Inspect Water and Foam Tanks
Visually inspect water and foam tanks for proper level and gauge readings. If
any debris is present, flush the tanks to protect the pump from wear caused by
dirty water or foam concentrate.
Check Roof and Bumper Turrets
If the apparatus is so equipped, verify that the turrets function properly, and no
leaks are present. Make repairs immediately.
Visually inspect all piping and valves on the pump and auxiliary equipment for
corrosion or damage.

Valve Lubrication
1. On handwheel-type valves, including PM, PMD, and Transfer Valve Con-
trols, if necessary, first remove old grease and paint, use a dry lubricating
spray on gears.
2. Lubricate suction threads with a light coat of grease.
Gearbox Lubrication
Incorrect oil types or amounts of oil result in unnecessary high oil temperature
and possible wear or damage. Change the oil every 12 months, depending on
pump usage. All lubricants must meet service rating API GL-5 requirements.
