5. Having selected the required mode, switch on the mains power by depressing switch (10). The
red light (13) will illuminate. Operation of the unit will be confirmed by the green light (14)
illuminating, and a fine even mist will emerge from the funnel.
6. Avoid operating the unit such that the room or venue becomes too heavy with mist. The
maximum acceptable level will be when the mist is just visible to the eye. Please refer to the
useful tips section of this manual.
7. EXTENSION HOSE. The CIRRO MK3 tank can also be operated remotely from the trunk. A
standard 16 metre extension is available as an optional extra. First switch off the mains power
and then disconnect the air line at the quick release coupling by pushing down the outer ring.
Lift the tank clear of the compartment and position where required. Reconnect the air supply
using the extension hose and then operate the unit as described above.
WARNING:Do not operate the unit with the air line blocked. This will put undue strain on the
compressor and shorten its working life.
WARNING:It is most important that water vapour does not mix with the oil in the tank. Should
the extension hose be particularly cold and there is the possibility of water vapour forming then it
should be flushed out prior to connection to the tank by running the system with the tank
disconnected until all moisture is expelled.
8. Never tip the trunk off its wheels and when in transit use the two corner locking wheels (7) or
straps to ensure proper containment.

USEFUL TIPS
1. Always use the Cirrus fluid. Operation with any other liquid will invalidate the guarantee and
invalidate the COSHH health and safety approvals for the unit.
2. The CIRRO MK 3 machine incorporates the CIRRUS system which has been COSHH tested
in the UK. It is on the approved list for use in areas of public entertainment.
3. The machine will provide a fine even mist. The recommended level for use in an eight hour
day is 5mg/CuM (reference OSHA), and this represents a fine mist, NOT fog or smoke.
When the mist is just visible with the eye, this represents a maximum working concentration.
4. Position the tank or case downwind of the prevailing draught. If required an additional fan can
be used , but this must always BLOW the mist. Never extrude the mist through the fan as this
will result in loss of output and heavy oil build-up on the fan blades.
5. The mist will always rise or fall to the coolest areas. In very humid conditions use of a heavy
duty fan might be required to avoid the mist becoming localised.
6. Never use a hose on the funnel output (1) as this will result in loss of output.
7. It is NOT important to position the tank near to where the mist is required as this type of effect
is ambient rather than localised.
