Operation Instructions
Always follow all chemical safety precautions and handling instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
- Follow all instructions from chemical manufacturer.
Fill the tank with water and the advised percentage of chemical concentrate. - Place the unit in the area to be fogged.
- Ensure the air supply valve (BVB14) is in the closed position, and connect a compressed air line to the air inlet fitting (AP25).
- Open the air supply valve (BVB14) to activate the unit.
- Evacuate the area.
- After the unit has stopped fogging, observe all appropriate safety precautions before reentering area. Close the air supply valve (BVB14) and disconnect the compressed air line from the unit.
After Use Instructions:
- Flush the unit with fresh water for 5 minutes.
- Disconnect the air line from the air fitting (AP25).
Maintenance Instructions:
To keep your portable unit operating properly, periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:
- Check the air pump (P56/P56K/P56V) for wear and leaks.
- Inspect hoses for leaks or excessive wear. Make sure all hose clamps are in good condition and properly secured.
- Check the suction tube and screen for debris and clean as needed.
- Drain compressor tank on a regular basis to ensure proper operation of pump.
Troubleshooting Instructions:
- If air passes through the pump (P56/P56K/P56V) without cAycling, the pump needs to be replaced.
- Check the chemical suction line and strainer for debris or damage. Clean or replace as needed. To prevent damage to the unit, the strainer (STR38-IL) must always be used.
- Check for proper air pressure on air gauge (AG100). Air regulator (R14) is factory set at 50 psi (3.4 bar).
- If the unit foams at a reduced pressure:
- Check the air compressor supplying the unit. If the pressure is less than 40 psi, turn the foam unit off until the compressor can catch up.
- If the air supply is 50 psi (3.4 bar) or above, check the AG100, which should read near 50 psi (3.4 bar). If the AG100 is more or less than 50 psi (3.4 bar), adjust the pressure by turning the knob on the top of the air regulator (R14).

TIMER ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The TR120MF is a multifunction timer.
- The four switches in the top left (Function) control the timer mode. For fogging/misting applications, switches A, C, and D should be ON, and switch B should be OFF. This puts the timer in Dual Mode.
- The six switches in the bottom left (Time Base) control the time interval. The timer is factory set to MINUTES. To change the Time Base to seconds or hours, refer to the chart below.
- The five switches in the top right (Dual Mode t1) control the delay time.
- The five switches in the the bottom right (Dual Mode t2) control the run time. The active time for each function is equal to the combined values of any switch(es) that are ON.
NOTICE: the timer is factory set at 2 minute delay, 8 minute run time.
Timer Setting Example
In this example, the delay time has been set to 5 minutes, and the run time has been set to 20 minutes.
