Controller (if fi tted)
If your Pinto is fi tted with an ARAG foam
marker, follow these instructions for its
operation:
1 Mix the appropriate amount of foam
concentrate with water in the tank.
You can put the foam concentrate in
fi rst, then fi ll the tank with clean
rainwater making sure the fi lling
hose goes to the bottom of he tank
(underwater) to avoid excessive
foaming of the solution while fi lling.
Alternatively, add the foam
concentrate after fi lling the tank with
water.
Use the left/right selector switch to send foam to the
left or right foam nozzle
2 With the control panel wired direct
to battery, fl ick the switch on the
control panel to the left.
Foam should now be coming out of
the left-hand side foam nozzle at the
end of the boom.
3 On the cap of the foam tank, adjust
the fl ow-rate regulating valve to
achieve the desired output of foam.
Adjust the foam output with the fl ow-rate regulating
valve.
Always release air-pressure in the tank before undoing
the cap to refi ll, and when fi nished for the day.
4 Flick the selector switch to the right-
hand position on the control panel,
and check that the right-hand side
foam nozzle is putting out the desired
amount of foam (to match the left).
5 When re-fi lling, fi rst make certain you
relieve the pressure in the tank
by pulling the pressure relief valve
ring and letting the pressurized air
escape BEFORE undoing the tank
lid.
Fill the tank again to continue
working.
6 Ensure the operator leaves the
selector switch on the control panel
in the neutral (middle) position when
the unit is not in use, or drainage of
the tractor battery will occur.
The lights on the control panel are lit,
either left or right, if the selector
switch is in the operating position.
7 Before fi nishing your day, ensure
the air pressure in the tank is
released overnight.
For maintenance of your Salvarani foam
marker, go to page 5.7.
For trouble-shooting tips, go to page 6.6.
The foam marker will output foam at the rate of
approximately 10.6 Litres/hour, depending on
your foam mix concentration and adjustment
of output.
NOTE
The compressor requires a continuous 12-volt
supply at 9 amps.
Do not operate the unit at more than 40 Deg C or
less than 0 Deg C.
