IFSTA Pumping and Aerial 3rd Edition ch. 10Making a fire pump operational: - correct answer Commonly referred to as "putting the pump into gear" begins after the apparatus is properly positioned and the parking brake has been set. Another method for putting the pump into operation involves opening the appropriate discharges before you increase the discharge pressure by increasing engine speed: - correct answer 1)Open the tank to pump valve first. 2)Open the discharges to the house on is to be used. 3) Open the valves, and the hose lines begin to fill with water. 4)Increase the throttle and the pressure in the hose lines will increase. If the nozzle is already open, the air will bleed off and you may set the discharge pressure accordingly. Otherwise, when hose lines are ready for water, open the appropriate discharges before the discharge pressure is developed. 5)Reach the proper pressure only when water is flowing. Once the hose line is opened, you may need to adjust the pressure accordingly. While the pump is in operation, the driver/operator must perform the following: - correct answer -Monitor all gauges associated with the engine as well as the operation the fire pump -adjust the throttle until the desired flow rate is achieved if the flow meter is in use. To begin the transition to external water, the driver/operator should: - correct answer 1) Connect the supply line into an appropriate intake of the fire pump. 2) make the connection to an intake with a closed gate valve. The pump is already in operation. Air in the empty supply hose will enter the pump it may cause problems for the attack lines already been supplied. 3). Open the bleeder valve on the gated intake so that air can escape ahead of the water supply. When the air has been purged from the bleeder and a steady stream of water drains from the valve, it may be shut. The water supply is now at the pump and ready for transition.
