Observed 
Symptom 

Probable Cause 

Suggested Remedy

 

Sump fire 

Check system and repair 

Low oil level or no oil 

Check system and repair 

Air flow meter stuck 
at "0" CFM 

Magnet uncoupled in 
meter 

Turn air flow on and off to re-couple 

Air flow meter stuck 
at high CFM 

 

Move large amounts of air out discharge and turn air flow on and off to re-couple 

Poor foam (wet or 
dry) or no foam 
(assuming air 
pressure to 
discharges is OK) 

Using wetting agent and 
not foam concentrate. 

Use foam concentrate 

Foam proportioning 
control turned too low. 

Increase amount of concentrate delivered to manufacturer recommended amount. 

Foam proportioning 
control OFF or turned 
too low, foam tank 
empty. 

Make sure proportioner is turned on, foam supply valve is open, foam tank has 
concentrate, Y strainer is clean, and supply line is connected to injector. 

Discharge hose 
shaking (slug flow) 

Foam proportioner ON, 
setting correct, and tank 
has foam concentrate, 
but not providing foam 
solution. 

Refer to foam proportioner manufacturer's instructions for detailed calibration and 
troubleshooting instructions 

Foam in the water 
system (when 
proportioner turned 
off) 

Foam concentrate was 
poured into the on-board 
water tank 

Flush tank and pump with clean water, refill 

Foam manifold drain 
lines not isolated from 
water drain lines 

Isolate to separate drain valve 

Cooler line plumbed 
from foam manifold 

Relocate line to discharge side of pump 

Foam manifold check 
valve defective 

Rebuild/replace check valve 

Water in 
compressor oil/air 

Leaking inside cooler 
Freeze damage 

Isolate cooler and check for leaks, replace if needed, check drain 

Defective air check 
valves 

Replace or check 

Missing air check valves 
for discharges 

Install check valves 

 

 

 

Clutch smoking 

Engaging in RUN 
position 

Engage in AUTO/UNLOAD only 

Slight air leak from 
solenoid to clutch 

Repair air leak
