1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
This portable decontamination system can be used in potentially dangerous situations. The following must be observed at all times:
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The PRO/pak Portable Foam System is a very versatile eductor-type foam application appliance. It can be used with 0.1%-1% Class A
foam concentrates for wildland, rural and urban fire suppression on Class A fuels (wood, paper, combustible materials). On Class A
materials the PRO/pak is intended to be used for direct extinguishment, overhaul, and wetting of fuels. Some foam concentrates are
corrosive, we recommend using only Class A concentrates that have received USDA and USFS approval.
On Class B materials, the PRO/pak is primarily intended to be used for vapor suppression. It can be used with 1% and 3% AFFF Class
B concentrates on flammable liquids that do not contain alcohol. It can be used with 3% and 6% Alcohol Resistant AFFF Class B
concentrates on flammable liquids containing polar solvents. It can also be used with 3% X 6% or 6% Class B foam concentrates.
Whenever possible, back up the PRO/pak with additional water/foam capabilities for added safety.
The Pro/pak can be used on ignited liquid fuels, but its foam application rate is very limited. Based on NFPA 11 this unit should not be
used on ignited Class B fuels with an area greater than 120 square feet (10 x 12 feet) or 11 square meters. The PRO/pak should not be
used on burning Polar Solvents with an area greater than 60 square feet (6 x 10 feet) or 5.5 square meters.
The PRO/pak is designed for Class A and Class B foam concentrates, but it has been used with other concentrates for other uses. If you
intend to use the PRO/pak for liquids other than Class A and Class B concentrates and water, we urge you to contact the Task Force
Tips Engineering Department. The use of other liquids may void the warranty and subject the user to hazards not addressed in this
manual. The user assumes all risks for non-intended uses.

4.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
Figure 4.0A
Figure 4.0B
5.0 FOAM SELECTION
In any eductor type system the accuracy of the foam concentrate to water ratio will depend upon the viscosity (thickness) of the foam
concentrate. The more viscous, or thick, the foam concentrate, the greater the amount of energy required to draw the concentrate into
the eductor. The viscosity of most foam concentrates changes with temperature, with some thickening to a gel at temperatures of 40ºF
(4ºC).
The PRO/pak percentage knob has two sides, the green Class A side was calibrated for 20 Centipoise Class A foam concentrates and
the red, Class B, side was calibrated with National Foam’s Universal Gold® AFFF concentrate.
Actual foam concentrations may vary with changes in water flow, foam concentrate temperature, and viscosity. The user must verify that
the performance of the concentrate is suitable for the application. In all cases, follow the concentrate manufacturer’s recommendation.
WARNING
Agent concentrates can be ineffective if not used at the correct concentration ratio. Ineffective
agents can increase the potential for injury or death. Ensure that the Percentage Knob is set to the
correct concentration ratio for the type of agent being used prior to flowing.

5.1 USING FOAM
It is recommended that the Class A foam used meets USDA Forest Service 5100-307A “Specification for Fire Suppressant Foam foe
Wildland Firefighting (Class A Foam)”, or NFPA 1150 “Foam Chemicals for Fires in Class A Fuels”.
5.2 AGENT COMPATIBILITY
WARNING
Improper use of foam or using the wrong type of foam can result in illness, injury, or damage to the
environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and fire service training as directed by the
AHJ.
WARNING
For Class B fires, lack of foam or interruption in the foam stream can cause a break in the foam
blanket and greatly increase the risk of injury or death. Follow procedures established by the AHJ
for the specific fuel and conditions.
DANGER
Mixing different types of agent concentrates or agents of the same type from different
manufacturers can cause the contents of the agent reservoir to gel and produce unpredictable
results, increasing risk of serious injury or death. To reduce the risk:
• Clean tank and agent passages thoroughly when changing agent types.
• Check agent manufacturer’s documentation for recommendations.
• Always identify the contents of the reservoir per the agent manufacturer’s Technical data Sheet.
NOTICE
Components of the PRO/pak may be subject to degradation, including corrosion, by harsh
chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite (Bleach), D-limonene, and other strong solvents. To reduce
the risk of equipment damage:
• Avoid long-term storage of agents that may damage the tank, lid, or other components.
• Empty and rinse the reservoir between use.
It is the responsibility of the end user to determine the chemical compatibility between the PRO/pak
and any solutions to be stored in it. Effects of corrosion by bleach and other disinfecting
concentrates are not covered under warranty.
NOTICE
Actual mix ratio may differ from label setting. Disinfecting concentrates have significantly lower
viscosity than firefighting foams resulting in stronger solutions. Mix ratio INCREASES at pressures
below 100 PSI (7bar), and DECREASES as pressure is increased above 100 PSI (7 bar). Verify
concentration is appropriate for the intended use.

6.0 NOZZLE SELECTION
Straight Stream Nozzle - is for Class A foam solutions. Foam expansion will be negligible. It should be used where maximum reach or
penetration is desired.
Low Expansion Nozzle - can be used with either Class A or B foam solutions. Reach is slightly less than the smooth bore. It should be
used on Class B fires for extinguishment and Class A fuels to soak the fuel with a wet foam solution.
Medium Expansion Nozzle - produces the greatest expansion ratios. It should be used on Class B fuels for vapor suppression and
Class A fuels when a longer lasting insulating layer of drier foam is desired.
Figure 6.0A
Piercing Nozzle - is for use with Class A foam solutions in deep-seated fires. Foam expansion will be negligible. It can be used where
an application of solution is needed but the location is inaccessible. The piercing nozzle is not designed to pierce metal and other hard
objects. To use behind hard surfaces, punch a hole first.

7.0 OPERATION
Figure 7.0
7.1 HOSE CONNECTION
Attach inlet fire hose to the coupling on the inlet end of the PRO/pak. Larger hoses may be used with an adapter. For maximum
maneuverability, we recommend attaching 1” hose to the PRO/pak itself.
7.2 FILLING THE TANK
Unscrew the fill port lid by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank to bottom of fill port. Agent may seep out the vents if overfilled. Close the fill
port lid by turning clockwise.
7.3 CONNECTING DISCHARGE HOSE AND NOZZLE
The nozzle may be attached directly to the quick-connect fitting on the control block or to the end of the outlet hose which is then
attached to the control block.
1. Align the marks on the quick-connect male fitting with the marks on the female fitting and push the two pieces together.
2. Twist the nozzle or hose one quarter turn to the right to latch the quick-connect fitting.
3. To remove fan nozzle, remove set screw.
4. Hose lengths available. TFT part U-HS6, U-HS12, and U-HS25.
7.4 SETTING CONCENTRATION
Remove the nut on top of the percentage knob and lift the knob to select the proper foam concentrate type. Replace the knob nut. Turn
the knob to the desired concentrate percentage. The percentage knob may be turned to the OFF position for water only use. Be sure to
use the foam manufacturer’s recommended concentrate ratio.
7.5 CONTROLLING FLOW
Pressurize the hose line. Turn the flow control valve to start water flowing through the PRO/pak. Flow may be reduced by partially
closing the control valve.
CAUTION The PRO/pak’s eductor will not function if the back pressure from the outlet hose or nozzle is too
high. To reduce the risk of injury or death due to a non-functioning unit:
• Never use hose longer than the 25’ (7.5m) U-HS25 optional hose.
• Never add additional hose, or use other manufacturer’s hose assemblies and nozzles.
CAUTION There is no check valve in the PRO/pak eductor system. Installing a shut off valve between the
PRO/pak and the fan nozzle can cause the agent tank to fill with water and dilute the agent
concentrate resulting in ineffective agent. Never install a shut off valve between the PRO/pak and
the fan nozzle.

7.6 FOAM QUALITY
Foam quality with the Medium Expansion Nozzle will depend upon the velocity of the foam solution exiting the nozzle. When pumping
high pressures to the PRO/pak, it may be necessary to partially close the flow control valve to make good foam with the Medium
Expansion Nozzle. If the foam exiting the Medium Expansion Nozzle is not a coherent continuous stream, close the flow control valve
slightly until the foam becomes a coherent continuous rope-like stream.
TO SHUT DOWN
To prevent concentrate from drying in the agent passages the following
is recommended. While still connected to water supply, remove Circle
Cotters and Pull Pins. Remove Control Unit from tank. Attach the Cap
directly to the Quick-Connect on the Control Block. Turn the valve
halfway on until the discharge is agent free. This will backflush a small
amount of water through the agent passage. Rotate the Percentage
Knob back and forth to make sure all agent passages are flushed.
TO CLEAN OUT IF PLUGGED
Remove screw #2, spring #3, and knob #4. Inspect the underside
of the knob. Make sure the agent passages are clear. Do not
scratch the flat face of the knob. Inspect the 2 holes in the top of
the Control Block #5. If they are plugged, pull pins #1, remove
Block Assembly and clean out Pickup Tube and holes.

7.7 SHUT DOWN AFTER USE (FLUSHING)
PRO/pak should be flushed with water after each use to prevent agent concentrate from drying out inside of the Control Block and
Percentage Knob.
1. Reduce pump pressure to 100 psi or less.
2. Remove the nozzle and/or hose from the quick-connect on the front of the Control Block.
3. Remove the Circle Cotters and pull out the two Pull Pins that hold the Control Unit to the tank.
4. Pull straight up to remove the Control Unit and Pickup Tube from the tank.
5. Make sure the Percentage Knob is NOT in the RINSE position.
6. Install the Cap on the outlet of the Control Block.
7. Turn the Flow Control valve until a trickle of clean water is flowing from the end of the Pickup Tube.
8. Turn the Percentage Knob back and forth to make sure all agent passages are flushed.
9. Shut off water and reinstall the Control Unit on the tank and insert the Pull Pins and circle cotters.
10. Remove the Cap.
The exterior of the PRO/pak can be washed off with the hose or straight stream nozzle, with the percentage knob in the OFF position.
7.8 STORAGE
The PRO/pak can be stored with agent concentrate in it. Make sure the
control block and valve assembly is mounted on the tank and the fill
port is securely closed to prevent evaporation. Storage in the upright
position is recommended to avoid agent leaking when the PRO/pak is
not in use.
