Preparing for Operation

To prepare the Vesuvio II for operation:

1. Pull out the fluid tank and remove the cap.
2. Verify that the two plastic hoses attached to the inside of the cap are in place and in good condition.
3. Pour Chauvet (QDF) fog fluid inside the tank, and re-cap.
4. Make sure that the plastic hose that goes from the cap to the fogger is not bent.
5. Reinsert the tank.
6. Plug in power and wait approximately 7 minutes for warm-up to complete.

When storing the product, ALWAYS be sure to store the fluid tank with the cap up as seen on the Product Mounting Diagram before installing the front cover to avoid tube damage that may cause leakage.

Only use Chauvet approved (QDF) fog fluid. Otherwise, you might not have satisfactory results. In addition, unapproved fluid can damage the Vesuvio II or cause harm to humans or animals.
