MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
After Operations
Flush the System
Flush the foam system after each operation. Particularly for systems that use B type concentrate. Make
sure that the valve to the foam tank is closed when ushing the system so that no water gets into the foam tank.
Check Position of Manually Operated Valves
Ensure all manually operated valves are in the correct post operation position.
Routine Checks
These checks should be done every four to six weeks, dependent on system use. High use systems should
be checked every two weeks.
Check Foam Pump Oil
Ensure the oil level is even with the line in the site glass and the oil does not show signs of contamination.
The site glass can be found on the side of the pump near the vented dip stick.
Manufacturer recommended oil: Triplex Plunger Pump Crankcase Oil - # AR64516
Check System Components
Inspect components, wire harnesses, plumbing, and all connections. Look for looseness, wear or deterioration
of materials, corrosion, and damage.
Clean the Paddlewheel Flow Sensor
Use plain water to clean the paddlewheel sensor. Do not use solvents.
Clean the Strainers
Clean the foam concentrate and ush water strainers.
Required Periodic Maintenance
Change Foam Pump Oil
Change the foam pump oil after rst 50 hours of use, then every 500 hours. The program shows a L02 error
code and ashes a SVC OIL FOAMPUMP message when the hour milestones are hit. (To show foam pump
hours use program code P121.) (Reset code P122 after oil is changed.)
Manufacturer recommended oil: Triplex Plunger Pump Crankcase Oil - # AR64516
Operate System
It is recommended that the TurboFoam system be operated at least once every six weeks. The program ashes
a OPERATE FOAMPUMP message when he system has not been operated within the time set. (Program code
P120 sets the time.)
Calibrate System
It is recommended that the TurboFoam system concentrate foam pump and ow sensor calibration be check
yearly. The concentrate foam pump should be re-calibrated if the foam concentrate is changed to a different type.
