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 Cumulus HP.
Use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between cleanings, to increase the life of the
product.
Do not spin the blower fan using compressed air because it could be damaged.
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
Cumulus HP.
In addition, drain the water reservoir by twisting the drain valve counterclockwise.
The next time the product is used, make sure to close the drain valve before filling the water reservoir.
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 Cumulus HP on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
