Turf Foam Marker Unit
1. If mounting the turf foam marker on a Accu-Ag™sprayer,
place it on the center of the boom frame (Figure 2).
Attach the turf foam marker by using the included 3/8”
carriage bolts to clamp the turf foam marker frame
around the main boom tube. The unit may be mounted
in either direction on the boom.
2. Ifmountingtheturffoammarkeronanyotherapplication,
begin by choosing a convenient location that is easily
accessible for mounting and lling the solution tank. The
turf foam marker should be mounted in the center of the
machinesobothdischargehosesarethesamelength,and
where it will receive a minimal amount of dust or dirt.
3. Themountinglocationmustbeabletosupporttheweight
of the turf foam marker unit with a full solution tank.
4. Secure the turf foam marker unit by attaching the turf
foam marker frame to your equipment. Use the included
3/8” carriage bolts and ange nuts. Insert the carriage
bolts through the four square holes, which are located
on the bottom of the turf foam marker frame, and secure
them with the ange nuts.
1. The compressor wiring harness (a) has a 2-pronged plug.
This wiring harness needs to be connected to the switch
wiring harness (b) which includes the control switch.
Make sure the colors match (Figure 3).
2. The switch wiring harness (b) needs to be connected to
the battery wire harness (c) which includes the 15 amp
fuse (d). Make sure the colors match (Figure 3).
3. The battery wire harness needs to be connected to
a 12 volt DC power source. Connect the red wire to
a positive power source either at the tractor's battery
terminal or at a power access point with at least 15 amp
capability. The black wire needs to be connected to a
good ground source or to the negative terminal of the
battery.
4. Ensure that the power source is adequate, since an
inadequatepowersourcecouldcausenumerousproblems
with the turf foam marker unit. If you are using a power
access point, ensure that it has at least 15 amp capability.
5. You now need to place the switch in a location where it is
easily accessible for operation. Secure it so that it cannot
fall or become entangled and cause damage.

Discharge Tubes
Discharge Hose
1. The discharge tubes (a) dispense the foam and should
be mounted in the desired foaming position.
Generally, they are mounted at the end of a sprayer
boom (b) (Figure 4).
2. If you are mounting the tubes on a sprayer, a nozzle body
clamp (c) can be used. Simply mount the clamp on the
sprayer's boom and insert the threaded barb elbow (d)
through the hole where the nozzle body would normally
go.
3. Ensure that the discharge tube does not interfere with
the operation of the equipment it is mounted on. For
example, make sure that the discharge tubes do not
interfere with the spray pattern if you are mounting the
foam marker on a sprayer.
1. One 33’ length of 3/8” discharge hose is included with the turf foam marker and may be cut as needed.
2. Begin by attaching the discharge (e) hose to the hose barbs on the compressor on the foam marker unit.
3. It is important that both hoses are the same length. This will ensure uniform foaming from both discharge tubes. Clamp
the hose onto the hose barbs with the included hose clamps (f).
4. Route the discharge hoses (e) to the discharge tubes and attach the hose to the threaded barb elbow (d) (Figure 4).
5. If you are attaching the discharge tube to a sprayer boom, pay close attention to the positioning of the discharge hose.
The hose should be positioned in an manner such that it won't be kinked or pinched when the boom is in the folded or
unfolded position. Remember to also account for boom height adjustment or other movements that the hose will be
subject to.
6. With the discharge hoses in the correct position, fasten them with the included cable ties.
