Installing a Mosquito
Mist Away system™ can be accomplished within a day or two depending on the
overall size of the system. Installation takes an average 10 to 15
minutes per nozzle.
TOOLS: ladder,
screwdriver, pliers, drill, tube cutter.
RESERVOIR SETUP: The reservoir must be
placed on level and stable ground convenient to a grounded power source.
It can be installed outside or inside a garage, shed, or basement.
It is VERY important
that you make sure the ground on which the reservoir will be located is
level and will remain that way under the weight of the filled reservoir
and under inclement weather conditions. The reservoir will be heavy
when filled with the diluted misting concentrate. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury or damage to the system.
TUBING AND NOZZLE
INSTALLATION: Once the reservoir has been
installed, the tubing lines can be run to the identified nozzle
locations. We recommend the nozzles be installed 12-15 feet apart for
the boundary area and 10 feet apart in and around your designated
inner-areas.

instructions on installing tubing and nozzles.
TESTING YOUR SYSTEM: The system
should be tested prior to loading misting concentrates, to ensure there are no
leaks and that all nozzles and valves are operating properly.
To test the system, remove the large white cap on the top of the system.
Do not remove the system lid.
Using a hose, fill the
reservoir ¼ full with water. Replace the cap and manually press the
on button. Check to see that all nozzles are misting, all
valves are working, and inspect each tubing connection for leaks. If
problems are found, turn off the system and correct. Repeat the
testing process until you are satisfied the system is operating properly.
LOADING THE MISTING
CONCENTRATES: After verifying the system is operating properly, the misting concentrate and water can be
loaded into the reservoir. Remove the large white cap from the top of the system.
Do not remove the system lid.
Using a hose, fill the drum
half way with water. Before loading the concentrates put on safety
goggles and gloves. When reservoir is half full, remove hose and
place a funnel into the opening. Slowly pour in a manufacturer
approved misting concentrate into the funnel. Remove funnel.
Replace hose into the opening and begin filling with water until the
liquid level reaches just below the top or the system reads 100% full.
SETTING THE TIMER:
Set the timer per manufacturer’s instructions.
INITIAL OPERATION: Please be advised,
that a large number of insects may be seen on the ground for the first week as
the overall insect population is reduced by your new system.
