  • Page 15: Foam Downer

    7. Optional Foam Downer: A key problem with portable extractors is that they have small tanks where foam dissipates slowly. If you have had issues with foam or are anticipating foaming problems, you will want to use a Foam Downer. Foam can be drawn into the vacuums before the vacuum shutoff closes.
  • Page 16 8. Connection of Optional Pump-Out Hose: If your machine has the Optional Auto Pump-Out System you may want to connect the Pump-Out Hose. The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose. (Use of smaller diameter hose may reduce flow.) •...

  • Page 17: Shutdown Procedures
