7.0 MAINTENANCE

TFT  products  are  designed  and  manufactured  to  be  damage  resistant  and  require  minimal  maintenance.  However,  as  the  primary

firefighting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly. The unit should be kept clean and free of dirt by rinsing

with water after each use. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before placing the unit in service. To help

prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment. 
In applications where appliances are left continuously connected to the apparatus or other devices or are used where water is trapped

inside the appliance, the appliance must be flushed with fresh water following each use and inspected for damage.
This appliance should be disconnected, cleaned and visually inspected inside and out at least quarterly, or as water quality and use may

require.  Moving  parts  such  as  handles,  valve  ball  and  couplings  should  be  checked  for  smooth  and  free  operation.  Seals  shall  be

greased as needed with Silicone based grease such as Molykote 112. Any scrapes that expose bare aluminum should be cleaned and

touched up with enamel paint such as Rust-Oleum. Replace any missing or damaged parts before returning to service. 
Any equipment taken out of service due to failure should be returned to the factory for repair or replacement. If you have any questions

regarding the testing or maintenance of your valve, please call Task Force Tips at 800-348-2686.
