ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

1. Placement: Place FC1 Foam cannon (6) on a fl at, stable surface or on a tripod using the
accommodation for tripod (15). Adjust the inclination of the cannon (advisable about 45º)
and tighten the locking knobs (14) to fi x the inclination. Make sure that the tripod used is
completely stable and that it supports 30 kg. The FC1 foam cannon is ready to work without
the need of a pump since it works at a very low water pressure (1,5 BAR/21PSI). You may
fi nd that where you plan to use the foam cannon, you do not have either enough water
pressure (< 1,5 BAR) or the water fl ow is very weak. In such cases it is recommended
to use a pump (advisable a pump of min. 3BAR/43 PSI). If you are going to use the
cannon connected to the water network, follow the instructions in point 2 of assembly and
operation. If you are going to use a water tank + pump, follow the instructions in point 3 of
assembly and operation.
2. Working with water network.
2.1- Water connection: Connect the water hose (not included) to the water inlet
connection (9) of the FC1 cannon. Make sure that the inlet water tap (10) is closed
("OFF" position) and open the general tap of your water point.
2.2- Foaming fl uid inlet: Insert the fi lter into a container with foam liquid ready for use.
Check that the foam fl uid connection (11) is fully open ("ON" position) and that the
tube is not bent, obstructing the passage of liquid.
This small tap is to regulate the entry of foam fl uid, although it is better to leave it
completely open. Since the machine mixes the fl uid with the incoming water, it is
better to regulate the outfl ow of the machine with the Inlet Water tap and thus not to
deregulate the proportion of foam fl uid and water.
3. Working with deposit and pump.
As previously described, you may fi nd that where you plan to use the foam cannon,
you do not have either enough water pressure (< 1,5 BAR) or if there is pressure, the
water fl ow is weak. In these cases it is recommended to work with a water pump.
You then can choose if to pump only the water to the foam cannon, or pump a PREMIX
(the mixure of water + foam fl uid)
3/A – Pumping water
3/A-1- Fill your tank with water.
3/A-2 Submerge the pump into the tank. It should be in horizontal position so that the
pump is always well refrigerated. The pump cannot run out of water. (Risk of burning).
3/A-3- Connect the hose coming from the pump, to the inlet water tap of the machine.
Insert the fi lter into a container with foam liquid ready for use. Check that the foam
fl uid tap (13) is fully open ("ON" position) and that the tube is not bent, obstructing the
passage of liquid.
3/A-4- Now you can proceed with point 4 of ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION.
During the use of the machine, you may wish to let a water hose fi lling the tank
