If the customer breaks the card swiping function or cancels the card swiping function at the customer's request, no quality guarantee and a er-sales service will be provided by Spark Fabrica. Spark Fabrica shall not be liable for any accidents and losses about this.
The maximum height of indoor and outdoor granule is di erent. The maximum height of indoor granule is 3.5 meter, while outdoor granule is 5 meter. If spark machines are a ected by wind, sparking height will be reduced, sparking direction will also be a ected by the wind and inclined.
Sparking stops automatically a er 30 seconds,and clearing material stops a er 5 seconds. The remote controller has 4 height levels. One remote controller is recommended to control 4 units at most. SPARK TIDE USER MANUAL SF-X5 |...
*Use a damp cloth to remove dust and debris from the surface of the machine. *Unused Spark Fabrica Granule should be stored in a cool, dry place, vacuum packed insealed foil bags, and prote- cted from moisture, heat, hot surface, open re and other ignition sources.
