prevent future safety problems with the product.
DANGER: Danger is used to indicate the presence
of a hazard that will result in severe personal injury,
death, or property damage if the notice is ignored.
•
Do not pump at pressures higher than the maximum
recommended pressure. [300 PSI (20.7 BAR)]
• Do not permanently remove or alter any guarding
devices or attempt to operate the system when
those guards are temporarily removed.
•
Always disconnect the power source before
attempting to service any part of the pump.
•
Release all pressure within the system before
servicing any of its component parts. Slowly loosen
the foam pressure line fittings and allow the
pressure to escape. Protect face and eyes from any
potential spray which may occur.
• Drain all concentrate and water from the discharge
system before servicing any of its component parts.
• Check all hoses for weak or worn conditions after
each use. Ensure that all connections and fittings
are tight and secure.
•
Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from the foam
pump outlet to the injection point, which are rated at
or above 400 PSI (28 BAR) minimum rating, at
which the water pump system operates.
• Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from the hydraulic
oil pump to the foam pump hydraulic motor, which
are rated at least the maximun hydraulic pressure
rating of the system shown in Section 15 or better
and are approved for mobile hydraulic system use.
• Any electrical system has the potential to cause
sparks during service. Take care to eliminate
explosive or hazardous environments during
service/repair.
•
Rotating drive line components can cause injury. Be
careful of rotating components when adjusting load
sense pump compensator.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the system at
or above a temperature of 160ºF (71ºC).
WARNING: Ensure that the electrical source of
power for the unit is a 12 or 24 Volt, negative ground
DC system. Power supply lines must be supplied for
the FoamPro. Power required for the valve driver
box on the hydraulic motor-driven foam pump must
have a minimum current rating of at least 5 AMPS.
CAUTION: Periodically inspect the pump and the
system components. Perform routine preventive
maintenance as required. Failure to perform routine
maintenance may cause damage to the system. See
the maintenance section of this manual for
recommended maintenance procedures and
intervals between maintenance work.
NOTE: Read and understand these installation
instructions before proceeding with the equipment
installation.
CAUTION: Use only approved petroleum-based
hydraulic fluids meeting the specifications as noted
in Section 4. Never mix fluid types. Ensure all hoses
and seals are compatible with fluids used. Do not
use water or glycol-based fluids. Do not use
phosphate ester-type fluids.
CAUTION: Dirt and contaminants are the primary
causes of premature wear and failure in any
hydraulic system. Use extreme care during
assembly and service to keep contaminants out of
the system.
