Important Information About your T1600 Snow Machine
THE T1600 "QUIET SNOW MACHINE"
Congratulations on your purchase of this SnowMasters snow machine. With
your snow machine you will dazzle and entertain audiences in large or small
venues. Your T1600 snow machine is loaded with advanced features, but at
the same time it is very easy to use.
The T1600 "Quiet Snow Machine" is a modernized design in a family of special effects snow machines
used for years in Movie Productions, Theatres, Malls, and Presentations. This futuristic modeled "work-
horse" sprays evaporative snow from its nozzle section and creates a realistic
snowfall effect without residue or cold air. With its reliable, efficient and low-volume design, the
T1600 is a marvel for stage productions, fancy presentations or unique weddings. The tethered
remote and the DMX give the user control over snow flake size and instant activation.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Failure to follow these instructions can cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
CAUTION: YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE
OPERATING THE T1600 "QUIET SNOW MACHINE"
The T1600 is an Electric Product - not a Toy. To avoid the risk of fire, burns, personal injury, and
electric shock, it should not be played with and should be placed out of the reach of small
children. Adult supervision is continuously necessary to avoid the risk of electric shock or personal
injury. Never remove the covers or open the enclosures.
The T1600 " Quiet Snow Machine" generates evaporative snow™ that normally disipates completely
when dispensed from 20-30 ft in the air. Mounting the T1600 at the specified elevation, relative to
the generated flake size, is key to creating a "residue free" floor below the snow machine (See Chart
2). A wet floor or incorrectly mounted snow machine could allow a build-up of snow residue. Since
the residue is slippery, it is important to follow all the directions in this manual to avoid this type of
problem.
Never operate the T1600 without evaporative snow™ in the solution bottle. Do not run the T1600
when the Gallon Solution bottle is holding less than a pint of solution. If you do not follow these
directions, the T1600 can be damaged and warranty voided.
Always mount the T1600 using the secured "C" Clamp that is attached to the steel yoke, or secure it on
a flat stable platform. Wrap a safety chain around the yoke brackets for secondary protection.
Never leave the T1600 unattended while operating. Do not operate it in the rain or near standing
water. Always use an outlet with an earth grounding receptacle and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt
(GFCI).
Never use this product for any activity other than for what it is intended.
Never add flammable liquids (oil, gas, alcohol, perfume) to the snow solution.
