WARNING
!
1. Safety
PEOPLE OR OBJECTS CAN BE HURT OR DAMAGED IF THIS UNIT IS NOT USED CORRECTLY!
Failure to read all the instructions before operating the unit may result in personal injury
or death from the improper use or the chemical solution. Anyone handling, operating
or using the unit must read, and understand, the instructions in the manual. The buyer
assumes all responsibility for safety and proper use in accordance with the instructions.
Using, or servicing, the unit without proper protective clothing,
gloves, and eye wear may result in serious injury such as burns,
rashes, eye, throat or lung damage and death. Always wear
protective clothing, gloves, and eye wear when using, or servicing,
the unit. Protect eyes, skin, and lungs against drifting spray.
Chemical solutions may pose a health risk and death if they contact the skin or eyes,
are inhaled or swallowed. Always read, and follow, all chemical safety precautions and
handling instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer and the Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) associated with the chemical solution being used before using the unit.
Pressure within the equipment may cause an unexpected release of the chemical
solution and cause serious injury such as burns, rashes, eye damage, throat or lung
damage and death. Always depressurize and clean the unit after each use. Release any
remaining air pressure by twisting the pressure relief valve to the right ½ turn. Never
leave the unit unattended while pressurized.
Using the unit with fluid temperatures above 100°F (37.77°C) may result in scalding,
burns, serious injury or death. DO NOT use a solution with a temperature above 100°F
(37.77°C).
Operating the unit when damaged or leaking may result in exposure to chemical
solutions, serious injury or death. Never use the unit if it is damaged or leaking.
Never point the discharge wand at yourself, another person, or any object you do not
want covered in chemical.
Using incoming air pressure exceeding 100 psi (7 bar) may result in pressure buildup,
explosion, serious injury or death. DO NOT exceed 100 psi (7 bar) incoming air pressure
when operating the unit.
Use of hydrocarbons and flammable products may result in explosions, fire and serious
injury or death. Never use hydrocarbons or flammable products with the unit.
Mixing an alkaline with an acid may result in a chemical reaction. Overheating of the
mixture may cause it to splatter caustic compounds or release hazardous fumes, gas
and vapors. Always flush the unit with fresh water for five (5) minutes when switching
from an alkaline to an acid or an acid to an alkaline.

NOTICE
Servicing, or modification, of this unit with parts not listed in this manual may cause the unit to
operate improperly. Do not use unauthorized parts when servicing the unit.
Use of an air lubricator before the unit may result in diminished performance and damage to the
unit. Do not use an air lubricator before the unit.
Moisture in the air lines will damage the pump and diminish the pumps life. The air must be filtered,
clean, dry and free of moisture. If needed, install an air dryer before the unit.

3. Operation
1. Fill the tank with water.
2. Follow all instructions from chemical
manufacturer. Fill the chemical container with
chemical concentrate.
2a. Fill Perafoam chemical container with
Athena®Perafoam.
2b. Fill Reset chemical container with
Athena®Reset.
3. Connect each suction line to quick-connect
fittings on 5 gallon chemical jugs.
4. Verify that the suction line valve at the base of
the suction line is open, to allow fluid into the
suction line.
5. With the discharge ball valve in the closed
position, plug an air line into the air fitting.
6. Slowly open the discharge ball valve to begin
foaming. The discharge ball valve should be
completely open while foaming.
7. While the unit is running and discharging
product, adjust the flow control valve as
needed to regulate the wetness or dryness of
the foam following the steps below:
a. Close needle valve completely in
clockwise direction.
b. Open needle valve in counter-clockwise
direction 3 complete turns.
c. Continue to open needle valve in ¼
turn increments, allowing 30 seconds
between adjustments, until desired
consistency of foam is achieved.
8. Close the discharge ball valve to stop foaming.

After Use Instructions
11. Disconnect the chemical intake lines from
the chemical containers and connect it to a
container of clean water. Make sure that the
unit tank still contains water.
12. Activate the unit and allow it to run for 2-4
minutes, or until all chemical has been
flushed from the system.
13. Disconnect the air line from the air fitting.
14. Open the discharge ball valve to relieve any
pressure remaining in the system.
15. Close the ball valve after all pressure has
been relieved from the system. Store the
unit with the discharge ball valve in the
closed position.

4. Maintenance
Performing any maintenance with the unit
turned ON, plugged into an electrical power
source and connected to the air and water
supply may result in serious injury or death.
Always ensure that the unit has been turned
OFF, unplugged from the electrical power
source, and disconnected from the air/water
supply before conducting any maintenance.
WARNING
!
NOTICE
Servicing, or modification, of this unit with
parts not listed in this manual may cause
the unit to operate improperly. Do not use
unauthorized parts when servicing the unit. Use
of unauthorized parts will void the warranty.
To keep your foam unit operating properly,
periodically perform the following maintenance
procedures:
• Inspect the pump for wear and leaks.
• Inspect all hoses for leaks or excessive wear.
Make sure all hose clamps and push-fittings
are in good condition and properly secured.
• Replace the filter located within the air
regulator as needed. Clean by unthreading the
air regulator bowl from the air regulator.
• Check the chemical metering tip, suction line
and strainer for debris and clean as needed.
• Drain your air compressor tank on a regular
basis to help extend pump life. An air source
with a high moisture content will accelerate
pump wear.
Note: If your air source has a high moisture
content, you may wish to install a water
separator (item number WS-20CFM, sold
separately) before the unit.

Page 11Athena®Reset Foamer
5. Troubleshooting
Issue Solution
Air regulator bowl or air
filter has debris such as
water, oil, or rust particles
• Clean by unthreading the air regulator bowl from the air regulator.
Pump is cycling improperly
due to lack of air pressure
• The flow control valve is open too far. Close and readjust the flow control valve as
described in the Operation section.
• Ensure proper foaming chemical and concentration are being used.
Air passes through the
pump without cycling • The pump needs to be replaced.
The solution backs up into
the air regulator bowl • The check valve needs to be replaced.
Foam comes out wet, no
matter where the needle
valve is positioned
• Check for proper air pressure on the air gauge. The air regulator is factory set
at 50 psi (3.4 bar). Operating range is 40 to 80 psi (3 to 5 bar) with 5 to 10 CFM
(141.6 to 283.3 l/min).
• The check valve may need to be replaced.
The unit operates at a
reduced pressure
• Check the chemical metering tip, suction line and strainer for debris or damage.
Clean or replace as needed. To prevent damage to the unit, the strainer must
always be used.
• Check the air compressor supplying the unit. If the pressure is less than 40 psi, turn
the unit o until the compressor can catch up.
• If the air supply is 50 psi (3.4 bar) or above, check the air gauge,
which should read near 50 psi (3.4 bar). If the air gauge reads more or less
than 50 psi (3.4 bar), adjust the pressure by turning the knob on the top of the
air regulator.
• Check if the stainless steel mixing mesh is plugged. Remove and clean it by
following the instructions below:
1. Be sure the foam unit is not plugged into an air supply and be sure to
relieve all stored pressure in the unit by having the ball valve in the open
position.
2. Remove the stainless hose barb from the tee fitting.
3. Remove the screen and the mixing mesh from inside the tee fitting.
4. Clean any particles from the mixing mesh and the screen.
5. Replace the mixing mesh and then the screen into the back of the tee and
screw the stainless adaptor back into the tee. It is recommended to use a
pipe thread sealant when reinstalling the stainless adaptor back into the tee
fitting. If the mixing mesh has a lot of foreign particles in it, make sure the
strainer is still in place.
