STEP THREE:

• Aach the foam marker support bracket (supplied with

the kit) to fuel tank support. 2 CB-1434SS and 2 HFNCS-

38S (supplied with the kit). Leave the bolts loose.

STEP SIX:

• Remove the plasc cap from “aux 3” in the panel and

route the wiring harness down through the hole in

the dash panel.

• Aach the “rocker switch” to the dash panel.

STEP SEVEN: Connue to route the wiring harness down

through the uprights aaching it with zip es as neces-

sary.

LONG SIDE

NOTE:

• The long side of the rocker switch should face down.

• Remove ‘L” bracket from the harness before installa-

on.

STEP EIGHT:

• Connect the ground wire from the wiring harness to

the up right cross member.

• Route the power wire neatly down and along the

frame to the baery.

STEP NINE: Plug the pump power connector from the

harness to the foam marker power connector.

NOTE: Do not connect the Power wire unl all connec-

ons are made, (see step ten)

STEP TEN:

• Reconnect the baery power wire rst along with

the yellow power wire from the wiring harness,

and then reconnect the ground wire.

• Reinstall and connect the fuel tank.

CAUTION!

-Beware of excess fuel in the lines.

-Fuel spillage.

WARNING!

-Flammable gas.

STEP ELEVEN:

• Connect the “y” adapter assembly to the push lock

elbow ng on the foam marker.

• Using the supplied tubing and hose wrap, cut and

route the tubing from the “y” adapter along the

frame and up to the foam marker. Be sure to leave

enough tubing for the boom to extend, g. one.

• Connect the tubing to the foam marker, the top is air

and the boom is liquid for both le and right side.

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.

• Start the machine and acvate the foam marker

and let it prime unl it starts dropping suds.

• Turn the foam marker and machine o, Adjust the

foam marker for desired ming.

A - Flow control valve,

• Rotate the knob clockwise to decrease foam output.

• Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to increase foam

output.

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.
