The foam marker is used to mark the working area with balls of foam. It eliminates the risk of overlapping and space gaps during the spraying process. The FM-40/FM-40-1 is designed to be very easy to install, operate and maintain. The foam marker operates independently from the PTO or other sprayer components.

INSTALLATION OF SWITCH BOX AND POWER SUPPLY
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• Determine the best location for the selector switch box in the tractor cab. • Determine the best routig for the power cable. Make sure it is away from operator’s movement area, away from moving parts and away from sharp objects.
DIMENSION & WEIGHT KIT
The weight of the FM-40 & FM-40-1 is 30 lbs. empty. Below you will find the overall dimensions.

• Mount the power supply disconnect within 6 feet, from selector switch box. First crimp one supplied pin contact to one red and one black 10 gauge wire (not included) and connect them to the proper socket. Next mount the power supply disconnect, by using the template supplied in the bag with the power supply socket, to drill a 1” hole in the center and two 1/4” bolt holes in the sides. Feed the two wires through the 1” drilled hole. Use 10-24 screws to bolt the disconnect. Finally, connect the other end of the red wire to the “+” side and the other end of the black wire to the “-” side of the 12 Volt battery.

The Foam Marker can be easily installed horizontally on the sprayer. However as a general rule it is important to choose a location for the compressor that shields it from exposure to chemicals during spraying operations.
2 Bolts
Power Supply Disconnect
The two foam drop nozzles must be fixed at the ends of the boom so that foam can fall at the edge of the end spray nozzle signaling the sprayed area.

Hoses for the air-liquid circuit must be clamped to the boom structure out of way of moving parts. Also, ensure hoses will not DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CABLE INTO THE DISCONNECT UNTIL ALL WIRING IS kink if and when booms are folded. COMPLETED.

INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR AND TANK Mount the foam marker on a sturdy part of the sprayer structure. 4 bolts hole (11/32”) are drilled on the tank brackets for fixture. Brackets are factory mounted on the tank. Please note bolts are not included.

OPERATION
• Insert two nuts (provided in the kit) in each foam nozzle support (one in the top slot and one in the bottom slot).
SWITCH BOX T he switch box is used to start the
compressor and to select the side the foam will be made. To operate simply select “ON” left or “ON” right to direct the foam to the left or right side of the boom. Selecting “OFF” will not drop foam at all
• Place each foam support on top of the drilled hole.
AIR-LIQUID CONNECTION OF CAP
• Bolt each foam nozzle support using M6 bolts (the length of the bolt depends of the Air-liquid connection to the cap of the tank thickness of the boom. M6 Bolts are not is factory mounted. However if they are not, provided. connect the clear tube (air outlet) from the compressor to the white wing nut of the cap. • Slide first the rod in the two foam nozzle Next connect the blue tube (liquid outlet) support, then in the foam mixer. from the compressor to the blue wing nut • Hand tight the foam nozzle supports with of the of the cap. the “L” shaped bolt.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
ON OFF
For a fast and reliable fixture, one can use clamps to fix the foam nozzle support. Several different clamps might work. However, the following ones have been tested. KIT
On the cap, there is a flow regulator to control the output of the foam liquid. By turning the knob clockwise, the foam ball output will be less frequent. By turning the knob counter clockwise, the foam ball output will be more frequent.

OPTION 2: Use clamps for fixture
Factory mounted brackets
add soap to avoid making foam in the tank. Replace cap on the tank and tighten hand tight. When preparing soap mixture, one must first desire life span of the foam ball. Temperature, sun light, relative humidity, hardness of water, soap concentration and wind condition are some of the variables which effect the foam ball life span.
PRECAUTIONARY STEPS Flush the system with clean water after each use, especially when hard water has been used. Do not apply lubricating oils, grease or other petroleum products to the compressor motor assembly.

Being careful not to cut the tubing, cut the over sleeve back approximately 2” to expose the blue and clear tubing. Next, remove the blue wing nut from the foam nozzle connector and slip it on the blue tube with the thread facing away from the blue tube. Slide the blue tube all the way over the small tube on the foam nozzle. Slide the wing nut back to the thread and hand tighten. Follow the same steps for the clear tube and white tube nut. Finally install the opposite ends of the air-liquid tubes to the compressor.

CONNECTION OF POWER CABLE AND COMPRESSOR CABLE
With the compressor cable connect one end to the switch box and the other end to the compressor. The compressor cable is 23 ft. long. With the power cable connect one end to the switch box and the other end to the disconnect socket. The power cable is 6.5 ft. long.
