1-3. Responsibility
Study carefully this manual and the manuals for major components such as pump, engine, and other allied
equipment. Make sure that all operators and other users also completely understand their contents.
The warnings, cautions, and procedures listed in these manuals must be part of the fire department's safety
program.
As the operator of this vehicle and pumping equipment, you are responsible for:
•
Understanding the function of each component of the pumping system.
• Understanding how to adjust each control to obtain the results you want.
• Maintaining control of the pumping system at all times.
• Remaining proficient in use, so at a fire you can operate and make successful changes in the operation quickly,
without having to read the operator's instructions or safety warning labels.
• Practicing proper manual override and emergency shutdown procedures, so you can respond immediately in
an emergency or during the failure of a component. Remember stress is high. Your failure to practice increases
the odds you will forget or do it wrong in the heat of the moment.
1-4. Daily Checks
At start of shift, follow your department's apparatus check.
It is critically important that you turn each control—valve, gate, or switch, etc.—ON and OFF or OPEN and CLOSED.
You want to make sure they work now. You don't want to find out at a fire.
ALWAYS check the controls you rarely use. That also reminds you of their location and their function.
If you find a control whose function you do not know, then right away find out what it does. Every control serves a
purpose. You must know the purpose and how to use the control.
Pierce Customer Service is always available to help you and answer your questions. Call 888-Y-PIERCE (888-974-
3723).
1-5. Custom Products
Your department developed specifications for this fire apparatus. It purchased a Pierce apparatus that is built to meet
those specifications. The information in this manual will be generic at times.
Due to the highly customized nature of each Pierce fire apparatus, the exact location of each component in the
pumper system will vary.
This manual describes basic controls. Not every apparatus will have all controls. Some will have extra controls, as
determined by each fire department's specification.
Pictures describe typical components or devices. Actual parts might vary from those pictured.
You must learn the location and function of all controls, switches, gauges, valves, inlets, and discharges.
Major inconsistencies between your vehicle and the information contained in this manual should be directed to your
Pierce Dealer or Sales Representative.
