SECTION 1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. For Manual Auto-sync
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.
NOTE: Monitor compressor instruments during any and all operations.
C. Water Pumping Operations
All unit operations begin with pumping water. Follow the instructions provided in the apparatus manuals
for operations involving pumping water.
For water only operations, the compressor PTO shift control should be in the "OFF" position, which
disengages the air compressor.
CAUTION:
D. Foam Solution Operations
Follow the instructions above for water pumping operations. Turn on the foam proportioner to inject
foam concentrate into the water stream. Refer to the foam proportioner operation manual for
instructions in the proper operation of the installed proportioning system.
