Fire Pump Mounting
For fire pump mounting instructions, see F-1031, Section 3011,
CM/CS Installation Instructions.
Foam Pump Mounting
Required if the Foam Pump is not mounted on the Fire Pump at the factory (shipped loose).
Install Foam Pump in Apparatus:
The Motor / Pump Assembly must be mounted horizontally. The base must be
anchored to a surface or structure that is rigid and of adequate strength to
withstand the vibration and stresses of apparatus operation. For dimensions of
mounting bracket, see page 7 (Advantus 3) or page 8 (Advantus 6).
Flexible hose is required to make the hose connections from the Motor / Pump
Assembly to the foam tank.
DO NOT hard pipe the system.
Consider access requirements for checking the foam pump. Be sure the foam
concentrate hoses can be properly routed to the inlets and outlets on the foam
pump.
Foam concentrates should gravity feed to the foam pump inlet from the foam
tank. However the systems are capable of drafting up to one meter vertically.
The Motor / Pump Assembly must be mounted in an area to avoid excessive
exhaust system heat buildup.
Protect the hoses and wiring to prevent chafing and abrasion during operation
of the foam system.
Protect the Motor / Pump Assembly from excessive road spray and debris.
Although the system is sealed and designed to be resistant to the harsh envir‐
onment of fire fighting apparatus, a protected compartment with easy operator
access is the recommended installation location.
Install foam injection hose and cables between Foam Pump and Foam
