MAINTENANCE

In order for the Germ-Fogger™ system to remain functional, the 

equipment should be cleaned  and maintained after every use.

The most important thing you can do to ensure trouble-free operation of this component is to 

rinse the nozzle out with clean water after every use. By cleaning your nozzle after each usage, 

you will avoid the long-term chemical buildup that eventually causes clogs, poor spray patterns, 

and shortened life of the nozzle components

Important

: The nozzle should never be hand-tightened. Never use pliers or 

other similar tools, as this may cause damage. If any issues continue to persist, 

remove/replace immediately. Refer to our 

Youtube Video

 on how to safely 

clean your nozzle.

1.  Quick disconnect the nozzle tip from the end of the gun. Remove the tip retention ring 

from the nozzle body base using two wrenches. 

2.  Inspect for any damage to the liquid tip, filter, and spraying capacitor. 
3.  Check for any debris and/or corrosion. Gently wash down with clean water and remove 

excess with a Q- tip or precision needle. If any issues are noted, remove/replace 

immediately. 

4.  Be sure to also thoroughly clean all exterior surfaces of the nozzle. Never use a wire brush, 

file, or sandpaper to clean any surface of the nozzle. Never spit or blow inside or around 

the nozzle component.
