STEP THREE:
• Aach the foam marker support bracket
(supplied with the kit) to fuel tank sup-
port. 2 CB-1434SS and 2 HFNCS-38S
(supplied with the kit). Leave the bolts
loose.
• Aach the lower support bracket
(supplied with the kit) to foam marker
support bracket and the side of the hop-
per. 4 CB-1434SS and 4 HFNCS-38S

STEP FOUR: Aach the foam marker bracket to
the end of the boom and fasten the foam marker
to the bracket with hose clams. HFSSC-1475 (2) &
IFI-10.25-20 (2)
STEP FIVE: Cut the provided hose to length as
needed with the “tee” ng posioned to the
right as shown, route the hoses across the boom
and connect to the “tee” ng and foam markers
as shown.
NOTE: Repeat step three for the other side of the
boom.
NOTE: Before cung hoses, be sure to allow
enough length to extend and fold the boom on
both sides.

up right cross member.
• Route the power wire neatly down and along the frame
to the baery.
STEP ELEVEN: Plug the pump power connector from the
harness to the foam marker power connector.
STEP TWELVE: : Once all hose connecons and wiring con-
necons are made, securely fasten the wiring harnesses to
the frame with zip es and wrap hoses with protecve rub-
ber hose wrap.
NOTE: Do not connect the Power wire unl all connecons
are made, (see step fourteen)

OPERATION
FILLING THE TANK
• Be sure the power is o and remove the cap from
the top of the tank.
• Starng with a small amount of water (2 gal.), mix
the foam concentrate according to the label direc-
ons on the foaming agent. If considerably more
concentrate is needed above the manufacturer’s
suggested rao (usually 2-5 ounces per gallon) to
produce good foam, use of a soener or so water
may be required. If the foam is too s or (dry), it
may surge out at irregular intervals. Under this con-
dion. Add water unl the foam becomes more
wet.
• Replace the cap on the tank.
CAUTION!
• Wear safety goggles & all proper clothing when operang, servicing or relling this machine.
• Always read & follow manufactures recommendaons when handling any chemical.
• Do not pump combusble liquids or vapors with this product.
• When lling the tank, add WATER FIRST and then FOAMING AGENT.
NOTE: Mixing foam takes some experience. Dierent water sources may require dierent amounts of concentrate to obtain
the desired foam density. Water hardness, pH, and impuries will aect the rate of concentrate required for a consistent, long-
lasng foam.
Dierent condions may require dierent mixing raos to produce desirable results. It’s worthwhile to determine the proper
foam/water mixing rao for your water source with the inial lling. Doing so will save me in the future and aid in consistent
foam quality.
If hard water is a problem, commercial soening agents are available. You can make your own soening agent by dissolving a
commercial water soening powder (available at most grocery stores) in hot water and adding a poron of the mixture to
your tank each me you ll. Experimentaon will reveal the correct amount to use. A good starng point is 1-1/2 ounces per
gallon of water.
Mix raos for foam concentrates adversed as 80:1 or 160:1 must be adjusted for use with your water. Such raos are only a
guideline.
Heat, humidity, & wind will also aect the life of the foam. Using a good quality marking agent, such as RUNWAY, may be very
important. Liquid dish detergent also works in the foam marker system. You will have to experiment with detergents before
using on any special turf applicaons.

1 GAL. FOAM MARKER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
• Start the machine and acvate the foam marker
and let it prime unl it starts dropping suds.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
NOT ENOUGH FOAM
• ADD MORE FOAM CONCENTRATE TO THE TANK.
• CHECK FOR HOLES IN THE AIR LINE.
• CHECK FOR PINCHED AIR OR LIQUID LINES.
• CLEAN SCREEN-STRAINER/FOAM HEAD.
• ADJUST THE LIQUID FLOW CONTROL VALVE.
WET FOAM
• ADD MORE FOAM CONCENTRATE TO THE TANK.
• CLEAN SCREEN-STRAINER/FOAM HEAD.
• REDUCE LIQUID FLOW
FOAM IS SURGING USE LESS CONCENTRATE.
FOAM DOES NOT LAST LONG ON THE GROUND
• ADD MORE FOAM CONCENTRATE TO THE TANK.
• USE A HIGH QUALITY FOAM CONCENTRATE LIKE RUNWAY.
• USE COLLECTOR HEADS.
BLOWING FOAM IN WENDY WEATHER
• USE LESS CONCENTRATE TO MAKE WETTER FOAM.
• ADD MORE WATER TO FOAM SOLUTION
• INCREASE THE LIQUID FLOW.
