6.1 Assembly
Fig. 2:
x
Firmly screw the foam adjustment unit (

) with
the nozzle attachment (
h
) hand-tight onto the
spray tube. Do not use any tools!
x
Fasten the threaded collar (
k
) on straight and
firmly screw the spray tube (
f
) with O-ring
(16x3 mm) hand-tight onto the shut-off valve (e).
Do not use any tools!

When your work is completed, the spray tube
should be fitted into the holding clamp at the pump
handle (
c
).
Please put the foam adjustment unit (
g
) completely
up.
6.2 Checking for operationally safe condition
Subject the foam sprayer to a visual inspection
before every use. There must be no cracks evident
at the tank (
a
), the pump handle (
c
), the foam
adjustment unit (
g
) and the nozzle attachment (
h
).
The following inspections must be performed at
first commissioning and at recommissioning after
extended standstill. During use of the foam
sprayer, proper function generally must be verified
in operation.
x
Tightness of all sprayer parts at maximum
admissible pressure with the hand valve opened
and closed

Function of all working parts (hand valve, pump,
pressure relief valve)
For this, build up pressure across the pump. The
pressure must escape with a clearly audible sound
when you actuate the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2).
The device always must be vertical when the
pressure relief valve is actuated. Attention: Keep it
away from your face!
Check the function of the shut-off valve during
application. When releasing the shut-off valve,
spraying must stop.
In case of irregularities, damage, leaks or limited
function, do not use the sprayer but have it
checked in a specialist workshop without delay.
