FOAM PUMP MOUNTING
Position the foam pump and motor
assembly in the desired location on the
apparatus. When installing the foam pump
and motor assembly, the assembly should
be kept in a
horizontal
position with the
base plate on the bottom (see figure 2-1).
Although the system is sealed and designed
to be resistant to the harsh environment of
fire fighting apparatus, a compartment with
easy operator access is the recommended
installation location.
The base plate of the foam pump and
motor assembly must be anchored to a
surface or structure that is rigid and of
adequate strength to withstand the
vibration and stresses of apparatus
operation. Figures 2-2 and 2-3 provide the
mounting envelope dimensions for the Hale
FoamMaster foam pump and motor
assembly.
Position the foam pump so the ON/OFF
switch and bypass valve are easily
accessible. When the Hale FoamMaster
system is ordered without the ADT option, a
separate bypass valve is included that may
be removed from the foam pump and
mounted on a truck panel for easier
access. When the Hale FoamMaster system
is ordered with the ADT option, the
operating knob can be removed from the
bypass valve actuator and an extension
rod can be installed to permit remote
operation. In either instance the foam
pump and motor assembly must be located
to permit proper operation of the bypass
valve.
