operating specifications. Must not exceed the maximum pressure, flow, and
temperature ratings of the product.

DETERGENT DISPENSING METHOD
THE BOSS
™
Foam Cannon features two detergent dispensing methods:
1. Auto-Mix Method
Remove jar from cannon, pour concentrate into jar or screw on Griot’s Garage 35oz.
bottle to internal cap threads. Select the appropriate metering tip from the chart on
the back page and insert snugly into the pick-up ball at the bottom of the poly-tube.
Note: Tip will be dependent on the type of pressure washer you have. (See AUTO-
MIX tip recommendation chart below)
2. Manual-Mix Method
Dispensing of pre-mixed, ready-to-use (RTU) solution (Water : Detergent). This is the
typical method, requiring the user to pre-mix a concentrate prior to use. Traditional
products require 2-3 ounces of concentrate, while BOSS
™
Foaming System products
are to be diluted 20:1, using 1.6oz of concentrate to water (32oz). See reference
chart of common applications of Griot’s Garage products on back page.
MAINTENANCE
Caution:
With poor maintenance, failure may occur following one use.
Following every use, prior to storage, rinse cannon thoroughly with clear water.
Rinse cup out and add clear water, then run cannon until foam ceases and is no
longer visible. Failure to thoroughly flush cannon will lead to premature failure of
the stainless steel foaming mesh.
SERVICE
Should the foam cannon’s foam output diminish or seize during normal operation,
the Stainless Steel Foaming Mesh will require replacement. Use Griot’s Garage
replacement parts only – THE BOSS™ Foam Cannon REBUILD KIT - Item # BFKIT.
