and dump site of? - ✔✔35 MPH
✔✔To determine the total flow rate using actual testing method? - ✔✔Divide the amount
of water dumped by the trip time
✔✔During the pre service hydrostatic test, each pump is hydrostatically test at a
minimum of? - ✔✔500 PSI over the pump's designed maximum operating pressure for
ten minutes.

MWS apparatus
✔✔The basic goal of multiple portable water tank operation is to keep? - ✔✔The tank
being drafted from full at all times
✔✔During the set up of multiple water tanks at a water shuttle operation, the second
portable tank is filled: - ✔✔after the first tank is full and in use
✔✔Traveling at high speeds on a curvy road may cause an MWS apparatus to? -
✔✔Leave the road surface and roll over
✔✔Identify a true statement about a MWS apparatus with an automatic transmission? -
✔✔The automatic transmission gives you the option of selecting a gear.
✔✔Identify THREE factors that are analyzed to determine total flow rate in gallons per
minute to evaluate the efficiency of MWS apparatus - ✔✔travel time
dump time
filling time
✔✔Place steps for Part 2 of the pressure control test in the correct order? - ✔✔1. Set
the fire pump so that it is discharging at a net pump discharge pressure of 150 psi
2. Reduce the pumping engine throttle until the net pump discharge pressure drops to
90 psi
3. Set the pressure control device to maintain the discharge pressure at 90 psi.
4. Close the flowing valves one at a time.
5. The pump discharge pressure should rise no more than 30 psi when all valves are
closed.
✔✔Identify three conditions where you should drive an MWS apparatus in low gear? -
✔✔climbing a hill
traveling around a corner
approaching an intersection
