4. Description of the Super Foam DomeTM
The Super Foam DomeTM makes massive amounts of foam (500 cubic feet per minute
(14 m3per minute)) quickly and harmlessly with its high-powered quiet fan. The white
modulator has a thick, high output of foam that can fill a 20’ x 20’ x 6’ pit (6.1m x 6.1m x
1.8m) in less than 5 minutes. You can dance in it, ride through it and make clouds and
snow effects with it. The Super Foam DomeTM uses a clean, white, harmless, and
biodegradable fluid, which will last 5 to 10 minutes in dry conditions and dry in six to eight
hours. The Super Foam DomeTM is great for nightclubs, amusement park rides and
special events. It works well in combination with colored lighting.
5.Safety instructions
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS LISTED
BELOW MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
o RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
1. Keep all electrical appliances away from the foam area.
2. Do not touch Super Foam DomeTM or electrical connections when wet.
3. This device is to be used on normal distribution systems 230VAC/50Hz. This device is
designed to be used with a customer-supplied switched electrical outlet strip. The
switched electrical outlet strip should have a grounding conductor and a capacity of at
least 7A. To reduce risk of electrical shock, connect only to a properly grounded,
grounding type receptacle. Never remove the ground connection from the plug on the
switched electrical outlet strip, the pump or the Super Foam DomeTM unit (fan).
4. Be aware of foam accumulations near the Super Foam DomeTM electrical
source/power box. Since the Super Foam DomeTM TM is a very high output unit
capable of extreme volumes of foam, place it in an area that allows full relief of foam
from nozzle (front outlet) in all directions.
oSLIP HAZARD: The accumulation of foam on a slick floor can create a dangerous
environment, which could cause someone to fall. For safety reasons, the makers of the
Super Foam DomeTM require using this machine or Foam DomeTM Fluid on a non-slip
surface such as indoor/outdoor carpeting, turf, or asphalt.
o GLASS: No glassware or breakables allowed in foam area. If glass breaks in foam
area, evacuate all persons immediately until cleaned up.
o SUPERVISION: No pushing, shoving or horseplay allowed. No diving, running or body
bowling. Intoxicated individuals should leave foam area.
o EXPOSURE TO FOAM: Avoid prolonged eye contact. Wash eyes with water if irritated.
Always rinse body after having contact with foam just as you would after contact with
soap, to prevent excess drying of skin. If irritation or allergic reaction occurs, individual
should leave foam area immediately and wash irritated area. Do not wear soaked
clothing for more than 4 hours without rinsing.

6. Operating the Super Foam DomeTM
6.1 Selecting the location
1. Make sure unit is in a well-supported and secure location before supplying power and
fluid to unit.
2. The height of the machine above the drum decides how fast it will pump fluid. The higher
the machine, the slower the fluid will flow through to the Super Foam DomeTM. This unit
is designed to be suspended 12’ to 16’ (3.7m to 4.9m) above the floor with the fluid on
the floor. Never place fluid reservoir level with or higher than the Super Foam DomeTM as
this will cause siphoning and dripping and will not stop fluid when turned off.
6.2 Electrical Power Requirements
1. This machine requires a grounded 230VAC circuit capable of providing a minimum of
7A. During Super Foam DomeTM operation this circuit should be dedicated to the Super
Foam DomeTM. If you have any doubts about the capacity or grounding of your existing
circuits, consult a qualified electrician.
2. You must have both units connected through a customer-supplied switched
electrical outlet strip with a capacity of at least 7A in order to use this device.
6.3 Hooking things up
1. Unpack crate and remove packing materials. Inspect Super Foam DomeTM and pump for
any damage and notify CITC immediately if any problems occurred during shipping.
2. Hanging clamp is located behind the handle in the back. The safety cable is for properly
hanging the unit. Locate in open area for foam to drop to the floor. Before hanging, test
the fan in the Super Foam DomeTM unit to check for quiet operation. Hang vertically so
the fluid nozzle is facing down toward the floor. The fan unit should spin freely without
rubbing.
3. Mix fluid according to instructions. Never use concentrated fluid in this machine! Use
either a plastic 55 gal. (208 l) drum (metal will rust), or use a clean trash container heavy
enough to hold that much water. Note: Water weight is 426 lbs (193 kg)! While using eye
protection and rubber gloves, clean container if necessary and fill with 50 gals. (189 l) of
warm water first, then add the 1 gal. (3.8 l) of concentrate (use 12.8 oz (379 ml) of
concentrate for 5 gal (19 l) test) to the warm water. Mix by stirring without agitating. See
warning statement (below) about proper safety features. Place hose from pump into drum
full of Foam DomeTM Fluid mix. Connect tubing from the pump to the input tubing
connection on the Super Foam DomeTM. Be sure rubber washers are always in place
inside the hose connection before connecting. DO NOT SUBMERGE THIS PUMP.
WARNING when mixing Concentrate: USE ONLY AS DIRECTED.
Handle concentrate with care. Concentrate is an irritant to eyes. Wear eye
protection and gloves when mixing. If concentrate contacts eyes, immediately wash with

6
plenty of water, lifting eyelids for 15 minutes. Consult a physician. Prolonged contact
with skin may cause irritation. Wash with water. If clothing is wet with material, change
to clean clothes and wash affected skin. Not food quality. Do not ingest. If ingested,
treat as dish soap. Odor from this product may be irritating to some individuals.
Discontinue use and remove to fresh air. As with all surfactants, care must be used at all
times. Contact CITC for further questions or copies of the MSDS at 1-888-786-CITC or
see it posted on our website at www.citcfx.com under MSDS.
5. Run the hose from the pump to the Super Foam DomeTM. The pump must be plugged into
the supplied transformer. See Section 6.5 for information on hooking up the 230VAC
transformer used with the pump. The transformer and the Super Foam DomeTM will
then both be plugged into the customer-supplied switched electrical outlet strip. Be sure
the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the pump. When powering up
the Super Foam DomeTM unit (fan), note that the fluid will take some time to travel out
before foam is produced. Never plug the pump into a wall outlet. It must be plugged into
the outlet on the switched electrical outlet strip to insure that the pump does not come on
unless the fan is on.
6. It is important to deploy the plastic shield enclosed
in the unit. This plastic shield prevents most of the
foam or bubbles from being sucked back inside
the Super Foam DomeTM fan intake. Slide the
shield half #1 onto the fan outlet, behind the
modulator (sock) and under the tip of the molded
handle located on the blower and molded strip
under machine. Slide the shield half #2 onto the
other side so that they come together. A hole
lines up with hole from the other shield. Place the
small bolt through the hole to connect the washer
and nut. Tighten the nut securely, locking the
shield in place.
7. Make sure unit is supported and secure before supplying power and fluid to unit. Shield
should be facing the floor with the modulator (sock) pointing straight down. Never point
modulator upward as this would cause electrical damage and ruin your unit.
6.4 Operating the machine
1. Warning: Because both units need to always come on at the same time, you must have
both connected through the customer-supplied switched electrical outlet strip in order to
use this device. Review electrical connections: The switched electrical outlet strip
should be plugged into a properly grounded outlet with the power switch turned OFF.
2. Never turn on the pump without the Super Foam DomeTM fan. This will cause fluid to
pour from fan area to floor. Unplug the pump if needing to test only the fan. When done,
switch off the switched electrical outlet strip and plug the pump back in. Never operate
without all lines and hoses attached.

6.5 Pump Transformer
1. Make sure that the transformer’s switch is “off”.
2. On the back of your transformer, you will see an “Input Voltage Selector”. Make sure that
you plug it in to the option that fits the voltage of the country that you are located in.
3. The transformer’s cord has a Euro plug at its end. Plug the transformer into the wall
socket.
4. Plug your pump into the transformer. Make sure that you plug it into the correct side.
Since your pump is rated 110VAC, plug it into the 110V socket (on the left).
5. Turn the switch of the transformer on.
6.6 Clean up
1. Place a bucket under the modulator to catch falling water, and run 1-gallon (3.8 l) fresh
water thru system each night to clean equipment. Unplug switched electrical outlet strip
from power source. Wipe off output end and any excess foam. Make sure no fluid has
dripped or splashed on the electrical components. Blow-dry with an air hose if
necessary.
2. Clean up of the foam is easy. Some water may need to be mopped and removed. Use
of a wet/dry vacuum may be needed.
3. Foam DomeTM Fluid is non-toxic, clean, easy to use and can be very fluffy. Fluid will not
damage clothing. Contact your local dealer or CITC with any questions you might have.
6.7 Troubleshooting
o If unit does not start: Check electrical power for properly grounded outlet. Check
switched electrical outlet strip (see instructions in section 3.2). Check power cord
going to switched electrical outlet strip for cuts or separation
o If the fan is not operating: Check Fan separately by disconnecting the pump from
the switched electrical outlet strip. Does the fan rotate? Has foam gotten inside the
unit? Is it wet? If so, disconnect the hose and blow out the unit with an air line. If not
available, discontinue use until completely dry.
o If the fan rotates, but is not very fast: Power loss will cause this unit to not function
properly. Try plugging the fan into another outlet that is closer. Change the power
switch on the unit to the faster speed. Does it rotate faster? You need to change to a
heavier (minimum 12 awg) extension cord. Is the power supply dedicated solely to
this unit? Are you sharing power with other equipment? Try disconnecting any other
loads on the same circuit. If the fan rotates faster, then you need a dedicated power
source.
o If you are not getting fluid to the Super Foam DomeTM unit: Check pump
separately by disconnecting from the hose and by disconnecting the fan from the
switched electrical outlet strip and turning on the unit for a short time. If pump does
not work, check another power outlet. If it still does not work, replace unit by calling
for assistance.

8
o If the unit was foaming, then stops:
Check the intake hose of the pump in the bottom of the barrel. Is there sufficient
fluid? Is there dirt in the bottom of the barrel? Keep the barrel clean and
occasionally check to be sure dirt is not getting inside the barrel, as this will clog
the pump. Shut off all power, disconnect the pump from the switched electrical
outlet strip and remove the pump from the barrel. Disconnect the hoses and
check for debris or dirt that may be clogging the unit. Connect the suction hose
to the pump and plug in the pump separately to see the output, catching the
output in a bucket. The output should be open and free.
Check the nylon tubing going to the Super Foam DomeTM unit. Is it crimped or
bent in a 90 degree angle? Change the tubing.
Check the connection to the Super Foam DomeTM unit. There is a screen that
will capture dirt from entering the nozzle. Disconnect the tubing and clean the
screen at the connection. Reconnect and try again.
If still clogged at the nozzle, remove unit to outside, connect a high-pressure
hose to the nozzle connection. While holding the unit in it’s hung position so the
water will run down and out of the unit, (not up or in the unit), turn on the water
to pressurize the nozzle inside and clean the nozzle. You should have plenty of
pressure and volume to remove any clogged item. If still clogged, send the unit
back to be serviced.
o If the modulator appears to yellow or change color: Have you been rinsing the
unit after each use? Dark areas that are warm are easy for bacteria to grow. Rinse
and let the fan blow out the modulator after each use. Never leave the modulator
(sock) wet or dripping with solution.
7. Service and Maintenance
7.1 Super Foam DomeTM Pump Information
The Super Foam DomeTM pump has built-in thermal overload protection, which means
the unit will automatically shut-off when it senses it could reach an overheat level. Once
cooled down, it will reset and is ready to pump again. If the area to be drained reaches a
maximum of 1/8" (0.32cm), unplug the pump or add more foam.
NEVER place pump in fluid! Unplug or switch off the unit when fluid has drained to 1/8"
(0.32cm).
