2. Followallinstruconsfromthechemicalmanufacturer.
Fillthetankwithwaterandtheadvisedpercentageof
chemicalconcentrate.
3. Verifythatthevalve(PVCV34FM)atthebaseofthe
suconlineisopen,toallowuidintothesuconline.
4. Verifythattheairtriggerportiscleanandfreeof
blockagesordebris,andthedischargehoseisnotkinked
orobstructed.
5. Withthewandpointedinasafedirecon,connectanair
linetotheairinletng(AP25).
Note: When you connect the air line, listen for any sound
from the unit. If you hear the pump acvate and begin to
cycle, disconnect the air line immediately. This indicates
that there is a blockage or other problem somewhere
in the system, which could cause the unit to acvate
spontaneously. The problem must be addressed before
proceeding (see “Troubleshoong Instrucons”).
6. Placethumbovertheairtriggertoacvatetheunitand
beginfoaming.
7. Whiletheunitisrunninganddischargingproduct,adjust
theneedlevalve(NV14Y)asneededtoregulatethe
wetnessordrynessofthefoamfollowingthestepsbelow:
a. Closeneedlevalvecompletelyinclockwisedirecon.
b. Openneedlevalveincounter-clockwisedirecon2
completeturns.
c. Connuetoopenneedlevalvein¼turnincrements,
allowing30secondsbetweenadjustments,unl
desiredconsistencyoffoamisachieved.
8. Releasetheairtriggertostopfoaming.
Note:Whenyoureleasetheairtrigger,theunitwillshut
oanddepressurize.Foamthatisalreadyinthedischarge
hosemayseepout,butnomorefoamwillbecreated
unlyoucovertheairtriggeragain.
Aer Use Instrucons:
1. Openthedrainplug(DP-A)anddraintheunittank.
2. Rinsetheunittankthoroughlywithfreshwater.Then
replacethedrainplugandllthetankwithfreshwater.
3. Acvatetheunitandallowittorunfor2-4minutes,or
unlallchemicalhasbeenushedfromthesystem.
4. Openthedrainplug(DP-A)anddrainanywaterremaining
intheunittank.Thenreplaceandsecurethedrainplug.
5. Disconnecttheairlinefromtheairng(AP25).
6. Allowanyliquidremaininginthedischargehosetodrain
outthroughthedischargewandbeforestoringtheunit.
Maintenance Instrucons:
Tokeepyourunitoperangproperly,periodicallyperformthe
followingmaintenanceprocedures:
Note:Beforeperforminganymaintenance,ensurethatthe
unithasbeendisconnectedfromtheairsupplyaccordingtothe
“AerUseInstrucons.”Alsoensurethattheunittankisempty,
and/orclosethevalve(PVCV34FM)atthebaseofthesucon
linetoshutotheowofliquidfromthetank.Reopenthe
valveaermaintenanceiscomplete.
• Inspecttheairpump(P56/P56K/P56V)forwearandleaks.
• Inspectallhosesforleaksorexcessivewear.Make
sureallhoseclampsareingoodcondionandproperly
secured.
• Checktheairtriggerportonthehandlefordebrisand
cleanasneeded.Whencleaning,becarefulnottopush
debrisintotheport,asitmaybecomelodgedinsideand
createablockage.
• Cleanandreplacethelter(AFR25)locatedwithin
theairregulator(R25)asneeded.Accessthelterby

regulator(R25).
• Checkthesuconlineandstrainer(STR38-IL)fordebrisor
blockages,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(WS-20CFM)beforetheunit.

uidow.
• Checkthesuconlineandstrainerfordebrisordamage.
Cleanorreplaceasneeded.Topreventdamagetothe
unit,thestrainer(STR38-IL)mustalwaysbeused.
• Ifthepumpiscyclingbutwillnotpullproduct,andthe
suconlineisclear,makesurethevalve(PVCV34FM)at

• Checkforproperairpressureontheairgauge(AG100).
Theairregulator(R25)isfactorysetat50psi(3.4bar).
Operangrangeis40to80psi(3to5bar)with5to10
CFM(141.6to283.3l/min).
• Iftheunitoperatesatareducedpressure:
1. Checktheaircompressorsupplyingtheunit.Ifthe
pressureislessthan40psi,turntheunitounlthe
compressorcancatchup.
2. Iftheairsupplyis50psi(3.4bar)orabove,check
theairgauge(AG100),whichshouldreadnear50psi
(3.4bar).Iftheairgaugereadsmoreorlessthan50
