REMARKS
• The FC1 cannon require very little water pressure to function properly. If you do not have
a minimum water pressure you can use a water pump.
• It is recommended to clean the inside circuit of the machine after each use. To do this, you
must remove the foam absorber tube with fi lter (12) from the container with foam liquid
and open (“ON”) the inlet water tap (10) for a few seconds.
• If you work directly connected to the water network, always make sure that the jerrycan
with foam liquid is always below the level of the foam fl uid connection (11) of the FC1
cannon.
3/A-4- Now you can proceed with point 4 of ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION.
During the use of the machine, you may wish to let a water hose fi lling the tank
(especially if your tank is not too big). In this way, in the meantime the machine is
consuming water, you get more water inside the tank and thus it takes longer to
empty the tank.
3/B – Pumping PREMIX. Working with PREMIX means having the foam fl uid already
diluted and mixed in a tank from which the mixture is directly pumped to the foam cannon.
3/B-1. Fill your tank with water and add the foam FLUID at the rate indicated on the
bottle of your foam fl uid. Our foam fl uids are very concentrated and the suggested
dose is between 1 to 2% depending on the foam liquid acquired.
When working with PREMIX, it is then not necessary to use the absorption tube for
foam fl uid (12) provided. Thus, you must close the foam fl uid tap (13).
3/B-2. Connect the hose coming from the pump output, to the Inlet water connection (9)
on the machine. Now you can proceed with point 4 of ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION.
4. Electrical connection: The FC1 machine runs at low voltage (30v) and is waterproof.
However, it’s power supply/transformer is not waterproof and thus must be away from
water. This is why the machine is equipped with a long cable. Place the power
supply
(1) away from the FC1 machine where it is protected from water and cannot get wet.
Connect the power supply (1) to the power source via the power input socket (2).
Make sure that the socket has earth. Turn ON the power switch (3) and check that
the power LED indicator (4) is on. Connect the FC1 power cable (7) to the low voltage
outlet (5) of the power supply.
5. Start-up: Start the cannon by rotating clockwise the switch (8) to ON position. Then open
the inlet water tap (10). The cannon will draw some water and immediately after that it
will start to produce foam. You can slightly regulate the distance of the foam jet by
opening more or less the water inlet tap.
6. Shutdown and Disassembly: Close the inlet water tap (10) and then turn OFF the rotative
switch (8). Then proceed to disconnect the machine from the power supply.
