Caution A caution alerts you to a procedure or condition that may result in serious damage to equipment or its failure to operate as expected Note: A note points out important information.

  • Page 3: Section 1. Operating Instructions

    Figure 1 Manual Auto-sync panel B. Multiple Uses A pumper equipped with a Waterous compressed air foam unit can be operated in several pumping modes; water only, foam solution without compressed air, compressed air foam and compressed air only for support operations such as operating air tools, filling rescue air bags, etc. It is possible to pump foam solution from one discharge while pumping compressed air foam from another, or varying foam consistencies (expansion ratios) from different discharges simultaneously.

  • Page 4: Compressed Air Foam Operations

    E. Compressed Air Foam Operations Follow the instructions above for foam solution operations. Safe operations dictate the presence of foam concentrate in the water stream prior to the injection of compressed air. If foam concentrate is not present, a condition known as “slug flow” will occur. This is where unmixed water and air is discharged through a nozzle in an erratic manner.
  • Page 5 WARNINGS Compressed air can be dangerous. Read and understand the operating instructions for the Waterous compressed air foam unit and individual components prior to operating. • DO NOT use the compressed air foam unit as an air source for SCBA or any breathing air supply.

  • Page 6: Shut-Down Procedure

    G. Shut-Down Procedure Close air valve(s) Turn off Foam proportioner Flow clear water through discharge hose(s) until no bubbles are present Close discharge valve(s) 5. Move Auto-Sync controls to AUTO / UNLOAD 6. Move the air compressor PTO switch to the “OFF” position After the compressor PTO is disengaged, the system will vent itself, creating an audible hiss as compressed air is evacuated from the pressure vessel / sump.

  • Page 7: Section 2. Air Compressors

    SECTION 2. AIR COMPRESSORS Figure 2 CE 55 G A. How It Works The air compressor used in this application is an oil flooded rotary screw type. Rotary screw air compressors are very common in industrial applications. This type of compressor injects oil into itself, where it lubricates, seals, cools, and silences the compressor.

  • Page 8: Section 3. System Service And Maintenance

    There is a drain plug located at the bottom of the sump. The oil fill cap is located on top of the unit. 3. Change the compressor system oil filter at the same time as the oil is changed. Call Waterous for replacement elements.

  • Page 10: Wye Strainer For Cooler

    Caution: Waterous is not responsible for damage due to plugged strainers. If the customer's water system contains excessive debris, or the vehicle relies on drafting for its water supply, it may be necessary to install a larger strainer and/or a clean-out valve on the wye-strainer.

  • Page 11: Section 4. Cafs Nozzle / Flow Rate / Hose Combinations

    SECTION 4. CAFS NOZZLE / FLOW RATE / HOSE COMBINATIONS A. Nozzles Compressed air foam can be discharged through various types and sizes of nozzles. Fog nozzles break down the bubble structure of the foam. This results in “wetter” or reduced expansion foam. The preferred way to make foam is utilizing smooth bore nozzles with a given hose diameter, smaller tips will discharge “wetter”...
