Operation

Use Instructions

Remove all packaging from the components. Pull the green pressure release valve (a) until the red portion of the stem is showing to confirm the unit is not pressurized.
With the pump handle (b) pressed fully down, hold the unit and unscrew the pump assembly from the tank head (c) to access the filler hole (d).
Follow all instructions from the chemical manufacturer when filling the unit. Fill the tank (e) ¾ full with pre-mixed solution. Do not overfill the tank.
With the pump handle (b) pressed fully down, hold the unit and screw the pump assembly back into the tank head to close the unit.
To pressurize the tank, rotate the handle of the pump assembly until it is free then pump up the unit. The pressure relief valve (a) will begin leaking air when the tank is fully pressurized.
Once the desired pressure has been achieved, push the pump handle (b) down and rotate to lock it in place.
To start foaming, point the wand (f) on the trigger gun towards the area you wish to foam and squeeze the trigger handle (g) to discharge foam

After Use Instructions

Release air pressure from unit after each use by activating the pressure relief valve (a).
Empty out remaining solution and run fresh water through the unit to rinse all parts thoroughly after each use and before storage.

Maintenance Instructions

To keep your unit operating properly, periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:

Check the pump assembly for wear and leaks.
Check the suction line for debris and clean as needed.
Periodically lubricate the pump seal with food safe lubricant. To lubricate the pump seal, raise the handle of the pump assembly and apply 5-10 drops of food safe lubricant between the pump and pump sleeve.
If foam quality decreases, replace wadding:

Release air pressure from unit after each use by pulling the green pressure relief valve (a) until the red part of the stem is visible.
Unthread the wand retaining nut (h) from the black plastic wand.
Remove the old wadding (i), and insert the new wadding.
Thread the wand retaining nut (h) onto the black plastic wand.
Note: before installing accessories, depressurize the unit according to After Use Instructions.
