ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
1. Placement: Place the foam generator FG1 (6) on a fl at and stable surface, on a tripod by
means of the tripod accommodation (15) or hang on a structure by means of two clamps
in the anchoring holes (8). Secure the machine with a safety cable suitable for the weight
of the machine. Adjust the inclination of the generator and tighten the locking knobs (14) to
fi x the inclination. If you use a tripod, make sure it is completely stable and supports 30 kg.
If you are going to use the generator connected to the water network, follow the instructions
in point 2 of assembly and operation. If you are going to use a water tank + pump, follow
the instructions of assembly and operative point 3
2. Working with water network.
2.1- Water connection: Connect the water hose (not included) to the water inlet connection
(9) of the FG1 generator. Make sure that the inlet water tap (10) is turned ON and keep the
general tap of your water supply closed.
2.2-Foaming fl uid inlet: Insert the fi lter at one end of the foam absorber tube (12) into a
container with foam liquid ready for use. Check that the foaming liquid connection (11) is
fully open ("ON" position) and that the tube is not bent, obstructing the passage of liquid.
This small tap is to regulate the entry of foam fl uid, although it is better to leave it completely
open. Since the machine mixes the fl uid with the incoming water, it is better to regulate the
outfl ow of the machine with the Inlet Water tap and thus not to deregulate the proportion
of foam fl uid and water
3. Working with deposit and pump.
As previously described, you may fi nd that where you plan to use the foam generator, you
do not have either enough water pressure (< 1,5 BAR) or if there is pressure, the water
fl ow is weak. In these cases, it is recommended to work with a water pump.
You then can choose if to pump only the water to the foam generator, or pump a PREMIX
(the mixure of water + foam fl uid)
3/A – Pumping water
3/A-1- Fill your tank with water.
3/A-2 Submerge the pump into the tank. It should be in horizontal position so that the
pump is always well refrigerated. The pump cannot run out of water. (Risk of burning).
3/A-3- Connect the hose coming from the pump, to the inlet water tap of the machine.
Insert the fi lter into a container with foam liquid ready for use. Check that the foam
fl uid tap (13) is fully open ("ON" position) and that the tube is not bent, obstructing the
passage of liquid.
3/A-4- Now you can proceed with point 4 of ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION.
During the use of the machine, you may wish to let a water hose fi lling the tank
(especially if your tank is not too big). In this way, in the meantime the machine is
consuming water, you get more water inside the tank and thus it takes longer to empty
the tank.
