uncontrolled flame. Failure to pre-heat the heater coil may also clog the heater
coil, damaging your fogger.
3. Only use Insecticide designed for thermal fogging.
4. ALWAYS operate your fogger with the heater coil level to the ground.
Pointing the fogger down may allow liquid propane to plug the torch, cause
flame-up, or uncontrolled burn.
5. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE PROPANE FUEL VALVE. Your fogger
will continue to burn, for a short while, (1-2 minutes) after the valve is turned
off. Over tightening will cause serious damage to your fogger.
6. We recommend the use of the 14.1 oz., tall style propane cylinder (3” diameter
X 10.5” long). Bonide does not recommend the use of the shorter, 16 oz.
lantern cylinders. Lantern cylinders may cause flare-ups or uncontrolled
burn, particularly when the cylinder is full.
7. Always inspect the threaded outlet of the propane fuel cylinder and remove any
dirt that may be there.
8. Operate the Fogger only in well-ventilated areas. Always keep the Fogger away
from flammable materials. Do not smoke while filling and operating unit. Do
not fog near uncovered foodstuffs, cooking and eating utensils or open fires.
Contamination, fire or explosion could occur.
9. Do not operate the Fogger in areas when people and pets are present. Keep the
Fogger, cylinder and insecticide out of reach of children.
10. Improper attachment of propane gas cylinder to fogger may result in a gas leak.
Care must be taken not to cross thread the cylinder into the valve.
11. Keep face, hands and clothing away from coil wire basket at all times. Coil wire
basket becomes very hot while in operation.
12. The trigger lock should be engaged at all times except when fogging (push button to right).
This will prevent accidental pumping of insecticide into coil. An accumulation of insecticide in
the coil may cause liquid discharge when lighting the unit. Such a concentrated discharge may
ignite, or stain clothing, outdoor carpeting, etc., and may be harmful to grass and foliage.
13. NEVER leave Fogger unattended when the burner is lit.
14. Do not overfill insecticide vessel. Turn off propane valve and allow unit to cool
before refilling.
15. ALWAYS follow insecticide label instructions.
16. Propane gas cylinders are high pressure. DO NOT handle cylinders roughly.
Follow instructions on cylinder label.
17. NEVER store propane gas cylinders indoors or attached to the Fogger. Always
store cylinders in a cool, well ventilated space.
