smoke discharge nozzles (1). If smoke is white
and dense, generator is operating properly.

nozzles, slowly turn oil metering globe valve
handle (2) clockwise to decrease flow of
fog oil.
c.

metering globe valve (2) counterclockwise

output, check fog oil supply. Replace
empty drum with full drum. If no smoke or
low smoke output after replacing drum,
