Instructions for Use

1. Pull foam tube handle up until clamp is fully open.

2. Place bumper (or hand grip) of nozzle into saddle of foam tube.

3. Push down on foam tube handle until you feel the clamp compress the bumper or hand grip to a

point at which the handle should snap the rest of the way down. The handle should resist being
pulled back up. If it does not, have the tube checked for worn or damaged parts. Ensure that the
foam tube is securely attached to nozzle.

For Maximum Foam Expansion:
Turn nozzle tip with foam tube attached counterclockwise (into FOG position) until water just starts to

come out through the air inlet windows. Turn tip back clockwise (towards straight stream) until water no
longer comes out through the air inlet windows. This position will produce the maximum expansion
ratio (approximately 8-1).

For Maximum Stream Reach:
Turn nozzle tip with foam tube attached clockwise until it stops in full straight stream position. This

position will provide the greatest reach, but the expansion ratio drops to approximately 4-1.
