- Turn on the water tap and start the foam application by pressing the trigger on the water gun.
- Scrub the surface where foam is applied using a Vikan washing brush.
- Rinse off the cleaned surface with clean water.
- Ensure the distance from the injector’s nozzle-opening to the cleaning surface is at least 50 cm, applying foam from bottom up.
- After use, store the foaming equipment on the bracket (item no. 9348).
Dosing Instructions
To achieve optimal performance and dosing:
- Use the appropriate nozzle based on the desired chemical concentration ratio.
- Follow the recommended ratios for different color-coded nozzles.
- For replacements, use a pair of tongs to screw in/out the nozzles.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
- WARNING: Do not use chemical solutions through the foaming guns (93209 and 93239) to prevent damage to internal metal parts.
- If experiencing issues such as weak foaming or equipment not sucking up detergent, refer to the troubleshooting guide provided in the manual for solutions.
FAQ
Troubleshooting Guide:
The equipment does not suck-up the detergent:
- Blocked filter in the suction hose. – Clean or replace.
- Nozzle opening is blocked. – Clean or replace the nozzle.
- The water pressure is too low. – Ensure minimum 2 bar pressure at the end of the water supply hose.
- Mineral accumulation in the injector. – Descale parts as needed.
Weak foaming:
- Blocked filter on the water tap. – Clean or replace.
- Too low water pressure. – Ensure minimum 2 bar pressure at the end of the water supply hose.
- Chemical with poor foaming properties. – Choose a different chemical with better foaming properties.

Foam Cleaning Manual
Foam Cleaning with normal water pressure from the water tap (the pressure at
the end of the water supply hose needs to be minimum 2 bar) IMPORTANT: to use
a good foaming detergent.
Can be used for cleaning of:
-
Wet rooms, shower facilities, public swimming pools, fitness studios etc.
-
Light cleaning tasks in kitchens, butcher shops, micro breweries etc.
Mounting
-
Screw ½” tap coupling (item no. 0700) on the water tap.
-
Click the hose with ½” quick coupling (item no. 0701) on the water tap.
-
Insert the correct nozzle in the injector (see the nozzle directory on the following page).
-
Mount the suction hose.
-
Pour chemical in the container and screw the injector tight.
-
The hose with ½” quick-coupling (item no. 0701) is connected to nipple on the water gun.
-
The water gun (item no. 93209 or 93239) is connected to the nipple on the injector.
-
Turn on the water tap and start the foam application by pressing the trigger.
-
The distance from the injectors nozzle-opening to the cleaning surface has to be mini mum 50 cm. Foam from the bottom up.
-
Scrub the surface where foam is applied, using a Vikan washing brush (e.g. 7043x, 7042x).
-
Rinse off with clean water.
-
Store the foaming equipment on bracket (item no. 9348) after use.
Dosing
To have the best performance and dosing, it is necessary to:
- Have a water pressure of minimum 2 bar at the end of the water supply hose.
- Choose the right colour nozzle on the chemical inlet side: See recommended concentration on the label/data sheet for the chemical. On most foam cleaning chemicals you can read the information for the right mixture proportion between chemicals and water on the chemical label. E.g. it can be 1 decilitre to 10 litres of water, which can be explained as 1:100 or 1% concentration. By choosing and inserting the right nozzle, the dosing can be adjusted to the recommendations on the chemical.
- Use a good foaming detergent.
Replacement of Nozzles
By replacement it is recommended to screw the nozzles in/out using a pair of
tongs or the like.
The nozzle set contains the following
Grey: | 1:10 (10%) | Black: | 1:12 (8,3%) | Beige: | 1:14 (7,1%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Red: | 1:16 (6,3%) | White: | 1:18 (5,6%) | Blue: | 1:21 (4,8%) |
Light Brown: | 1:23 (4,4%) | Green: | 1:33 (3,0%) | Orange: | 1:40 (2,5%) |
Brown: | 1:45 (2,2%) | Yellow: | 1:57 (1,8%) | Turquoise: | 1:71 (1,4%) |
Lilac: | 1:100 (1,0%) | Pink: | 1:250 (0,4%) | Transparent: | Plug |
Extra nozzle set can be ordered using item no. 9378.
Maintenance
- The house coupling on the hose and foaming gun have to be greased regularly to maintain the coupling ability on the equipment. The grease applied during mounting will be rinsed away by the water flow and thus needs to be renewed.
- When the foam application is finalised, it is important to rinse the injector with clean water to avoid blocking of the nozzle. Screw the injector of the container and let it suck clean water through the suction hose to enable hose, filter and nozzle to be rinsed for chemicals.
WARNING
Fill cleaning agents into the container. Never use chemical solutions through
the foaming guns, 93209 and 93239, since this will damage the internal metal
parts.
