Safety and Cautions

This equipment is to be used by trained firefighting personnel only. Failure to obtain proper training may result in severe injury or death.

Do not exceed maximum operating pressure. Exceeding the maximum rated pressure for this appliance may cause malfunction, or failure resulting in severe injury or death.

Failure of fittings and hoses can result in injury. Use caution not to exceed hose pressures as stated in NFPA 1961 for the type of hose being used.

Make sure all connections are secure and complete. Failure to ensure proper connection may result in leaks or cause the devices to become disconnected under pressure, resulting in injury or death.

Open and close all valves slowly. Failure to operate valves slowly may cause water hammer, which may result in damage or failure of hose, coupling devices, and appliances leading to injury or death.

Do not use if damaged. Damage to product may cause malfunction or failure. Remove from service until unit can be repaired.

Check for damage or worn coupling connections. Damage or worn connections may become disconnected under pressure. Remove from service to be repaired by an AWG certified repair facility.

For use with fresh or salt water, with or without fire fighting foam.

Altering of this device may reduce its operating effectiveness, or safety. Do not alter or change in any way from its intended design.

43 Summer St.South Walpole, MA 02071Tel (508)-850-5260Fax (508)-850-52623.0 Overview

Fire fighting foam operations require special training and presents its own set of hazards. Personnel should not engage in foam operations until they have had proper training in foam operations. Failure to do so may lead to severe injury or death.

This appliance may only be used by properly trained fire fighting personnel who have read and understand the proper operation of this equipment. Failure to receive the proper training or understanding the operation of this equipment may lead to its improper use and lead to serious injury or death.

Pressurized water streams can cause injury to people. Use caution when operating fire streams, do not intentionally direct the fire stream at people.

Water can conduct electricity and applying water on or near electrical equipment can cause injury or death from electrocution.

This eductor operates on the Venturi principle, too much pressure into the eductor will decrease the ability of the Venturi to draw foam concentrate into the eductor. This can happen if you need to compensate for an elevated foam fire stream. DO NOT elevate the foam nozzle more that 60 above the fire pump.

The in-line foam eductor operates in accordance with the Venturi principle. A metering device regulates the introduction of the foam concentrate at a ratio between 0.5% and 6%. Operating at only 100 PSI for safer use. The eductor comes with a female swivel inlet and male outlet and a clear PVC pick- up hose with a Storz quick connection.

Check to be sure you have sufficient foam concentrate prior to starting firefighting operations with foam equipment.A sudden loss of foam solution may lead to a loss of the protective foam blanket exposing personnel to flammable vapors or active fire and can lead to severe injury or death.

Securely connect the appliance to the hose line. If connected with a non-threaded coupling (i.e. Storz) make sure the locking device is fully engaged, failure to engage the locking device may lead to the nozzle becoming disconnected under pressure.

Secure the pick-up tube to the foam concentrate inlet on the top of the appliance.

Set the mix ratio with the adjustment knob on the side of the appliance, indicated in percent of concentrate. The operator must be sure to select the correct metering percentage for the type of foam to be used. Incorrect mixture settings may result in inadequate foam production and may lead to severe injury.

Make sure all connections are secure and complete. Failure to ensure the proper connection may result in leaks or cause the devices to become disconnected under pressure resulting in injury or death.

43 Summer St.South Walpole, MA 02071Tel (508)-850-5260Fax (508)-850-52624.0 Operation

Slowly fill the hose line with water to prevent water hammer. Water hammer can cause damage to fittings, coupling or valves and cause the appliance to fail, leading to injury.

The nozzle operator should bleed off any air trapped in the hose line.

Slowly increase the water pressure to the desired operating pressure. When the appliance reaches the operation pressure the Venturi will create a sufficient vacuum to draw concentrate into the eductor.

Make sure you have sufficient foam concentrate prior to starting firefighting operations with foam equipment.A sudden loss of foam solution may lead to a loss of the protective foam blanket exposing personnel to flammable vapors or active fire and can lead to severe injury or death.

When fire fighting operations are complete, slowly shut down nozzle and decrease water pressure. Shut down hose line and bleed off excess pressure before disconnecting the appliance.

Bleed off any excess pressure in the hose lines before you attempt to disconnect any hose or apparatus and disconnect and drain hose lines. Attempting to disconnect the appliance without removing pressure from the hose line may result in injury.

Flush completely with fresh water after use. Some foam concentrates may leave residue that may cause corrosion or become sticky. This will interfere with the operation of the Venturi and shorten the service life of this appliance.

Clean and inspect for damage before returning the appliance to storage.

5.0 Care and Maintenance

Check all o-rings and gaskets to ensure proper operation.

Exercise metering device routinely to ensure smooth operation.

Periodically clean and rinse the appliance to reduce the build up of dirt and debris inside the appliance.

Flush completely with water after each use. Place the pick- up tube in a bucket of fresh water to flush the tube and Venturi while attached to the eductor, to remove residue from inside the pick-up tube and the Venturi.

No lubrication necessary.
