5. Verify suction line valve at the base of the suction line is open, allowing fluid into the suction line.

6. Press the power button to turn on the unit.

7. Slowly open the discharge ball valve or squeeze the trigger handle to begin foaming.

8. While the unit is running and discharging product, adjust the needle valve to regulate the wetness or dryness of the foam by following the steps below:

   • Close the needle valve completely in a clockwise direction.
   • Open the needle valve in a counter-clockwise direction with 3 complete turns.
   • Continue to open the needle valve in ¼ turn increments, allowing 30 seconds between adjustments, until the desired consistency of foam is achieved.

9. Close the discharge ball valve, or release the trigger handle to stop foaming.
   After Use Instructions
   Note: For proper handling and disposal procedures refer to chemical SDS.

10. The solution should be removed from the unit after each use. This can be done in two ways:

    • Unthread the drain plug from the front of the tank and drain the solution into an approved location.
    • Place the discharge wand into an approved container. Turn the needle valve to the wet setting and activate the unit until all solutions have been flushed from the unit.

11. Press the power button to turn off the unit. Open the discharge ball valve or trigger handle to relieve the remaining pressure.

12. Before using the unit with another chemistry, thoroughly flush with water.
