FOAMER OPERATION–
To operate the foam marking system, locate the tog-
gle switch on the top of the hydrostatic lever (fig. 70-1). Push the top of the switch left
if foam is desired from the left foam drop. Push the top of the switch right if foam is
desired from the right foam drop. Return the switch to the center position if no foam is
desired.
System pressure is indicated by a pressure gauge on the regulator which is
mounted next to the foam tank (fig. 70-2) To adjust the air pressure in the foam tank,
turn the knob on the regulator clockwise for more pressure, and counterclockwise for
less pressure. To correctly decrease the pressure in the foam tank, you must
first open either the left or right foam valve for a moment to relieve system
pressure. Then adjust regulator accordingly.
See figure below for foam drop valve configurations.
