How to Use the Chem-X Foaming Lance System (Freedom Foamer)

What You’ll Need:

• Pressure washer (1–6 GPM, 1000–4000 PSI)
• Chem-X Freedom Foamer Lance
• Shut-off spray gun (like the MTM Hydro SGS35)
• Foam injector (ST-160 for single step or ST-164 for dual-step)
• Chem-X soaps (Old Glory OR Stars + Stripes)
• Optional: KEW to QC adapter for up-close rinsing

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Connect the System

• Attach the Freedom Foamer Lance to your trigger gun.

• Ensure all KEW or QC connections are secure.

  Insert the draw tube(s) from your foam injector into your soap container(s).

  • For Old Glory, use one tube and ST-160.
  • For Stars + Stripes, use the dual-inlet ST-164 and connect to both soap jugs.

2. Select Your Soap (If Using Dual Injector)

• Flip the switch or lever on the ST-164 injector to choose either Stripes (Step 1) or Stars (Step 2).
• For a single-step system, like Old Glory, just begin foaming.

3. Start Foaming

• Squeeze the trigger to apply a rich foam layer.
• Foam from bottom to top (reduces streaking).
• Apply in shaded areas or during cooler parts of the day.
• Work in small sections so the soap doesn’t dry before you rinse.

4. Dwell Time

• Let the foam sit for about 30–60 seconds.
• Don’t let it dry—this is key to avoiding spots or damage.

5. Rinse Thoroughly

• Rinse with high-pressure water, ideally 3000 PSI+
• Rinse from bottom to top, then top to bottom for full coverage.
• Use the included KEW to QC adapter if you want to switch to a rinse nozzle for close-up cleaning.

6. Optional: Repeat for Step 2

• If using Stars + Stripes, switch to Stars after rinsing Stripes.
• Repeat the foam → dwell → rinse process.

Tips for Best Results

• Use water at ~125°–130°F for optimal foam performance.
• Keep your foam agitator pad in good condition (replace as needed).
• Store your Freedom Foamer indoors to prevent cold-weather damage.
• Always disconnect your soap pickup lines and flush with water after use.
