FireBoss

Product HandBook

Machine Limitations

The FireBoss unit is subject to operating limitations.  It is the operators’ responsibility to ensure that this 
equipment is being operated safely and within these limitations.

Driving Stability

The FireBoss unit is heavy when filled with water.  To maintain stability while operating this unit:

• 

Ensure the trailer tyres are inflated to their correct pressure at all times.  Underinflated tyres can cause 
excessive lateral motion of the tyre, which may cause a rollover.

• 

Allow extra room for braking and turning when the tank is full.

• 

Ensure any side gradient (slope) is accounted for, especially when the FireBoss tank is full, as the unit 
will have a higher centre of gravity.
