SPECIFICATIONS

(up to system max of 47,320 cubic feet).
Run time from full tank**| Approx. 1.5 hours
Number of nozzles| 3 nozzles
Fog mast height range| 3.5-8.5 ft. (1.1-2.6 m)
Wheel type| Two 10 inch non-marking wheels

Dilution rates and flow rates given are based on chemical with viscosity of water and factory air pressure settings.
Area covered and run time may vary based on humidity, air flow, and product used.

Assembly Instructions

1. Remove all components from packaging.
2. Attach the fog nozzle assembly to the top of the fog mast using the screw provided in the parts package. The fog nozzles (PFN-N130) should point upwards.
3. Push one end of the red tube into the fitting labeled “RED” on the unit’s back plate.
4. Push one end of the blue tube into the fitting labeled “BLUE” on the unit’s back plate.
5. Connect the other ends of the red and blue tubes to the fog nozzle assembly. Locate the two tee fittings (QFT38) with an open port and connect the solution line (red) to the liquid tee and the air line (blue) to the air tee. To determine which tee is air and which is liquid, trace the clear tubing from the tee to one of the fog nozzles (PFN-130) – on the body of the nozzle, the air line is labeled “AIR” and the liquid line is labeled “LIQ.”
   Note: Make sure to insert the tubing all the way into the fittings to ensure proper connection.

Operation Instructions

Always follow all chemical safety precautions and handling instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

1. Follow all instructions from chemical manufacturer. Fill the tank with water and the advised percentage of chemicalconcentrate.

2. Place the unit in the area to be fogged.

3. Adjust the fog mast to the desired height. To change the height, loosen the collar screws, move the mast up or down as needed, then retighten the collar screws to secure the mast.
   Caution: To prevent injury from collapsing mast, always support the mast when adjusting height. Always make sure the collar screws are tight and secure before letting go of the mast.

4. Ensure the air supply valve (BVB14) is in the closed position, and connect a compressed air line to the air inlet fitting (AP25).

5. Open the air supply valve (BVB14) to activate the unit.

6. Evacuate the area.

7. After the unit has stopped fogging, observe all appropriate safety precautions before reentering area. Close the air supply valve (BVB14) and disconnect the compressed air line from the unit.

8. Before moving the unit, always lower the fog mast completely and secure it in the lowest position.

After Use Instructions

1. Flush the unit with fresh water for 5 minutes.
2. Disconnect the air line from the air fitting (AP25).

Maintenance Instructions

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

• Check the air pump (P56/P56K/P56V) for wear and leaks.
• Inspect hoses for leaks or excessive wear. Make sure all hose clamps are in good condition and properly secured.
• Check the suction tube and screen for debris and clean as needed.
• Drain compressor tank on a regular basis to ensure proper operation of pump.

Troubleshooting Instructions

• If air passes through the pump (P56/P56K/P56V) without cycling, the pump needs to be replaced.
• Check the chemical suction line and strainer for debris or damage. Clean or replace as needed. To prevent damage to the unit, the strainer (STR38-IL) must always be used.
• Check for proper air pressure on air gauge (AG100). Air regulator (R14) is factory set at 50 psi (3.4 bar).
• If the unit foams at a reduced pressure:
  o Check the air compressor supplying the unit. If the pressure is less than 40 psi, turn the foam unit off until the compressor can catch up.
  o If the air supply is 50 psi (3.4 bar) or above, check the AG100, which should read near 50 psi (3.4 bar). If the AG100 is more or less than 50 psi (3.4 bar), adjust the pressure by turning the knob on the top of the air regulator (R14).
