INITIAL START-UP
1. Follow label instructions for proper mixing of foam concen-
trate. Fill tank with desired amount of water and then add foam
according to label. It is better to have more foam concentrate
added to the water than less, because liquid flow amount can
be regulated by Wet/Dry knob.
NOTE: Start with control knob at center position.
2. To start foamer: turn main power switch to on position then
switch the toggle switch to the left or right position. Foam will
travel from the control valve (144f-1-3) toward the right or left
side of the boom. Reverse the L/R toggle switch and foam will
travel the opposite direction. (see figure 10)
NOTE: If liquid pump does not prime on start up, run Wet/Dry
control at full wet until prime.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. If foam is soupy, set more to dry on foamer control or more
foam concentrate needs to be added to the water. (concen-
trates for pressurized tank systems are not recommended for
use with SI foam markers)
2. Water conditions (soft or hard) will also vary foaming action.
Your local coop will probably be able to advise which foam
concentrate works best with local water conditions.
3. If a change of drop rate is desired: adjust knob more toward
wet until desired rate is achieved.
4. Drops are too far apart or you are doing post
emerge work and can not see drops do to plant
height: Remove rubber boot from end of drop hose
to get a nearly straight stream of foam at end of boom.
NOTE: If you are having trouble seeing foam try either
Tracer Pink (hot pink) or Tracer Blue colorants from Schaben
Industries.
