4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Tool Daily Foam Cannon for use:

1. Prepare the Solution: Fill the foam cannon bottle with your desired car wash soap and warm water. A common ratio is 1 part soap to 4-5 parts water, but this can be adjusted based on the soap's concentration and desired foam thickness. Do not fill directly from a garden hose or faucet.

3. Adjust Foam Level: Turn the top knob (water regulator) on the foam cannon to adjust the foam dispensing amount. Turning it right (-) will result in less water and thicker foam, while turning it left (+) will result in more water and less foam.

4. Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the front nozzle to change the spray pattern from a narrow stream to a wide fan.

5. Operating Instructions

Once set up, your foam cannon is ready for operation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate safety gear, including eye protection.

1. Pre-Rinse (Optional): For heavily soiled surfaces, a quick pre-rinse with plain water from your pressure washer can help remove loose dirt.
2. Apply Foam: With the foam cannon attached and adjusted, activate your pressure washer. Spray the foam evenly over the surface you wish to clean. The thick foam will cling to the surface, encapsulating dirt and allowing it to be easily rinsed away.

3. Dwell Time: Allow the foam to dwell on the surface for a few minutes (refer to your soap's instructions for specific dwell times). Do not let the foam dry on the surface.
4. Agitation (Optional): For stubborn dirt, gently agitate the foamed surface with a soft wash mitt or brush.
5. Rinse: Detach the foam cannon and re-attach a standard pressure washer nozzle (e.g., a 40-degree or 25-degree tip). Thoroughly rinse the foamed surface from top to bottom until all soap residue is gone.

Using the Nozzle Tips:

The included 5 nozzle tips offer different spray angles for various applications:

• Red (0°): High-pressure, pinpoint stream for tough spots and hard-to-reach areas. Use with caution.
• Yellow (15°): Narrow, high-pressure spray for concrete, brick, and stubborn stains.
• Green (25°): Medium-pressure, wider spray for painted surfaces, wood, siding, fences, and lawn mowers.
• White (40°): Wide, low-pressure spray for windows and screens, or general rinsing.
• Black (65° / Soap Nozzle): Lowest pressure, widest spray, specifically designed for applying detergents and chemicals.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your foam cannon.

1. Rinse After Each Use: After each use, fill the foam cannon bottle with clean water and run it through the pressure washer until only clear water comes out. This flushes out any remaining soap, preventing clogs and corrosion.
2. Clean the Foam Maker: Periodically, or if foam production decreases, clean the internal foam maker (mesh filter). Disassemble the foam cannon as shown in the diagram below, remove the foam maker, and rinse it thoroughly. If heavily clogged, soak it in warm water or a mild cleaning solution.

4. Storage: Store the foam cannon in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
