15Foam Downer – Optional Accessory:A key problem with portable extractors is that they have small tanks where foam dissipates slowly. If youhave had issues with foam or are anticipating foaming problems, you will want to setup your Foam Downer.Foam can be drawn into the vacuums before the vacuum shutoff closes. Foam and water blowing out thevacuum makes a big mess, can decrease vacuum lift and damage the vacuum motors.The Foam Downer kills foam as waste water enters the machine. Place a container of liquid defoamer on thetop of your MX3-1200E. The vacuum air flow siphons the liquid defoamer through Foam Downer into thevacuum tank, breaking down the foam before it can cause any damage or make a mess.• Mounts and is ready to use in seconds• Uses defoamer very economically• NO LABOR is involved to spray or spread defoamer – it’s all automatic• Keeps silicone defoamers off the floor where they can cause resoiling problemsThe Foam Downer is an attachment that allows the vacuum to draw a small amount of defoamer in aconstant slow flow into the waste tank of the Nautilus. We recommend using a diluted defoaming solution offour ounces of defoamer to one gallon of water (1-32) or 31.35ml per liter. Place the draw tube into the gallonof diluted defoamer and open the needle valve one half turn as your starting point. If this is not sufficient tobreak down the foam you can open the valve more or add more defoamer to the water to make a strongersolution.With the valve open one half turn it will take approximately one half hour to drain the gallon of diluteddefoaming solution.FOAMDOWNERAH17FOAM DOWNER cannot be usedwith 2” Male Flash Cuff connectoron machine.
