Stainless Max Series Pumps 3-7
Operating Procedures
2. Bring the truck to a complete stop before attempting to connect
suction hoses or shifting from ROAD to PUMP.
3. Apply the truck parking brake.
4. Shift the truck transmission to NEUTRAL.
CAUTION !
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE PUMP TRANSMISSION WHILE THE
TRUCK TRANSMISSION IS IN GEAR. ALWAYS SWITCH THE TRUCK
TRANSMISSION TO “N” AND VERIFY THE SPEEDOMETER IS AT ZERO
“0” BEFORE MAKING THE PUMP TRANSMISSION SHIFT. (SEE FIGURE
3-1: “DRIVER’S COMPARTMENT INDICATOR LIGHTS.”)
5. Engage the PTO. (Move the in-cab pump shift control valve from
the ROAD position to the PUMP position. Within a few seconds
the shift warning indicator lights, indicating a complete shift.)
Note: If the truck manufacturer has used another in-cab valve to
achieve pump shift or has an electric switch, follow the instructions
supplied with that valve.
6. After pump shift is complete, place the truck transmission in the
proper pump operating range or gear.
For most operation conditions, this is the direct drive (1:1 ratio).
In addition, the speedometer should read 5 MPH to 15 MPH (8-
15 KMH) after the shift has been completed.
7. If the shift does not complete, shift truck transmission to “N” and
repeat the entire procedure.
Note that some vehicles drive the speedometer from the front
wheel of the chassis. In this case, the speedometer will not read
5 to 15 MPH after shifting to the PUMP position. See the truck
manual for details.
WARNING !
DO NOT LEAVE THE CAB OR ATTEMPT TO PUMP UNTIL ALL THE
GREEN PUMP LIGHTS IN THE CAB AND PANEL ARE ON.
8. Exit the driving compartment only after all the above steps are
completed and the indicator lights in the cab and on the panel are
ON.
