Important!
Before taking the sprayer into service for the first time, make sure to read the operating manual thoroughly.
The user is liable for damages resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and warning alerts can result in injury to or death of persons!
Warning!
• Do not use the sprayer while other persons are still in the working area.
• Do not blow out a clogged nozzle or clogged valves with the mouth (danger of poisoning).
• Clean the sprayer after each use, making sure not to cause pollution to water.
• Do not fill chemicals into other containers (bottles, cans or the like). Store equipment and chemicals such that they cannot
be reached by children and household animals.
• When the sprayer is passed on to third parties, definitely make sure that it is accompanied by the operating manual.
• The user is responsible versus third parties, and in particular domestic animals and children, that when taking the sprayer
into service any escaping media as a result of the opening of the safety relief valve, as well as the spray jet during spraying
operations, are not directed at said third parties.
• When foaming the agent avoid contact with the foaming liquid. During this work make sure to wear protective clothing, a
protective mask and safety glasses and to protect the hands.
• Do not foam against the wind, as well as during strong winds. Do not foam any more of the agent than necessary for the
surface to be treated.
Safety Instructions
• Before each use check to ensure that the sprayer has been correctly assembled, and that it is in a functional and
undamaged condition. Special attention must be given to the tightness of the hose connections, as well as to the correct
functioning/freedom of movement of the safety relief valve (1).
• The sprayer is equipped with a safety relief valve (1) which discharges excessive pressure. The safety relief valve is
adjusted to 4 bar / 58.02 psi. It is noted expressly that any and all manipulation of the safety relief valve is prohibited. In this
case, any and all warranties of BIRCHMEIER Sprühtechnik AG become null and void, and all liabilities are disclaimed by
BIRCHMEIER Sprühtechnik AG.
• Make sure that the desired agent is suitable for this foamer. The safety and handling instructions of the chemical
manufacturer are to be observed and adhered to. The use of any and all chemicals is at your own responsibility and risk. If
you should have any doubts in this respect, please consult our after-sales service.
• The foamer must not be filled with liquids at a temperature greater than 30°C / 86°F. Do not leave the appliance standing in
the sun under pressure. The effects of frost can damage the equipment.
• Before unscrewing the pump (4) always first release the pressure via the safety relief valve (1), holding the foamer away
from the body at an angle.
Applications
The foamer can be used for foaming agents which contain for acids or alkaline cleaning and disinfection solutions in
concentrations of approx. 2-8%. The foamer can be destroyed by acids and alkaline solutions which are insufficiently diluted.
Preparing the equipment for use
Screw the trigger valve (12) on to the hose (11). Finally, make sure all joints are tight.
Operation
Filling the tank:
On each occasion first fully release the pressure in the tank by lifting the safety relief valve (1). Unscrew the pump (4) and fill
the tank; the maximum permissible volume of liquid must not be exceeded (see level-mark on the tank), so that sufficient
space remains for the air-cushion. The maximum permissible operating temperature is 30°C / 86°F.
Pressurizing the tank:
Screw in the pump (4) and tighten the connection firmly. Release the pump handle from the locked position by pressing down
on it slightly and turning it to the left. Pump up until the red mark appears on the safety relief valve (1). Operating pressure has
then been reached. Fasten the pump handle in the locked position again.
Compressed air: In order to pump up the appliance by using an external pressure source, a pressure-reducing valve must be
used, set to a maximum pressure of 4 bar / 58.02 psi. When a pressure of 4 bar / 58.02 psi has been reached the pressure
source must be removed.
Carrying the sprayer:
The appliance can be carried either by the pump-handle, when this is locked, or by means of the carrying-strap over the
shoulder.
