Fogger Maintenance & Setup Guide

Proper maintenance ensures consistent fog output, prevents clogs, and extends the life of your fog machine. If you notice weak output, sputtering, or delayed fog bursts, cleaning is recommended.

1. Proper Fogger Placement & Setup

Proper fogger placement on flat, stable surface

Before operating your fogger, confirm:

• Unit is placed on a level, stable surface

• Roughly 12 inches (30 cm) clearance around ventilation areas

• Power cable is securely connected

• Fluid tank cap is tightly sealed

2. Recommended Fogger Settings

Basic Operating Guidelines

• Allow full warm-up time before activating output

• Use 5–10 second bursts for most indoor environments

• Set timer intervals between 30–90 seconds

• For DMX models, start at 30% output

Avoid continuous output unless necessary, as oversaturation can cause residue buildup and destroy game components and be harmful to guests.

Maintenance Instructions

3. Draining Old Fluid

1. Turn off and unplug the machine.

2. Allow the unit to cool completely.

3. Drain remaining fluid into a non-metal container.

4. Use a fine mesh or coffee filter to remove debris before reuse.

4. Cleaning the Internal System

1. Turn the machine OFF and let it cool completely. Drain any leftover fog fluid and rinse the tank with distilled water. 

2. Pour 1 cup of Froggy's Fully Clean into the tank. Turn the machine ON, let it heat up, and run until almost empty. 

3. Turn OFF and drain the remaining cleaner. 

4. Flush the system: Add 1 cup of distilled water, heat up, run until almost empty, then drain and rinse the tank again. 

5. Final step: Add a small amount of regular fog fluid. Heat up and run 5–10 good bursts of fog to lubricate the lines. 

Water vapor may appear before fog — this is normal during flushing.

5. Exterior Cleaning

• Wipe down housing

• Clean the platform in which it sits

• Remove dust from vents

• Do not spray liquid directly into openings
