FireGuard
™
Pump Unit
The FireGuard is fitted with a single impeller Aussie Pumps QP154SX firefighting pump as standard. The pump
is coupled to a Honda GX50 recoil (pull) start 4-stroke engine, capable of delivering 210L/min. The pump unit
is fitted to a stainless steel mounting plate on the top of the tank. The mounting plate incorporates a bracket
to secure the fire hose.
Fire Hose
An 18m 19mm fire hose is provided as standard, complete with a nozzle that adjusts from closed through to jet
and mist sprays, depending on the requirement.
Frame
An optional fabricated, hot dipped galvanised steel mounting frame is available for both the 220 and 400 litre
units. The frame has forklift pockets for easy movement.
Machine Limitations
The FireGuard 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 FireGuard unit is heavy when filled with water. To maintain stability while operating this unit:
•
Ensure the vehicle’s 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 FireGuard tank is full, as the
unit will have a higher centre of gravity.
