❑ DO NOT perform maintenance on the Hale CAFSPro system while the
unit is running. Make sure the system is shut down and components
have cooled before attempting maintenance.
❑ The operating pressure range of the CAFSPro compressed air foam
system is 75-150 psi (5.2-10.4 BAR).
WARNING !
DO NOT EXCEED 150 PSI (10.3 BAR).
❑ Do not use a pump pressure governor in the pressure control mode
with a CAFS system. Reduced pump speed, inherent in a pressure
governor in the PSI mode, reduces the effectiveness of the CAFS fire
fighting output streams. Use only the RPM or Speed Control modes.
CAUTION !
THE PROPER OIL LEVEL MUST BE MAINTAINED IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR
SYSTEM AT ALL TIMES. LOW OIL LEVEL OR NO OIL COULD RESULT IN
EXCESSIVE COMPRESSOR TEMPERATURE AND POSSIBLE COMPRESSOR
FIRE. OVER FILLING AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN SYSTEM
MALFUNCTIONING.
THE FIRE PUMP IS EQUIPPED WITH A MECHANICAL SEAL. DO NOT RUN
PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME OR SEAL DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
DO NOT EXCEED 195°F (91°C) DURING AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
OPERATION.
❑ DO NOT remove or alter any guard or insulating devices, or attempt to
operate the system when these guards are removed.
Make sure all access/service panels and covers are installed, closed
and latched tight, where applicable.
❑ DO NOT remove or alter any hydraulic or pneumatic connections,
electrical devices, etc. DO NOT tamper with or disconnect safety fea-
tures or modify protective guards (such as covers or doors). DO NOT
add or remove structural parts.
Doing so voids the CAFSPro warranty.
Any of the above could affect system capacity and/or safe operation of
the system and is a serious safety violation which could cause per-
sonal injury, weaken the construction of the system or affect safe oper-
ation of the CAFSPro Pump System.
