Troubleshooting 

If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately and do the following: 

1) 

Check fluid level, the external fuse, remote connection and main power supply. If all appear to 

be OK, plug the unit in again. 

2) 

If snow does not come out after holding the remote control button for 30 seconds, check the 

hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose.  

3) 

If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue to push the 

remote control button as this may damage the unit. Contact CHAUVET Technical Support at the 

location below.

stored. Failure to do so will void your warranty. To purge your fogger or snow machine, follow 

the instructions below.

1) 

Drain the unit of all fluid. 

 
2) 

Fill the tank with distilled water. 

 
3)

4) Store 

your 

unit. 

 

5) 

It is highly recommended that you run your unit with its respective fluid and then purge the 

system AT LEAST once every 30 days.
