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.
