▪ Ensure that formulation is applied only in strict compliance with the formulation label as well as local, state, and federal regulations. Safety Precautions (continued) DO NOT Do not spray flammable liquids near open flame or other source of ignition. Do not use oil-base or flammable formulations with this machine.
SPECIFICATIONS Description: The Hurricane ES™ machine is an electrostatic “Cold Fog” ULV/Mister that utilizes a 3-nozzle air-assist design. This device is intended for applications of Water-Base formulations. The body and tank are made of high-density chemical resistant polyethylene. The applicator is useful for dispensing most chemicals which are labeled for aerosol or mist applications such as disinfectants, deodorizers, germicides, insecticides, etc., in locations such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, greenhouses, stables, warehouses, homes, and farm buildings.
Principles of Operation- This machine consists of a motor/blower assembly, high voltage power supply, charging ring and electrode, blower housing, a nozzle, formulation tank and metering valve. The blower is a two-stage centrifugal compressor driven by a universal motor operating at a speed of 20,000 rpm.
(Collector) FIGURE 4 Flow Rates, Droplet Sizes and Applications Liquid flow rate of the Hurricane ES is created by the suction caused by the design of the 3- nozzles. The Flow rate is regulated by adjusting the metering valve. The liquid flow rate can be increased by rotating the metering valve knob counterclockwise and decreased by rotating it clockwise.
optimal air born suspension and insect impaction. In dry climates evaporation will tend to cause droplets to “shrink”. Therefore it may be necessary to increase flow rate to get adequate coverage. The smaller the droplet size the greater the number of droplets that are created. For example: If 1 milliliter of spray is dispersed as 20 Micron droplets, there will be 239 million droplets produced.
Formulation Tube Valve Knob See Detail “A” Detail “A” Approximate flow rates for the valve position settings are as follows: FIGURE 5 Position Flow rate* Droplet Size (VMD) 6 oz/min (177 ml/min) 10-20 7.5 oz/min (222 ml/min) 20-30 9.5 oz/min (281 ml/min) 30-50 *Flow rates shown are approximate and will vary depending on liquid viscosity and temperature.
cord immediately. Always disconnect the main power cord before attempting to service the machine. If it becomes necessary to disassemble the Machine for cleaning, be careful not to damage the taper of the valve stem, as this will affect the flow positions/calibration of the machine.

Steps for removing the metering valve and formulation filter 1) Using the 5/16 allen wrench provided with your Hurricane ES, loosen the set screw located in the knob assembly, and remove the knob assembly. 2) Using a flat blade screw driver, push the plastic drive rivet out of the formulation tank (See diagram “A”).
Troubleshooting Important: When dealing with any service or repair issue that requires accessing the inside of the blower housing, always have the machine serviced by a qualified factory representative.
