Retrofitting into existing apparatus also includes:
Modifying the water distribution system to install compressed air inputs, foam
distribution manifold, check valves, the compressor cooling loop, and the balance
valve.
Installing additional discharges (optional)
A. Installing Waterous Components
Refer to the Basic CAFS, Hydraulic, and Auto-Sync schematics in this manual to see how
the Waterous components connect to the vehicle's foam and water distribution systems.
Within the guidelines given here, components can be installed wherever there is room for
them to be securely mounted. See the dimensional drawings in the rear.
Warning:
Do not damage the vehicle chassis (also called frame or undercarriage) during
installation. Check with the vehicle manufacturer to make sure the planned welds
and bolts are in acceptable areas.
Components must be bolted to brackets welded to the pump compartment frame,
or bolted directly to the pump compartment frame.
Allow enough clearance for routine maintenance, including clearance for
checking oil, adding oil, adjusting pressure, changing filters, cleaning screens or
opening drain valves.
The sump (oil/air reservoir) can be mounted at the same level as the
compressor, or below it. If the sump must be mounted above the compressor
(12 inches maximum), contact Waterous for the correct check valve to prevent
compressor flooding.
The sump must be horizontal, level, and in the proper orientation. Any extension
to the sight glass must be straight and level.
The oil sight glass must be visible after all the components are installed so oil
level can be monitored easily.
The heat exchanger must be installed horizontally, with the drain at the lowest
point.
To prevent damage to hydraulic and air lines, or accidentally disconnecting them,
run them along the support beams of the pump compartment whenever possible,
bundled with cable ties or other fasteners.
Wires, hoses, or tubing that passes through metal, such as a compartment panel,
must have a protective bushing or shield around the edge of the hole to protect
against abrasion.
To make troubleshooting easier, use colored air hoses as supplied, and shown
on the air schematic.
Labeling the lines is strongly recommended.
