OPERATING YOUR ATP FOAM KIT
Before Using Your ATP Foam Kit
•
Always wear appropriate eye, ear, and body protection when operating your
QTAC unit.
Using Your ATP Foam Kit
1. Install the15 GPM aerating nozzle on the discharge booster hose.
2. Ensure a proper amount of foam concentrate exists in the foam tank (
Figure 5,
Item 1
).
3. Start the engine per the QTAC Owner’s Manual.
4. Set the foam proportioner to the desired concentrate percentage
(
Figure 5, Item 5
).
5. Once the pumping system has developed pressure, open the hose line valve to
allow a slight flow.
6. Close the 1” Pump to Tank Valve to stop the introduction of foam concentrate into
the water tank. (
Figure 2, Item 4
) Remember that if this valve is closed, a
discharge must be open to prevent pump head overheating.
7. Open the Foam Supply valve (
Figure 5, Item 3
), and the Proportioner Pressure
Valve. (
Figure 5, Item 4
)
8. Open the discharge, apply foam as desired.
NOTE:
It may take several seconds before foam becomes visible at the nozzle.
NOTE:
If a foaming agent has recently been used in the QTAC, foam may
interfere with the pump’s ability to develop a prime. If you suspect this may be the
case, you may need to repeat the priming sequence several times before the
pump is clear of foam and the pump is able to develop suction.
