AC Power
The B-250 Bubble Machine has a fixed voltage power supply and can work with an input voltage of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 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.
Fuse
Replacement
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.
Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.
1. Disconnect the product from power.
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.

Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
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. 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 13-mm holes, which are 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.

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:
1. While the product is unplugged, loosen the thumbscrew and lift cover to reveal the fluid tank.
2. Empty all bubble fluid from the tank and replace with warm water.
3. 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.
