- Open the foam compound tank suction valve:
◊
Press switch (S6).
◊
The pilot lamp in switch (S6) illuminates.
- If required change the foam proportioning rate:
◊
Press switch (S14/1) if 3% or (S14/3) if 8% is required
otherwise 6% foam proportioning rate will be created.
- Open the desired discharge valve(s).
- Increase the pump speed slowly to desired pressure.
- The foam compound is sucked out of the foam compound tank
and the water/foam mixture, according the preadjusted propor-
tioning rate, is created.
Procedure with an external foam compound container
- Operate pump as mentioned in the
◊
"Tank Suction Operation" or
◊
"Drafting Operation from Open Water Source" chapter.
- Provide the pressure hoses with foam branch pipes.
- Connect the foam suction hose to the foam drafting/flushing
connection (J47) and put the opposite end into a foam com-
pound container.
- Close the internal flushing valve and open the foam compound
drafting/flushing valve:
◊
Press switch (S53).
◊
The pilot lamp in switch (S53) illuminates.
- If required change the foam proportioning rate:
