WARNING
Pressure Hazard. May result in personal injury or
death.
Prior to removal of hoses, caps or other closures with
pump intake or pump discharge connections, relieve
pressure by opening drains.
!
WARNING
Scalding Water Hazard. May result in serious
burns.
When operating the pump, be sure to open at least
one discharge valve slightly to prevent the pump from
overheating. If the pump runs for a few minutes
completely closed, it may heat the water enough to
scald someone when the valve is opened.
Overheating can damage the packing, seals and
other pump parts. If the apparatus builder has
installed a by-pass system or other provision
designed to prevent overheating, opening a discharge
valve may be unnecessary.
1. Disengage pump drive.
2. If pumping anything but clean water, remove all
intake and discharge caps, open all valves and open
all drains. Flush entire system with clean, fresh water
for several minutes to remove all traces of impurities.
3. If pump is kept full of water when not in use, make
sure water is clean and non-corrosive. Make sure the
pump is completely full or completely drained -
never partially full.
NOTICE
!
WARNING
Unexpected Truck Movement. May result in
personal injury or death.
Failure to properly shift transmission in accordance
with the transmission operating instructions may result
in unexpected truck movement which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
1. Open valves in piping between water tank and pump
intake and at least one discharge valve.
2. Allow about 30 seconds for water to flow into pump.
NOTE: Priming the pump may be necessary under
some conditions because of air trapped in the
pump and piping.
3. Engage pump drive and accelerate engine to obtain
desired discharge pressure and capacity.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to pump more water than is avail-
able from the water tank. Always make sure the
intake compound gage reading stays above zero.
Freezing water hazard. May cause damage to
the pump.
If the pump is exposed to freezing temperatures,
drain all water from pump, lines and accessories.
4. Close all drains and install intake and discharge
caps.
5. If truck is equipped with a priming pump, operate it
until fluid is discharged from priming pump discharge
pipe. Also check fluid level in priming tank, and refill
if necessary.
For pump and roll operation, engage the PTO as directed
by the apparatus builder.
