FILLING THE TANK
1. BE SURE POWER UNIT IS TURNED
OFF. Remove the cap from the top of
the tank.
2. Starting with a small amount of water
(2 gal), mix the foam concentrate
according to the label directions. If con-
siderably more concentrate is needed
above the manufacturer’s suggested
ratio (usually 2-5 ounces per gallon) to
produce good foam, use of a softener
or soft water may be required. If the
foam is too stiff (dry), it may surge out
at irregular intervals. Under this condi-
tion, water should be added until the
foam becomes more wet.
3. To ensure proper mixing of foam con-
centrate and water, you may find it nec-
essary to partially fill the tank, add the
foam concentrate, then completely fill
the tank.
4. Replace cap at the top of the tank.
FLOW CONTROL VALVE / TUBING CONNECTIONS
The flow control valve regulates the amount of foam solution flowing to the foamheads.
To increase liquid flow, turn the adjusting knob counter-clockwise. This valve has been
factory preset at ½ turn open. This setting provides for a moderate foam output.
