product is within the range stated on the decal or rear panel of the product.

The product is for indoor use only! (IP20) To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not

expose the product to rain or moisture.

Always install the product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50

cm) from adjacent surfaces.

Be sure that no ventilation slots on the product’s housing are blocked.

Never connect the product to a dimmer.

Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.

Never carry the product from the power cord or any moving part. Always use the

ETUP

AC Power

The Bubble Machine has a fixed voltage power supply and can work with an input

voltage of either 120 V, 60 Hz or 230 V, 50 Hz, depending on the specific model.

To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and

wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or

refer to the product’s specification chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s

average current draw under normal conditions.

Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make

sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of

electrocution or fire.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even

if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse

Replacement

Follow the instructions below to change the fuse, if necessary.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

1. Disconnect the product from the power outlet.

2. With a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder

cap from the housing.

3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with a good fuse of the

same type and rating.

4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

Always replace a blown fuse with the same type and rating.

Bubble Machine User Manual (Rev. 04) Page 7 of 11

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in

the Safety Notes section.

Orientation

The Bubble Machine may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate

ventilation is provided around the product.

Rigging

Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy

access to the product for maintenance and fluid replenishment purposes.

Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product

can support the product’s weight. Please see the Technical Specifications section of

this manual for weight information.

When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the

product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.

When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of

appropriate weight capacity. The bracket has a 13 mm hole, which is appropriate for

this purpose.

The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the

product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.

Using tools could damage the knobs.

PERATION

Operation

1. Place the Bubble Machine on a level surface and loosen the thumbscrews on the

front of the unit for fluid tank access. Lift the cover.

2. Fill the tank with bubble fluid.

Note: We recommend using CHAUVET® bubble fluid (BJU) which has been

specially formulated for use with CHAUVET® bubble machines.

3. Lower the cover and tighten screws.

4. Plug into a suitable wall outlet.

5. Turn on the unit. For remote use, move the switch to Remote and use the optional

remote controller to operate the bubble machine.

Note: Do not leave unused fluid in the reservoir for an extended period. The

fluid may thicken in the reservoir.

AC-W wireless controlle

is now available for use with the

Bubble Machine. The AC-W is a wireless trigger that does not

need an external power supply — easy setup and easy teardown.

In addition, the AC-W has an operation range of 100 ft.

(unobstructed) for increased flexibility enabling the attached

machines to be triggered from almost anywhere.

ECHNICAL

NFORMATION

Product

Maintenance

Dust build up reduces output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to

reduction of the product’s life and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance

and minimize wear, you should clean your products frequently. However, be aware that

usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the

cleaning frequency.

After every 40 hours of continuous operation or when the machine will be idle for a long

time it is recommended to rinse the bubble wands and fluid tank with warm water to

prevent a build-up of residue which could reduce performance.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

While the unit is unplugged, loosen the thumbscrew and lift cover to reveal the fluid

tank.

Empty all bubble fluid from the tank and replace with warm water.

Plug the product in and allow it to run as usual until all wands appear to be free of

residue.

Always dry the surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

Do not spin the fan using compressed air because you could damage it.
