Set-up & Operation

 

Step 1 

-

 Once foam reaches the generators, turn both generator valves off.

 

Step 2 

-

 Turn the supply valve to the handheld nozzle on.

 

Step 3 

-

 Once the nozzle is in position, open the valve on the nozzle itself to begin applying foam.  

 

To return to normal foaming, close both valves to the Handheld Nozzle and reopen both Generator Valves. 

 

Application with Optional Handheld Nozzle

 

If your unit is equipped with the optional Handheld Nozzle, the trolley operator can apply foam using the 
handheld nozzle to reach the corners of the house.  Before using the handheld nozzle, the trolley operator 
must first wait for foam to appear at the generators.  

 

Step 1 

-

 Turn on the Injection Pump #1 switch on the control panel.

 

Step 2 

-

 If the secondary tank is being utilized for foam additives, turn on Injection Pump #2 switch.

 

With the reel inlet pressure at 125 PSI it will take several minutes for the water/foam solution to reach the required 
consistency and begin to fill house.  

 

Injection Pumps:

 

Valve on Nozzle

 

Handheld Nozzle Supply Valve

 

Step 1 

-

 Place the PTO Rewind switch on the control panel in the Manual or Automatic position to begin retraction.

 

Manual Retraction: 

When the PTO Rewind switch is set to “Manual” the foam trolley will begin retracting.  Retraction can be stopped for 
any length of time by moving the PTO Rewind switch to the center or off position.

 

 

Automatic Retraction: 

When the PTO Rewind switch is set to “Automatic” the foam trolley will begin retracting.  Retraction can be controlled 
by the trolley operator in the “Automatic” position.  The operator can interrupt retraction by shutting all of the valves 
(Foam Generator and Handheld Nozzle) off.  When this happens, the electric clutch on the Retraction Engine will dis-
engage and the Injection Pump(s) will stop.  Foam flow and retraction will begin when any of the valves are reopened.  

 

NOTE:

  The Foam Trolley Operator CANNOT adjust retraction speed.  The only function the Trolley Operator can 

control is stopping and starting trolley retraction.  The Retract Stop switch on the control panel will only stop the Re-
traction Engine.  If this is needed, press and hold the Retract Stop switch until the retraction engine stops.

 

Begin Trolley Retraction: 

NOTE: 

You do not want to start retracting the trolley until foam has reached the corners of the house and is the 

proper height.
