Instructions

Operation Instructions:

|
---|---

1. Remove all components from the packaging.

2. Attach the lance assembly (LC-LLA-5.0L) to the trigger handle (LC-PSG-5.0L).

3. Confirm air pressure is completely released from the unit by pulling the green pressure relief valve (LC-PRV) until the red part of the stem is revealed.

4. Securely hold the unit and unscrew the pump assembly (LC-PA) from the tank head (LC-THA-F5.0L).

5. Follow all instructions from the chemical manufacturer. Fill tank 3/4 full with a pre-mixed solution.
   Note: Do not overfill the tank with the solution.

6. Securely hold the tank (TANK5.0L) and screw the pump assembly (LC-PA) in the tank head (LC-THA-F5.0L).

7. Pressurize the tank by pumping up the unit until the pressure relief valve (LC-PRV) begins to leak air.

8. Once the desired pressure has been achieved, push the pump (LC-PA) down and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.

9. To start foaming, point the wand assembly at the area you wish to foam and squeeze the trigger handle to discharge foam.

After Use Instructions:

|
---|---

1. Release air pressure from the unit after each use by pulling the green pressure relief valve (LC-PRV) until the red part of the stem is visible.
2. Empty all solutions in the tank and run fresh water through the unit to rinse parts thoroughly.
3. Use tank handle (LC-HNDL-CLP) to carry unit, NOT pump assembly (LC-PA).

Maintenance Instructions:

Warning: Always depressurize the unit before performing maintenance.
To keep your unit operating properly, periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:

• Check the pump assembly for wear and leaks.
• Check the suction tube and screen for debris and clean as needed.
• Periodically lubricate the pump seal with a food-safe lubricant. To lubricate the pump seal, raise the pump handle and apply 5 to 10 drops of food-safe lubricant between the pump and pump sleeve.
