Introduction
General
The FOG CANNON® was conceived to solve the problem of abating fumes and settling
particulate matter following mining activities, demolition works, and movement of loose,
dusty materials.
The FOG CANNON® is capable of settling 90% of suspended dust.
With the addition of surface-active ECS89 or ECS90, the FOG CANNON® generates a
powerful jet of atomized air and water which produces a cloud of non-toxic fog capable of
quickly settling suspended particles.
Other uses of the FOG CANNON® include: fighting industrial and forest fires, spraying
solvent in environmental emergencies, dispersing fog on runways, and applying brine or
salt to deice roads.

Use of FOG CANNON®
Unit Shutdown
DANGER
In case of danger, turn off the master switch.
The cannon stops and fog production is interrupted. Any booster pump and water
supply must then be stopped and water supply hose must be emptied.
Under normal conditions, stop water supply then switch off the fan.
Aiming the FOG CANNON®
The FOG CANNON® can be raised and rotated to treat the operating area.
Raising and Lowering: This movement is manually controlled by spring pivot. Angle
is set by the operator depending on weather and environmental conditions and
placement site, and is locked with the Elevation Locking Control.
Manual Rotation: The unit can rotate around the vertical axis up to 270 degrees. The
movement is manually controlled using the support arms connected to the rotating
basement. The rotation allows the FOG CANNON® to treat an entire intended area.
Automatic Rotation: The motor-equipped FOG CANNON® will rotate until the
sensors come in contact with the stop washers. These washers can be moved to vary
the sweep angle of the FOG CANNON® rotation.
WARNING
DO NOT PERMANENTLY REMOVE STOP WASHERS. The FOG CANNON® will
continue to rotate and the hoses and electrical cables will wrap around the FOG
CANNON®. This could result in damage and possible injury.
MANUAL
ROTATION
HANDLE
To override automatic rotation, push down the Manual Rotation Handle and rotate
to lock position. The FOG CANNON® will then rotate manually.
