Physical installation
Warning! Read 'Safety information' on page 4 before
installing the fog machine.
The fog machine is designed for indoor use only and must be
used in a dry location with adequate ventilation.
Martin™ can supply suitable safety cables and rigging clamps for use with the fog
machine (see 'Accessories' on page 19).
Do not suspend the machine immediately over areas with public access.
Ensure that there is at least 500 mm (20 in.) clearance all around the machine
and at least 1 m (40 in.) clearance in front of the output nozzle. Keep combustible
materials at least 1 m (40 in.) away from the machine.
The machine can be tilted up to 45 degrees up or down from horizontal if the tank
is partially filled. Overfilling or steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage.
Mounting the fog machine on a truss
The fog machine can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging
structure and tilted up to 45 degrees from horizontal. When
installing the fog machine with the mounting bracket hanging
vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a
G-clamp. If installing with the mounting bracket in any other
orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp (see
illustration on right) that completely encircles the truss chord.
To clamp the fog machine to a truss:
1. Install the mounting bracket on the fog machine and secure with both
tightening handles.
2. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all
fog machines and other equipment to be installed on it.
3. Block access under the work area.
4. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The bolt used must be
M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket
legs and be fastened with a self-locking nut.
5. Working from a stable platform, hang the fog machine with its clamp on the
truss and fasten the clamp securely.
6. Secure the fog machine with a safety cable as directed below.
