Version 1.0 5. INTRODUCTION 5.1 DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION OF THE CO2 JET The CO2 Jet is intended to electronically blow white smoke plumes of CO2 from a distance. As soon as the CO2 leaves the cylinder through the CO2 Jet’s secured high-pressure hoses, it converts into gas. This formation of gas is accompanied by a strong hissing sound and a solid white plume of smoke will be visible. The length of this plume is on average 8 metres.

Use a 230V plug and make sure that the electricity is switched off! Now plug the CO2 Jet into the electricity socket. 5.
User documentation MAGICFX® CO2 Jet 7. Connect the other end of the hose to a CO2 bottle (with dip pipe). Turning it by hand will suffice! You should only use a wrench if the coupling continues to leak. 8. When the system is properly connected you can open the valve of the CO2 bottle. Check for leaks. When the gas hose is not properly connected gas can escape. If this is the case then turn the couplings tighter until gas is no longer escaping. The CO2 Jet is now ready for use.

If the problem persists, then consult the technical service of MAGIC FX. - Only a small smoke plume is visible when the CO2 gas exits the CO2 Jet. Visibility can vary due to air humidity.
