Fogger Will Not Light

Modified on Tue, 15 Sep at 5:57 AM

Applies to: FGI propane insect foggers sold under the Black Flag, Burgess, Cutter and Repel names (Burgess Portable Propane Insect Fogger, manual 161856; Universal Propane Powered Insect Fogger, manual 180551). Electric foggers are covered separately.

 

What causes this: The propane is not reaching the burner, or the automatic igniter is not working.

 

How to fix it:

  1. Be sure there is propane in the cylinder.
  2. If the igniter is not working, light the unit manually: place a lighter under the mesh burner cover, then open the fuel valve one full turn. Ignition takes place immediately.
  3. If the gas blows the light out, turn the gas off, wait 30 seconds, and try again.
  4. If it still will not light, call Customer Service at 1-800-311-9903.

 

Always pre-heat the fogger for at least 2 minutes, level with the ground, before pumping. Failing to pre-heat can clog the burner orifice.
