprayer unit for lubrication.
Storing
Keep the unit in dust-free storage to prevent accumulation of dirt in its mechanism. Never store unit
with chemicals in the container.
Clogging
Foreign matter in the liquid can result in clogging the pump or nozzle. To insure proper operation it is
recommended that clean material be used, or that it be ltered through cheese cloth if foreign matter is
present.
