8 Top Air Foam Marker Safety General Hazard Information No accident-prevention program can be successful without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment. A large number of accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is caused and doing something about it. No power-driven equipment, whether it be transportation or processing, whether it be on the highway, in the harvest field, or in the industrial plant, can be safer than the person who is at the controls. If accidents are to be prevented--and they can be prevented--it will be done by the operators who accept the full measure of their responsibility. It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer can help; and they will help, but their combined efforts can be wiped out by a single careless act of the operator. It is said that, the best kind of a safety device is a careful operator. We, at Unverferth Mfg. Co., Inc. ask that you be that kind of operator. SIGNAL WORDS REMEMBER: THINK SAFETY A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT! INDICATES AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION THAT WILL RESULT IN SERI- OUS INJURY OR DEATH. INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. INDICATES AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR ACTION THAT MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

35 Top Air Foam Marker Operation Section III Operation Operating Foam Marker Filling Foam Collector Height Basic Operation

36 Top Air Foam Marker Operation Operating Foam Marker The optional foam marker for this sprayer automatically mixes foam concentrate and water. Clean water is taken directly from the rinse tank, and foam concentrate is drawn from a separate tank. Filling Since the water used comes directly from the rinse tank, ensure that the rinse tank is full before starting spray operation. This tank can be filled either through the fill cap or the quick-fill connector. To fill the foam concentrate tank (located on service platform), remove the cap and add diluted foam concentrate. Dilute concentrate 50/50 with water to ensure good flow characteristics. Foam Collector Height Adjust foam collector drop hose until collector is at least one foot above the ground, or to desired length. 3-2

37 Top Air Foam Marker Operation Basic Operation Before starting spray operation, test foam output to ensure that foam density and delivery rate are acceptable. (Additional information on troubleshooting foam output can be found in the MAINTENANCE SECTION). 1. Press the switch LEFT or RIGHT to activate system. Foam should begin to drop from foam heads within approximately 1 to 3 minutes. 2. Move switch to center position to stop flow of foam. 3.

Clean filter by removing and blowing compressed air from inside filter. Replace with a new filter if it cannot be cleaned adequately with compressed air. Water Filter An in-line water strainer is located under the sprayer frame, in the water line between the rinse tank and power unit box. To clean strainer, unscrew filter halves and flush strainer element with water. Foam Concentrate Tank Filter A screen is installed at the outlet of the tank. To clean screen, drain tank, then remove fitting and screen assembly for cleaning. Foamhead Screens The foamhead screens, located on the outer wings, can be cleaned by disassembling and washing with hot water. 4-2

41 Top Air Foam Marker Maintenance Foam Marker Winterization To prevent damage from freezing, components must be winterized. The liquid lines and tank must be drained completely prior to storage. If liquid in the system is allowed to freeze, several components may be damaged. Use the following procedure to winterize the foam marking system. 1. Drain the foam concentrate tank and line by disconnecting at the bulkhead connector on the power unit box. Disconnect the line by pushing the hose fully into the fitting, then while pushing the inner collar firmly onto the connector, pull the hose from the connector. 2. Flush out concentrate tank with warm water. 3. Reconnect hose by pushing fully into bulkhead connector. Pull carefully on hose near connector to verify that proper connection has been made. 4. Add approximately ½ pint of RV antifreeze solution to concentrate tank. 5. Disconnect liquid line at rinse tank. 6. Attach hose to a suitable temporary container. Fill container with approximately 1 pint of RV antifreeze solution. 7. Run foamer unit until antifreeze solution from temporary container is empty. 8. Reconnect liquid line to rinse tank. 4-3
