To operate the ADT, simply switch the toggle switch between positions A
and B, passing the “FLUSH” or center position. An indicator light illumi-
nates next to the position selected indicating the change has been success-
ful. The ADT flushes the foam concentrate manifold when you pause
between foam types to prevent congealing that occurs when Class “A” and
Class “B” foam concentrates mix.
Turn manual dual tank lever from the A to the B position with a pause in the
FLUSH position for about 5-10 seconds. When using Class “B” foam, pull
the lever back into the FLUSH position and flush the foam system to ensure
that all of the Class “B” foam is washed out of the foam pump. Then move
the lever to the A position and run the system until Class “A” foam solution
flows out of the discharges.
CAUTION !
DO NOT MIX TYPES OR BRANDS OF FOAM CONCENTRATES IN THE FOAM
TANK.
With an approved Class “A” foam concentrate, keep the system in “A tank
mode,” ready for immediate use.
Many foam manufacturers recommend that you use the foam system every
30-60 days to prevent foam chemical jelling or hardening. Check with the
foam concentrate manufacturer. If the truck is going to storage, flush the
foam pump and leave in flush mode.
4.6 CAFSPRO SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Although the Hale CAFSPro is fully integrated and safety-engineered, there
are still system warnings built in and fire ground practices that firefighters
and pump operators must follow to ensure safety.
WARNINGS !
WHEN THE PUMP IS IN GEAR, THE TANK-TO-PUMP VALVE IS AUTOMATI-
CALLY ENGAGED. THIS RESULTS IN THE VALVE HANDLE MOVING AWAY
FROM THE PUMP PANEL TO ITS FULLY EXTENDED LENGTH OF APPROXI-
MATELY 12” (305MM). KEEP THIS AREA CLEAR OF PERSONNEL AND
OBSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT USE CAPS ON COMPRESSED AIR FOAM DISCHARGES. COM-
PRESSED AIR STORES ENERGY AND CAN BE DANGEROUS IF A CAP IS
REMOVED WHILE A VALVE IS OR WAS OPENED.
