Unpacking & Inspection
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system
has arrived intact. Accompanying the S-120 foam machine should be a hanging bracket
and fluid tank. If any equipment is missing contact your ANTARI dealer immediately.
Before beginning your initial setup on the ANTARI Foam Machine, make sure that there is
no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable
is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your
ANTARI dealer for assistance.
Setup
․ Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic
padding is removed, especially in the nozzle area.
․ Place the machine on a flat surface and remove the liquid tank cap.
․ Fill with ANTARI Foam Liquid or other dealer-recommended high-quality water-based
snow or foam fluid. Any other types of fluid can damage the unit. When filled, place
cap back on liquid tank.
Installation
The Foam Machine may be installed at floor level or suspended overhead. Install the
Foam machine in a well-ventilated area. Never cover the unit’s vents. In order to
guarantee adequate ventilation, allow a free air space of at least 20 cm around the sides
and top of the unit. Install the device out of the public area. Please consider that liquid may
be spilt during operation around the device. The resulting slippery surface can cause
accidents. Position output of foam away from persons. The minium distance should be
1.5 m. Only install the machine on scratch resistant and water resistant surfaces.
Please make sure that the inclination angle does not exceed 15°.
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable
Material (decoration articles, etc.) within a minimum distance of 0.5 m.
This device is constructed for a standing installation only. If the device is to be installed
overhead, the following safety instructions are binding:
The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10
times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national norms during
the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized
dealer!
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an
appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that
no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation
place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes
before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by a skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including
(but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these
qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional
structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems
have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down!
If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the
device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10
times the device's weight.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of
the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safetyrope through the hole in the mounting-bracket and over the trussing system or a safe
fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope which already has held the strain of a crash or which is defective may not be
used again.
Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation
screws.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be
approved by an expert!
