7.0 OPERATION

Figure 7.0

7.1 HOSE CONNECTION

Attach  inlet  fire  hose  to  the  coupling  on  the  inlet  end  of  the  PRO/pak.  Larger  hoses  may  be  used  with  an  adapter.  For  maximum

maneuverability, we recommend attaching 1” hose to the PRO/pak itself.

7.2 FILLING THE TANK

Unscrew the fill port lid by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank to bottom of fill port. Agent may seep out the vents if overfilled. Close the fill

port lid by turning clockwise.

7.3 CONNECTING DISCHARGE HOSE AND NOZZLE

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. 

1. Align the marks on the quick-connect male fitting with the marks on the female fitting and push the two pieces together. 

2. Twist the nozzle or hose one quarter turn to the right to latch the quick-connect fitting.

3. To remove fan nozzle, remove set screw.

4. Hose lengths available. TFT part U-HS6, U-HS12, and U-HS25.

7.4 SETTING CONCENTRATION

Remove the nut on top of the percentage knob and lift the knob to select the proper foam concentrate type. Replace the knob nut. Turn

the knob to the desired concentrate percentage. The percentage knob may be turned to the OFF position for water only use. Be sure to

use the foam manufacturer’s recommended concentrate ratio.

7.5 CONTROLLING FLOW

Pressurize  the hose line. Turn  the flow control  valve  to start water flowing through the PRO/pak. Flow  may be reduced by partially

closing the control valve.

CAUTION

The PRO/pak’s eductor will not function if the back pressure from the outlet hose or nozzle is too

high. To reduce the risk of injury or death due to a non-functioning unit:

• Never use hose longer than the 25’ (7.5m) U-HS25 optional hose. 

• Never add additional hose, or use other manufacturer’s hose assemblies and nozzles. 

CAUTION

There  is  no  check  valve  in  the  PRO/pak  eductor  system.  Installing  a  shut  off  valve  between  the

PRO/pak  and  the  fan  nozzle  can  cause  the  agent  tank  to  fill  with  water  and  dilute  the  agent

concentrate resulting in ineffective agent. Never install a shut off valve between the PRO/pak and

the fan nozzle.
