START UP PROCEDURE
To Make Agent - Connect water supply. Attach the nozzle to the
Quick-Connect. Turn the Percentage Knob to the desired percentage.
Twist the Valve Handle to start water flow.
5.1 HOSE CONNECTION
Attach inlet fire hose to the coupling on the inlet end of the DECON/pak. Larger hoses may be used with an adapter. For maximum
maneuverability, we recommend attaching 1” hose into the DECON/pak itself.
5.2 FILLING TANK
Unscrew the fill port lid by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank to bottom of fill port. Agent may seep out the vents if over filled. Close
the fill port lid by turning clockwise.
5.3 CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE AND NOZZLE
1. The nozzle may be attached directly to the quick-connect fitting on the control block or to the end of the outlet hose which is then
attached to the control block. Align the marks on the quick-connect male fitting with the marks on the female fitting and push the
two pieces together. Twist the nozzle or hose one quarter turn to the right to latch the quick-connect fitting.
2. To remove fan nozzle, remove set screw.
3. Hose lengths available. TFT part U-HS6, U-HS, and U-HS25.
CAUTION
The DECON/pak’s eductor will not work if the backpressure from the outlet hose or nozzle is too
high. The 25’ (7.5m) U-HS25 optional hose is the maximum length that will work with the DECON/
pak. Adding additional hose, or using other hose assemblies and nozzles, may cause the DECON/
pak to not function properly.
CAUTION
There is no check valve in the DECON/pak eductor system. Do not install a shut off valve between
the DECON/pak and the fan nozzle. This can cause the agent tank to fill with water and dilute the
agent concentrate.
5.4 SETTING AGENT CONCENTRATION
Turn the knob to the desired concentrate percentage. The percentage knob may be turned to the RINSE position for water only use.
Be sure to use the agent manufacturer’s recommended concentrate ratio.
5.5 CONTROLLING FLOW
Pressurize the hose line. Turn the flow control valve to start water flowing through the DECON/pak. Flow may be reduced by partially
closing the control valve.
