Low-foaming detergents are applied through an injector and under low pressure. Switching to agitation
under high pressure is performed by turning the regulating knob on the double spray lance, or by attach-
ing a high pressure spray lance if you are working with Foam application equipment.
For foam cleaning you will have to use a special foam lance and injector. Insert the injector pickup hose
into the foam detergent. Attach the foam lance to the spray handle and you are ready for foam applica-
tion. After the foam application, open the by-pass valve ovnthe foam injector and replace the foam lance
with a spray lance.
