· Foam liquid will freeze, but the plastic container(s) used for shipment will expand safely with
the ice. The foam liquid can be used after it thaws.
· Foam liquid must be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Rinse any spill thoroughly with water as the foam liquid is slippery. The foam liquid poses no
direct hazard, however it should be disposed of in limited quantities at a time to avoid
nuisance foaming in sewer or waterway.

(23 cm) of the fill collar top using gage rod (3) to measure distance, pour in the required amount of foam liquid (4) per
