[Haunted Hayrides 2008]

Hey we had a few runs at our haunted hayride tonight. It went great but there is always a problem with the fog machines. When the trailor is coming the fog machine trigger will be lit up saying that its ready to go. As soon as the trailor comes right by the fog machine it turns off. have any suggestions as to how to get the machines to stay on when they are already warmed up?

It only takes 5 min. or less for a fogger to warm up.
The machine should be full from the start. Check the level of the fluid through out the night & don't let it get to empty. Always... always keep extra fog juice handy at all times.
Sounds like there could be an issue with your wireless remote. Did it work fine before hand? How old are the batteries? They may need to be replaced.

the remote is not wireless. We do keep fluid by the fog machines all night every night, we check the levels pretty much every few hours during the night. The remotes have always worked fine but we both dont realize that when the fogger warms up soon after it starts overheating and shuts off. so its just a matter of timing

What watts are your fog machines ? I found that the smaller 400 & 700 do that reheat on/off thing,were as my 1000 constant fogger is ready all the time with a min of off reheat times.
