Manual Instructions: Rotomolded Portable Foam Units | English
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Safety Instructions:
1.
Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves while
operating foam unit.
2.
Avoid contact of cleaning agent with skin and eyes.
3.
If contact occurs, see MSDS sheet for further first aid
measures.
4.
After use, relieve all remaining pressure in the system by
unplugging the air line from the unit and opening the HV60
until all pressure is released.
5.
Never point the discharge wand at anyone.
6.
Be sure to flush the unit with fresh water for 5 minutes
when switching from an alkaline to an acid or an acid to an
alkaline.
Operation Instructions:
1.
Follow all instructions from chemical manufacturer. Fill the
tank with pre-mixed solution.
2.
With HV60 in the closed position, plug an air line into the
AP25.
3. Slowly open the HV60.
4. Adjust the NV14Y to desired wetness or dryness of foam
following the steps below:
a. Close NV14Y completely in clockwise direction.
b. Open NV14Y in counter-clockwise direction 3 complete
turns.
c. Continue to open valve in ¼ turn increments allowing 30
seconds between adjustments until proper consistency
of foam is achieved.
After Use Instructions:
1. It is recommended to run a gallon of fresh water through
the unit after each use. With the HV60 ball open, run the
unit until the gallon of water has gone through the unit and
discharged out the discharge hose.
2.
Disconnect the air line from the AP25 and relieve any
remaining pressure in the system by having the HV60 in
open position.
3.
Close the HV60 when all the pressure is relieved from the
system.
Maintenance:
To keep your portable tank foamer operating properly,
periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:
1. Check the air pump for wear and leaks.
2.
Replace filter in dryer as needed.
3.
Check the suction tube and screen for debris and clean as
needed.
4. Drain compressor tank on a regular basis to ensure proper
operation of pump.
Troubleshooting Instructions:
1. Check for proper air pressure on air guage (AG100). Air
pressure is to be (50 to 60 psi (3.45 to 4.14 bar).
2.
Check ABR25 for debris such as water, oil, or rust particles.
Clean by unthreading the ABR25 from the R25.
3. Check for plugged STR34. Replace STR34 if necessary. STR34
must be used.
4.
If NV14Y valve is open too far the P56 will cycle improperly
due to lack of air pressure, if this occurs, reset NV14Y as
described in operation instruction #4.
5.
Make sure proper foaming chemical and concentration is
being used.
6. If air passes through the P56 without cycling, replace P56.
7.
If foam solution backs up into ABR25, the CV38 needs to be
replaced.
8.
If foam comes out wet, no matter where the NV14Y valve is
positioned, the CV38 may need to be replaced.
9. If the unit foams at a reduced pressure:
a. Check the air compressor supplying the unit. If the
pressure is less than 40 PSI, turn the foam unit off until
the compressor can catch up.
b. If the air supply is 60 psi (4.14 bar) or above, check the
AG100, which should read near 60 psi (4.14 bar). If the
AG100 is more or less than 60 psi (4.14 bar), adjust the
pressure by turning the knob on the top of the R25.
c. If both of the above are okay, the stainless steel mixing
mesh could be plugged. Remove and clean it by
following the instructions below:
i. Be sure the foam unit is not plugged into an air supply
and be sure to relieve all stored pressure in the unit
by having the HV60 in the open position.
ii. Remove the HBSS1234 from the SST12.
iii. Remove the screen and the mixing mesh from inside
the SST12.
iv. Clean any particles from the mixing mesh and the
screen.
v. Replace the mixing mesh and then the screen into the
back of the tee and screw the hose barb back into the
tee. It is recommended to use a pipe thread sealant
when reinstalling the HBSS1234 into the SST12. If the
mixing mesh has a lot of foreign particles in it, make
sure the STR34 is still in place.
