Operating Your Fogger
Lighting
NOTE: Follow the outlined steps in the Assembly Instructions section before proceeding.
1. Always place the fogger on a flat, level, non-combustible outdoor surface while lighting.
2. Open the propane valve (E) approximately 1 full turn counter-clockwise.
3. Your Propane Powered Insect Fogger is equipped with an auto-ignite feature that allows for
quick burner lighting with the simple push of a button. This feature is much like those used on the
propane gas grills. To use the auto-ignite feature push the button (B) while the propane valve is in the
"on" position until the burner is lit. The burner may or may not light the first time the button is
depressed, depending on the wind and other conditions. Wait approximately 1-2 seconds after each push
of the button. If the unit does not light after 5-6 times, turn the propane valve to the "off" position,
wait approximately 30 seconds and then repeat the process with the valve returned to the "on" position.
4. **If the auto igniter should fail to work, go to the Troubleshooting section to see how to light manually **
5. After successful ignition, allow the fogger to pre-heat for at least 2 minutes while keeping level to the
ground. While pre-heating, some flame may appear around the mesh burner cover. If the condition persists
after the pre-heat period, do not use the fogger and immediately shut off the unit. Contact Customer
Service (1-800-311-9903) before using again. Failure to pre-heat the burner may clog the burner orifice
causing damage to your fogger.
Fogging
NOTE: You must pre-heat your fogger for at least 2 minutes prior to fogging.
1. Squeeze the trigger (C) slowly and steadily approximately once every 3 to 4 seconds to obtain the most
effective fog.
2. Always keep the breeze at your back.
3. If a flame should appear at the end of the nozzle, immediately stop pumping and close the propane valve
(E). Place the fogger on a flat, non-combustible surface. The flame will stop after excess insecticide is
dissipated. Contact Customer Service (1-800-311-9903) before using again.
4. Keep the fogger about 5 feet from the area to be treated, and let the fog drift in the desired direction.
5. Keep the hot mesh burner cover (A) away from skin and clothing.
Shutting Off Your Fogger
1. Stop pumping the trigger.
2. Be sure to wait for the unit to stop fogging before turning off the propane valve (E). Excess insecticide in
the coil will take 1 to 2 minutes to vaporize.
3. Turn the propane valve (E) clockwise to shut off the propane supply to the burner.
**DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN PROPANE VALVE**
4. The flame may continue to burn for up to 1 minute after closing the propane valve (E). Be sure the flame is
completely extinguished and the unit is cooled prior to storing it.
Storing Your Fogger
1. Be sure the burner flame is completely extinguished and the mesh burner cover (A) is completely cooled.
2. Remove the propane cylinder from the fogger and store in a cool, well ventilated area out of the reach of
children.
3. Store the unit flat on its base to avoid possible insecticide leakage.
4. Store the fogger, insecticide, and propane cylinder out of reach of children.
5. When storing the unit for extended periods of time, be sure to start with fresh insecticide upon re-use.
For pesticide disposal, call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Never place unused
product down any indoor or outdoor drain.
