WATERAX MINI-STRIKER Owner's Manual
Installation
Depending on your model and configuration ordered, you may require additional
accessories from WATERAX or from third-party vendors, for example, control panels,
batteries, and fuel lines. You will also require hoses and nozzles as well as other fire
apparatus plumbing which can be purchased through your WATERAX representative.
Follow the instructions and heed all warnings in any documentation that you receive with
the accessories you purchase.
Plumbing
When mounting manifolds to the pump, the manifolds must be self-supporting and
coupled to the pump by means of a flex coupling such as a Victaulic® coupling or flex
hose.
Pump End Mounting
The pump end can be rotated to aid with the apparatus piping connections. The quick
release pump clamp securely holds the pump end in the desired position. Always ensure
that the water can be drained from the pump end to keep it from cracking in freezing
weather. A drain valve is available from WATERAX (item no 801104).
Fastening to Truck/Apparatus
WATERAX provides certain accessories used in vehicle-mount configurations. Model
MSTR-V of the MINI-STRIKER series is equipped with four industrial isolators mounted
directly to the engine base with M6 x 1.0 female thread.
When adding any equipment to a vehicle, follow all instructions and heed all warnings
provided by manufacturers of the apparatus and any third-party accessories. Follow all
documentation that ships with any accessories you have ordered such as vibration
mounts or rails. Your company's internal policies and guidelines must also be followed.
Before installing the pump in a vehicle, plan for adequate access to any fill caps such as
those for oil, fuel as well as any other part of the pump or engine that is frequently
accessed or inspected (valves, panels, primers, filters, etc.). Make note of components
that become hot when operating such as mufflers and engine blocks, and always ensure
a safe clearance around them.
