MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES
6
1.
Place the HURRICANE machine in the intended place, either on a fl at and stable surface
or hung on a truss structure using two clamps (not included) screwed into the nut anchors
(13). Ensure the machine with safety cables. If you fi x the machine on a truss structure
(hanged) remove the counterweight (7) of the machine.
2.
Orientate the output (1) to the desired angle or direction and secure it by tightening the
hinge clamp(8).
3. Move the counterweight (7) towards the edge of the machine, just behind the output of
confetti (1)
4.
Connect a Powercon-Schuko cable (not included) to the power Input (9) of the machine. If
you want to activate several devices simultaneously from the same power control, simply
link the machines by connecting a Powercon cable (male-female), connected on the Power
output (10) connector of the 1st machine, to the Power Input (9) of the next device, and
so on.
5.
You can use diff erent control systems to fi re the device/s (eg: 1 CHANNEL FX PUSHER,
1 CHANNEL DMX SWITCH, etc.). Once connected your control system, make a shooting
test without opening the tap of the CO2 bottle. If the setup is correct, the led indicator (14)
will light on, while you are doing the fi ring test.
6.
Connect the high pressure hose (12) to the gas bottle (with a bottle adaptor with fast
coupling, or a bottle adaptor with purger… depending on the CO2 accessories supplied).
You can either use CO2 gas, CO2 liquid or even Nitrogen which is more powerful. But
only when using liquid CO2 (the bottles with a CO2 probe or pipe inside), you will have in
addition the eff ect of white smoke, as a CO2 Jet.
7. Connect the other end of the high pressure hose (fast coupling female) to the fast coupling
male (11) of the HURRICANE machine. Remember to always fi x the safety cable on both
edges of the high pressure hose, to the CO2 bottle and to the HURRICANE machine.
8. Open the gas bottle and, without activating the HURRICANE machine, make sure there
is no leak. Remember to secure the bottle with tensioners to prevent a possible fall of the
bottle.
9. Insert the short or long cartridge (2) (3) with the desired consumable inside into the
coupling for cartridge compartment (6). Put the cartridge in vertical position when using
round confetti 55mm or Holi powder. Put it in the horizontal coupling when using other
confetti shapes. The edge of the cartridge tube which is inserted in the machine must not
have any cap or stopper. The outer side of the cartridge must wear the perforated cap/
stopper (5).
10.
If you do not wish to blow confetti and just want to make a CO2 eff ect like a jet, insert a
short cartridge into the coupling for cartridge compartment (6) and put a cartridge cap/
stopper (4) on this cartridge so that to avoid the entry of air, which would be mixed with
CO2 and thus minimizing the eff ect of the CO2. Remember that for this eff ect you must
use bottles of liquid CO2 with probe.
11.
The device is now ready for use. Push your power control or activate it with another control
system for shooting the HURRICANe machine. When blowing confetti, it is recommended
to keep the HURRICANE activated for a minimum of 8-10 seconds.
