    Operation Proper application of formulation with this machine requires 7 basic steps as follows: 1. Determine the APPLICATION RATE of the formulation from the formulation label. 2. Measure and calculate the ENCLOSED VOLUME to be treated in cubic feet. 3. Multiply the APPLICATION RATE by the ENCLOSED VOLUME to arrive at the AMOUNT REQUIRED.

Using a stopwatch or a watch with a sweep second hand, determine the FLOWABILITY TIME in seconds that it takes for the liquid level to COUNT SECONDS IT TAKES fall from the top line to the bottom line.

    Application 1. Determine the required Machine Valve Setting and application time according to the instructions under PREPARATION. 2. Set the Machine Valve to the required setting. 3. Place sufficient formulation in the container to ensure that the Pickup Filter remains submerged during application.
  • Page 11: Valve Adjustment

    Valve Adjustment Satisfactory performance of the metering valve depends upon the proper tightness of the nut which retains the sealing gland. If the nut is too tight, the valve will be difficult to turn. If the nut is too loose, the valve may leak air causing loss of calibration.

    GENERAL DIMENSIONS The weight of the unit is 14.2 lbs. (6.4 kg) without liquid. The Formulation Tank capacity is 1 US Gallon (3.8 L) Machine Orientation The machine allows adjusting the angle from the horizontal position to 40° from the horizontal position to 20°...
  • Page 13: Flow Rate

    FLOW RATE Turning the knob of the Metering Valve regulates the Flow Rate. If the knob is rotated clockwise, the flow rate will be reduced. If the knob is rotated counterclockwise, the flow rate will be increased. As reference, the average flow rate is shown in the bottom table at ten different positions of the Metering Valve knob.

  • Page 16: Rotary Fan Replacement

    ROTARY FAN REPLACEMENT CAUTION: The Blower of your machine rotates at a high speed (approximately 20,000 RPM). The replacement of the Rotary Fan, if required, should be performed by a certified Dyna-Fog representative. If the machine has been working in a closed room, the intake air filter gets saturated, and liquid (chemical) is introduced to the blower.
