P-3 8.1

Question 16

T/F You must bring hydrant water into the pump through a gated inlet when operating booster water

Answer 16

True: removing the cap of NON-gated inlet will cause loss of water from booster tank & introduce air losing prime
P-3 10.3.4

Question 17

What bulbs do FF’s replace

Answer 17

Headlight bulbs- all other bulbs notify Fleet Services

Question 18

When tread wear on tires reach _ request replacement

Answer 18

3/16” in depth

Question 19

Friction loss for 1 3/4” HL vs 2 1/2” HL

Answer 19

1 3/4” with 15/16” MST loses 50 psi at noz + 20 psi per length
2 1/2” with 1 1/8” MST loses 40 psi at noz + 5 psi per length
Both lose 5 psi for each story above ground
P-3 12.2

Question 20

PPG shall be used in _

Answer 20

P-3 1.12

Question 22

Which accurately describes the Pro-Pressure Governor on Dept Eng rigs
A. Controls discharge pressure of the pump

C. Positive displacement pump
D. Indicates negative or vacuum pressure

Answer 22

A
P-3 1.8

B. PPG can operate in Pressure Mode or RPM Mode

B. If the ground is not level, always ensure the high side stabilizer is fully extended horizontally & lowered to its maximum
C. LCCs may have to forego a better position for the use of the AL to a less desirable location in order to allow full horizontal extension of the inboard stabilizer

Answer 28

C
L-7 3.3, 5.4.1, 5.4.4

A & B. Begin extending & lowering inboard stabilizer (working side) 1st. When ground is NOT LEVEL low side stabilizer shall be fully extended horizontally & lowered to it max. High side shall then be extended as necessary & lowered to a point that levels the rig. If inboard stabilizer (working side) is also high side, it must be fully extended horizontally & then lowered to level rig. This may require LCC forego a better position for use of AL to a less desirable location such as deploying stabilizer between 2 parked cars
D 15 degrees from center line
