Maintenance and inspection records are important documents in a warranty claim.
Whenever the apparatus or a piece of equipment onboard is found broken, defective, or in need of repair, the driver operator should follow the established policy of the AHJ for documentation, reporting, and following up status repair.
Maintenance
Keeping the apparatus in a state of usefulness and readiness.
Knee sit method
Best used for a heavier person who is conscious and able to control his or her movements but is strong enough to descend on.
Increasing the angle of the aerial device away from its longitudinal axis of the truck DECREASES the load weight that can be carried safely.
Good stability occurs at angles up to
90% over 90% is unsafe.
If a pulley is provided on aerial device, the working end of a rope should only be anchored to a lower section of the ladder.
130 ft. Every floor/ coverage from
Stand pipe.
Cavitation can occur when operating/ often occurs during drafting ops.
Water supply pumpers should be the apparatus with largest pumping capacity.
Many modern fuels, gasoline, are blended with up to 15% additives treat these products polar solvents during emergency ops.
Must be manually set by driver op. Regen/ set by driver.
Delay pumping/ set pumper with biggest pump at the hydrant.
Reason for increasing amount of flow
Increase pump discharge pressure
Add another pumper to the relay
Relay pumping ops begin with largest capacity pumper at water source.
Conductivity foam/ foam test for conductivity of foam.
Polar solvents mixes with water.
Rain down method used primarily for above ground storage tanks.
Back up hydraulic pump/ same motion.
Detachable ladders pipes should not have a horizontal range of movement exceeding 15 % in either direction.
Clean motor and parts so you can see leaks
Pump test at
65% at 150 gpm
Power cords no grater than 200ft
Foam nozzles perform better at 1.0 than 0.5
Power cords no greater than200 ft
Foam nozzles perform better at
1.0 than 0.5
Rear pump trucks are best for chassis and compartment space
When ABS skid push the peddle
Class A foam vertical is best applied dry
Class A foam for a fuel fire is the best medium
Check fluid when system is cold
When one than more emergency vehicle is responding units should travel 300-500 feet apart
