10.1 FOAM SUPPLY LOGISTICS
When using class B foams for extinguishing burning pools of liquids a continuous foam supply is essential. Foam fl ow may be
interrupted by not changing foam buckets quickly or by switching the metering head to OFF. Foam buckets can be diffi cult to move
or open quickly, therefore training and planning for a continuous foam supply is recommended.
DANGER
Lack of foam can place operator at risk of injury or death. Establish foam fl ow before advancing
into hazardous situations. Make sure you do not run out of foam concentrate before the task is
complete. Check concentrate level periodically and keep an adequate supply on hand.
11.0 MAINTENANCE
Eductor does not need regular maintenance. However, make sure the eductor is fully cleaned after each usage. Otherwise, the foam
concentrate may dry inside and around the percentage ball resulting in plugged metering orifi ces. Look down inside metering head
and check valve to insure clean passageways.
10.0 FOAM BUCKET ARRANGEMENT
The foam suction hose is matched to the eductor and must not be lengthened or foam fl ow will be reduced resulting in weak foam.
(as shown in location D). The other three locations (A, B, & C) show the recommended foam bucket arrangement.
