Preparing for the Install
Consider the information below before you begin installing the foam system.
•
Determine the install location for the components, consider wire and hose
routing, mounting locations and maintenance requirements.
•
Locate the pump as close to the supply source as possible. Install it in a
clean space where it can be easily inspected and maintained. Allow room for
checking the oil level, changing the oil and general servicing.
•
Do not remove the components from the bracket and install them directly to
the apparatus. Doing so will void your warranty.
•
Position the pump assembly in an area that is protected from road debris and
excessive heat buildup.
•
Be aware that most water tank manufacturers incorporate a foam tank into
the booster tank.
•
When specifying an integrated foam tank, ensure that you include the
installation of the optional low tank level sensor as well as the foam suction
connections and tank drainage according to NFPA guidelines.
•
Determine a location for the OIT on the operator panel of the equipment.
