In addition to this user manual, the shipping carton should contain the following items:

1. B-200 Bubble Machine

2. Power cord and plug

3. 1 Mounting bracket

4. 2 pieces of tightening screws and metal screws, 5 pieces of washers, one safety ring.

If any equipment is missing contact your ANTARI dealer immediately. Before beginning with the initial setup your Bubble Machine, make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.4 Setup ․ Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed, especially in the nozzle area. ․ Place the bubble machine on a flat surface. ․ Loosen the side screws at the front of the B-200 and lift the top of the case up. This will expose the liquid tray where the bubble liquid is added. Fill the liquid to no more than 3 cm from the top of the tray. ․ Pour the bubble liquid into the liquid tray, DO NOT OVERFILL. ․ When the container is full, lower the housing and tighten the screws. ․ Attach the hanging bracket with the included tightening and metal screws. ․ Attach the M8 safety ring. This hooked safety ring can double insure the machine from falling down when installed at high positions. ․ The B-200 Bubble machine can now be positioned in the desired location. Be careful to keep the machine even while moving and installing otherwise liquid may spill out of the liquid tray. This is particularly important when the mounting bracket is used to suspend the B-200. ․ Once the machine is securely positioned and a final check is made to insure that no liquid has leaked, connect the power cord to the electrical supply. If there is any leakage or moisture on the machine, the cord or the remote, leave the machine unplugged until the B-200 is dry.5 SW.CH. DMX DIP SW.

M8 Screw Tightening screw Washer Washer Installation Install the bubble machine in a well-ventilated area. Never cover the unit’s vents. In order to guarantee adequate ventilation, allow a free air space of at least 20 cm around the sides and top of the unit. Install the device out of the public area. Please consider that liquid may be spitted during operation around the device. The resulting slippery surface can cause accidents. Position output of bubbles away from persons. The minium distance should be

1.5 m. Only install the machine on scratch resistant and water resistant surfaces.

Please make sure that the inclination angle does not exceed 15°. DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable Material (decoration articles, etc.) within a minimum distance of 0.5 m. This device is constructed for a standing installation only. If the device is to be installed overhead, the following safety instructions are binding: DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the EN 60598-2-17and the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer! The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an Dip switches M8 Safety eyelet Washer Tightening Screw Washer6 appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year. Procedure: The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property. The device has to be installed out of the reach of people. If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room. Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device! Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight. Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety- rope through the hole in the mounting-bracket and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm. A safety rope which already has held the strain of a crash or which is defective may not be used again. Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws. DANGER TO LIFE! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!7 Operation The B-200 Bubble Machine can be operated with or without the remote control.
