Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces product performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the
product's life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean all
lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could
be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.

Fog Machine Maintenance

Do not allow the fog machine to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use
Chauvet Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in
the heating element.
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine.
3. Add cleaning solution to the tank.
4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run
dry.
6. Refill with fog fluid to continue using the fog machine. Run the machine briefly to clear any
remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
Do Not operate the machine without fluid at any time.
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean the
Hurricane 1000. Use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between cleanings, to increase
the life of the product.

Storage

Before storing the fog machine, run FCQ through the system as described in the cleaning procedure
above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the tank with fog fluid if storing the
Hurricane 1000. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent any particles from condensing
inside the pump or heater while not in use.
Test-run the Hurricane 1000 on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
