PRECAUTIONS
1. Follow instructions in
NFPA 1911, Acceptance and Service Test of Fire
Department Pumping Apparatus
,
NFPA 291 Fire Flow Testing and
Marking of Hydrants or NFPA 1901 Automotive Fire Apparatus
to pro-
mote safe and valid testing.
2. Mount the test kit nozzle securely. Never attempt to use the tester “hand-
held”.
3. Direct the stream toward a cleared space that will remain clear throughout
the test. This precaution is especially important when testing hydrants
along travelled streets and sidewalks.
4. Give the pressure gauge a “tug” after making quick connect to assure that
the coupling has seated before pressurizing.
5. Use caution around the high velocity water streams and moving parts of
the test kit.
6. Check all hose and apparatus connections before pressurization.
7. Do not attempt to interchange tips with stream running or pressurize a tip
without lock ring secured in place.
8. Pitot blades are delicate and expensive. Replacement may require return of
the entire kit for factory recalibration. Always flush hydrant or pumper
before inserting blade in stream. Do not drop blades or place them where
they might be stepped on.
