Some users have experienced a splitting of the air input pipe that connects to the heater metal 'Y' piece leading to no haze output and leaking of fluid inside the machine.
Investigations have proven this to be caused by the machine being powered and fully heated but NOT operated for long periods of time (on multiple occasions).
This type of operating habit pushes the upper limits of the temperature rating of the silicon pipe used for the air line (and fluid line) attachments at this mounting point, slowly weakening the silicon pipe, and eventually leading to a rupture of the pipe.
A new 'upgrade' kit has now been been released for each model that includes a redesigned metal 'Y' piece fitting for the heater to reduce the temperature (if left to heat but not operated), uprated silicon pipe for the air line and fluid line attachments and instructions/parts for a re-routing of the internal fluid/air lines.
The JEM Hazer Pro also benefits from a redesigned air pump attachment method (parts and instructions included in the kit)
Users that are affected by this issue are advised to contact their official Martin supplier to arrange fitting/supply of the upgrade kit.
