CAUTION !

function properly.

Valve Maintenance

Properly functioning valves are integral to the operation of the pump. Refer to
the separate valve manual for proper valve maintenance procedures.

For example, lubricate all moving parts of the suction, discharge, hose drain,
and multi-drain valves and valve linkage with a good grade, lithium base grease.
For recommended grease, see “Appendix C1: Lube and Sealant Specifications”
on page 115.

Note: The PMD valve should be lubricated every six (6) months.

Intake Strainers

Check and clean any debris from the intake.

Flush the pump, if required, using departmental / company procedures.

Repair or replace any damaged strainers.

Verify All Gauges are in Working Order

Any gauge that is repeated in the cab or another panel must agree with the
gauge on the operator's panel. Gauges not reading within 10% of the cali-
brated test gauge must be removed from service and re-calibrated.

Operate Pump Controls

Operate the pump drive controls to verify the pump engages. Verify all indicator
lights work properly.
