Foam Marker
The foam marker should be set so that when a pass is
make in the field with the foam marker on, you should be
able to clearly see the foam marker on the next pass. If
too much foam is being applied, you will have to fill up
the foam marker more often. The rate of foam coming
out of the foam marker can be adjusted with the foam
control valve, refer to Figure 7, page 14.
If you find that the drops of foam are not large enough to
see, a foam marker bell can be placed on the end of the
drop hose to make larger foam drops. Refer to the parts
manual on page 1-1 to purchase a foam marker bell.
Foam Marker Preparation
General Notes for Field Operation
1.
Check to make sure the foam marker is securely at-
tached to its mount, and the foam generator cylin-
ders are securely fastened to the boom.
2. Check the volume of soap in the foam tank to make
sure there is enough soap to operate the foam mark-
er for the time you will be spraying.
3. Check the foam marker clear hose that routes along
the boom to be sure her are no kinks in the hose.
4. Turn on the foam marker by turning the foam marker
switch to the left or right and see if the power light on
the foam marker lights up. If the light does not turn
on, the foam marker does not have power. Check
the wiring harness plug.
5. DO NOT substitute other substances for the foam
marker concentrate. The foam marker concentrate
is specially formulated for the foam marker to pro-
duce high quality, long lasting foam. Other soap for-
mulas are not made for this purpose.
