3.2 STATIONARY PUMPING OPERATIONS
Pumping From a Hydrant, General Operation
1. Position the truck for the best hydrant hookup and discharge hose layout.
2. Bring the truck to a complete stop and apply the truck parking brake.
3. Shift the truck transmission to the NEUTRAL position. See WARNING !
note on page 27.
4. Make sure the truck is at a complete stop before you attempt to shift from
ROAD to PUMP. Also see heading “Pump-To-Road Shift Procedures” on
page 39.
Engage the PTO (power take-off) per the PTO manufacturer’s instructions
(move the in-cab pump shift control valve from the ROAD position to the
PUMP position). The GREEN shift warning lights illuminate in a second or
two, indicating a complete shift. (See Figure 3-1: “Driver’s Compartment
Indicator Lights.”)

Note: If the truck manufacturer has used another in-cab valve to achieve pump shift
or offers an electric switch, follow the instructions supplied with that valve.
