6.1 Assembly
Fig. 2:
xFirmly screw the foam adjustment unit (g) with
the nozzle attachment (h) hand-tight onto the
spray tube. Do not use any tools!
xFasten the threaded collar (k) on straight and
firmly screw the spray tube (f) with O-ring
(16x3 mm) hand-tight onto the shut-off valve (e).
Do not use any tools!
Fig. 1:
When your work is completed, the spray tube
should be fitted into the holding clamp at the pump
handle (c).
Please put the foam adjustment unit (g) completely
up.
6.2 Checking for operationally safe condition
Subject the foam sprayer to a visual inspection
before every use. There must be no cracks evident
at the tank (a), the pump handle (c), the foam
adjustment unit (g) and the nozzle attachment (h).
The following inspections must be performed at
first commissioning and at recommissioning after
extended standstill. During use of the foam
sprayer, proper function generally must be verified
in operation.
xTightness of all sprayer parts at maximum
admissible pressure with the hand valve opened
and closed
xFunction of all working parts (hand valve, pump,
pressure relief valve)
For this, build up pressure across the pump. The
pressure must escape with a clearly audible sound
when you actuate the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2).
The device always must be vertical when the
pressure relief valve is actuated. Attention: Keep it
away from your face!
Check the function of the shut-off valve during
application. When releasing the shut-off valve,
spraying must stop.
In case of irregularities, damage, leaks or limited
function, do not use the sprayer but have it
checked in a specialist workshop without delay.
7 Preparing the spray liquid and filling the
spray tank
Prepare the spray liquid according to the
instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
Always prepare the spray liquid outdoors, never in
living quarters, stables or storage rooms for food
and animal feed.
Before opening the spraying agent tank,
depressurise the device by pulling on the pressure
relief valve (Fig. 2). Before pulling on the pressure

ENGLISH 4
relief valve (d), the device must always be in an
upright position.
Attention: Keep the device away from your face!
To fill the tank with spraying agent, the pump must
be unscrewed. Push the pump handle (c) down
and turn it to the left (counterclockwise) until the
handle clicks into position.
Unscrew the pump by turning it counterclockwise.
Do not use any tools!
Fill the tank no further than to the mark “max. 9l” on
the side of the spray tank.
Overfilling the tank or spills can contaminate public
waterways, rain- and storm water channel and
must be avoided.
Wipe off spilled spray liquid without delay.
After filling, insert the pump again and refasten
firmly by turning the pump handle (c) clockwise to
prevent the spraying agent from escaping.
Refasten firmly until the pump handle clicks into
position.
8 Using the foam sprayer
8.1 Spraying
To pump, loosen the pump handle (c) by turning
out of the stop position. Pump the unit until the
operating pressure is reached in the spraying
agent tank. Excessive pressure escapes
automatically through the pressure relief valve (d).
Hold the spray wand with the hand valve.
Fig. 4:
To spray, depress the hand lever on the valve.
Release the hand valve lever to stop spraying.
The foam sprayer can also be carried by the pump
handle (c), if the pump handle is pressed down
completely, and it is turned to the right and clicked
into position.
8.2 Setting the foam consistency
Firm (dry) foam will adhere better and therefore
can act for a longer time, whereas liquid foam has
a higher concentration of spraying agent on the
area to be treated.
The foam adjustment unit (g) can be used to pre-
set consistency of the foam to be applied to match
the application.
xTurn the setting wheel clockwise (in the
direction "dry") for firmer foam.
xTurn the setting wheel counter-clockwise (in
the direction "wet") for more liquid foam.
The adjustment wheel area available for sensibly
usable levels of foam consistency differs by
spraying agent, spraying pressure and installed
spray nozzle.
8.3 Disposal of residual spray volume
Residual spray volumes of less than 200 ml
[6.8 oz] are no longer pumped effectively.
If you do not want to fill in any more spraying agent
and want to end spraying, collect and dispose of
the remaining amount according to the applicable
laws and provisions. Observe the information from
the spraying agent manufacturer.
At the end of the work, empty and clean the
sprayer according to chap. 9.2, wash face and
hands thoroughly and take off the work clothing.
Work clothing requires regular washing.
9 Maintenance, cleaning and storage
9.1 Greasing the sealing rings
Greasing the cap gasket
Fig. 5:
For proper sealing of the spraying agent tank, the
cap gasket (l) must be well greased with silicone
grease.
Greasing the pump piston sealing ring
If the pump is hard to operate, the sealing ring of
the pump piston (Fig. 9, pos. m) should be greased
with silicone grease or replaced if necessary.
Disassembly of the pump and greasing the
sealing ring:
Fig. 6: Ensure the sprayer is empty and not
pressurised. Place sprayer securely on level
ground. If the pump is completely screwed onto the
tank, loosen the pump with 1–2 turns.
Fig. 7: Firmly hold the pump handle with both
hands and push downwards until the pump
releases from the flange housing with an audible
click. Unscrew the blue flange housing from the
sprayer and remove the pump from the tank.
Fig. 8: Use a screwdriver to lever both black flange
semi-circles from the pump cylinder. The pump
piston can now be pulled from the pump cylinder.
Fig. 9: The sealing ring (j) can now be re-greased
with silicone grease or replaced if damaged.
Assembly:
Fig. 10: Place the blue flange housing correctly on
the pump piston.
Push the pump piston into the pump cylinder.
Push both black flange semi-circles onto the pump
cylinder until they lock with an audible click.
Fig. 11: Place the pump cylinder securely on level
ground. Line up the blue flange housing in the
exact position and firmly push the blue flange
housing down with both hands onto the pump
cylinder until the parts lock together with an audible
click.

9.2 Draining the spraying agent tank and
cleaning the spraying agent carrying
parts
The device must be depressurised by actuating the
pressure-relief valve (d) before opening the
spraying agent tank and before disassembly of the
nozzle attachment (Fig. 2)!
Empty the spraying agent tank after use every day.
Collect and dispose of the residual quantity of the
spraying agent according to the applicable law and
provisions. Observe the information from the
spraying medium manufacturer. Flush the spraying
agent tank and all spraying-agent-conducting parts
thoroughly with clean water. Operate the foam
sprayer once more with clear water.
Let the spraying agent tank dry again in the open
condition after cleaning.
Fig. 12: Clean the spray nozzle (h) as follows after
approx. 50 uses.
xFirst operate the foam sprayer with ½ litre of
clear water to spray out any spraying agent
residues.
xUnscrew the nozzle attachment (h) from the
foam adjustment unit (g).
xRinse components with clear water.
xOnly clean the spray nozzle with clear water and
a soft brush.
Do not blow out the nozzle with your mouth.
