1” Sections of Velcro, 4 ea.
*
15’ Section of Vinyl Foam Tubing, 1 ea.
*
10’ Section of Air Tubing, 1 ea.
*
Cable Ties, 12 ea.
1. Attach the Tank Stands
Determine a convenient location to bolt the tank stand,
keeping in mind that the tank should be mounted near
the back of the applicator and be kept in a perpendicular
position. The stand is designed to facilitate many different
mounting configurations. Often times, the bracket will
easily mount on a horizontal frame member on the applica-
tor. Attach the tank stand to the applicator using U-bolts
or hex-head bolts as needed (not supplied).
2. Set Tank in Stand
Place the tank in the tank stand and secure the cap
assembly.
3. Attach Power Unit Switchbox
Determine a convenient location to place the power
unit switchbox for ease of turning on and off. Either bolt
the box down or attach using the 1” velcro strips provided.
Secure firmly in place as needed. Route the battery cable
to the battery and secure the red wire to the positive (+)
battery post. Secure the white wire to the negative (-)
battery post.
4. Install Air Tubing
Using the smaller diameter air tubing, connect the tubing
to the outlet on the back of the switchbox assembly and
route back to the tank. Connect to the small inlet on the
top of the cap assembly. Secure tubing as needed with the
cable ties provided.
FIGURE 1: Parts Diagram
5. Install Foam Tubing
Cut a length of the larger diameter tubing equal to the desired
drop width of the applicator, then cut this length of tubing in
half. (For example, if the applicator’s spray width if 90 inches,
first cut a 90” section, then cut this section into two 45”
pieces.) Install the foam tubing tee to connect the two pieces
of tubing, then mount this assembly to the spray boom using
the cable ties provided. Next, cut and install a length of tubing
to connect the cap assembly outlet on the tank to the foam
tubing tee on the spray boom. Cut two additional lengths of
tubing to use as drop tubes at the end of the tubing assembly.
When positioned and cut correctly, the drop tubes should be
about 6 inches above the applicaton canopy to prevent the
foam drops from blowing off course. Insert the foam tubing
elbows into the foam tubing at the end of each boom Insert
the drop tubes into the foam tubing elbows. Insert collector
heads into the bottom of the drop tubes.
For single drop applications, cut a length of tubing to connect
to the cap assembly outlet on the tank and the desired foam
drop location. Install the collector head and secure with cable
ties as needed.

TO USE YOUR NEW TURF TRACKER 3301
FOAM MARKING SYSTEM:
Your
TurfTracker
3301 Foam Marking System
is designed to operate with liquid dishwashing soap
and distilled water. The operator may need to alter
mix rates and products used to get the desired
results.
1. Add Distilled Water
Fill the tank ¾ full with distilled water. The manufac-
turer recommends using distilled water- use of any
other water source may decrease performance of the
unit. Overfilling the tank will initially decrease
performance.
2. Measure & Add Liquid Dishwashing Soap
Add 1-3 Tbls. of liquid dishwashing soap to
the water. It is recommended that you first
mix 1 Tbls. of soap and check the foam output
of the unit. Increase soap concentration as needed
to get the desired foam output. Performance of
the foam marking unit may vary with different
kinds of dishwashing soap. If foam output is poor,
try a different kind of soap.
This unit is designed
for LIQUID dishwashing soap.
3. Shake Bottle
Replace the cap assembly onto the tank, making
certain the cap gasket is in place. Shake the bottle a
few times and return assembly to the tank stand.
Reattach the hoses.
4. Run for 30 Seconds
Turn on the power unit and let run for 30
seconds until foam output is consistent.
Begin fertilizing with your new foam marking
system. Remember that the marker is marking
the edge of your lawn treatment, not your
wheel tracks. Adjust your treatment path to
eliminate unsightly skips and overlaps.
