FOAM MARKER WINTER STORAGE
1. When unit is stored during freezing temperatures, drain
unused foam solution from tank (disconnect air pump and run
liquid pump until unit is near empty), fill tank with enough foam
marker anti-freeze to cover bottom of suction hose. Then run
unit until antifreeze is going into pvc mixing chambers.
this will cut down on amps to the marker
(see figure 11)
*On units with 12 volt batteries, contact the red lead to the posi-
tive post and the white lead to the negative post.
**On units with two 6 volt batteries, connect the red lead to the
positive post that feeds the starter and the white lead to a clean
chassis ground.
If equipped with an automatic rate controller, a speed sensor is
sent along in the controller kit. The sensor needs to be mounted
to the cap or sprayer with a clear line of sight to the sky. The
red wire will need to be hooked up to 12 volt power (TeeJet cal
#1150. Raven cal # 586. See figure 17).
