of different foam agents (either type or manufacturer) may cause deterioration of
foam agent, improper proportioning and poor performance in a fire situation.
Mixing of Class A and Class B foam agents may result in a chemical reaction which
can create globules, which can clog orifices and cause system failure.
Failure to flush foam system after each foam use could result in equipment damage.
NOTE
Do not open foam agent supply tanks while performing flush procedures.
Before flushing system, make sure that FOAM SYSTEM switch is in off
