REMARKS
• The FG1 generator requires very little water pressure to work 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 FG1
generator.
• The suction power of the foam generator is related to the water pressure. Thus, this will
aff ect the maximum height with what you will be able to work. In case you have low water
pressure and consequently the machine is not able to suck the foam liquid you will need
to elevate the jerrycan of foam fl uid or either use a pump.
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 generator.
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: Place the power supply (1) away from the FG1 machine where it
is protected from water and can not get wet. Connect the power supply (1) to the power
source via power input socket (2). Make sure that the socket has earth. Connect the
power cable FG1 (7) to the low voltage output socket (5) of the power supply. Keep the
power supply switch (3) turned off (position 0).
5. Start-up: Start the generator by turning on the power supply (3) (position I). Then open
the water tap (10) and start the pump of the tank in case you work with tank and pump.
The generator FG1 will draw some water and immediately after that it will start to produce
foam.
6. Shutdown and Disassembly: Close the general key of your water supply or turn off the
pump of the tank if you work with tank and pump. Then turn off the power supply (switch
(3) to position “0”). Then proceed to disconnect the machine.
