Tank inspection and/or cleaning must be regularly performed, with completely empty tank, by
an operator who has been previously authorized, educated and trained, and learned about
possible hazards (exhalation) which can be generated within the tank or owing to machining
operations.
The dedicated operator, before starting the operation, must provide him/herself with individual
protection device (I.P.D.), such as helmet, gloves, boots, mask, etc..
The dedicated operator must perform tank inspection and/or cleaning with help from another
operator, who remains outside, on the tank roof close to the gangway and so, besides helping
during normal operative phases, can rapidly operate in case of any accidents (fainting
indisposition) which might happen to the dedicated operator during work.
THE DEDICATED OPERATOR MUST PERFORM INSPECTION AND/OR

CLEANING OPERATIONS PROVIDED WITH ADEQUATE INDIVIDUAL
PROTECTION DEVICES AND HELPED BY ANOTHER OPERATOR!
For tank filling using always clean water!
IN CASE THE EXCEPTIONAL USE DIRTY WATER (MUDDY, BRINY,..),

1- SAFETY DEVICES
The fire equipment, considered its specific aim and action rapidity, does not need particular
safety devices, apart from warning lights on the cab instrument panel.
Anyway, as a rule, it is better to check periodically that shutters open and close, that rotating
supports and clamp limit switches are in good conditions, that the material (belt, hooks..)
clamp status is good, in order to prevent dangerous situations both for the operator and other
people.
Check that the following limit switch sensor work efficiently:
• shutters;
• footboard;
and that also the related warning lights work efficiently.
To do this, open a shutter, tilting footboard, activate the monitor, etc… and check that the
related warning light turns on. Then check that it turns off after closing both the shutter,
footboard, etc...
Check warning lights a as well (beacons, compartment light, working headlights...).
2- PREREQUISITES OF THE OPERATOR IN CHARGE
Considered the specific target of fire equipment, it is clear that the operator in charge of it must
be authorized and adequately trained on the equipment functioning, which means that he must
know the content of the present handbook.
This type of training depends completely on the receiver, after a starting course held by our
technicians when the fire equipment is supplied.
3- CHECKS TO BE MADE BEFORE START UP
As mentioned before, the fire equipment is not fitted with particular safety devices which need
to be checked before start up, however, before using, it is better to check:
• that the extinguishing agent tank is full;

• that the vehicle fuel tank is full;
• the pump over gear oil level;
• the effective charge of pressure equipment (fire extinguishers, air cylinders for oxygen
respirators.... if equipped);
• general check of possible instruments installed of the fire equipment;
33
November ’10
4- ORDINARY VEHICLE UNSERVICING OPERATIONS
At the end of operations, when going back to the headquarters, the fire equipment must be
immediately put again in working conditions for the following emergency situation; in particular,
it necessary to:
• supply it with extinguishing fluid;

• supply fuel;
• check various levels;
Then, apply the ordinary procedure to make vehicle unserviceable after:
• deactivating the fire-fighting equipment;

• stopping the vehicle engine;
• engaging the parking brake;
5- EXTRAORDINARY VEHICLE UNSERVICING OPERATIONS
In case of extraordinary vehicle out of commission conditions for a long period (fault,
maintenance...), in addition to the above-mentioned operations, do also the following:
• discharge completely extinguishing fluid from the tanks, the pump and the pipes;
• disconnect the battery cables or activate the battery release control (if equipped);

1- WATER TANK REFUELLING BY HYDRANT
GIVE HYDRANT A RAPID RINSING BEFORE CONNECTION!
FOR WATER TANK FILLING FROM HYDRANT USING ONLY ONE

CONNECTION!
DO NOT USE ALL CONNECTIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY!
• Ascertain that all valves are closed;

• Connect the delivery hoses to the hydrant and to the connection 33 page 46 after
dismounting blank cap;
• Open the hydrant valve;
• Sufficiently open the control valve 32 page 46, check tank filling through level indicator 1
page 43 or 1 page 44 and fill up to the maximum capacity;
• When tank is full, the excess water comes out through the appropriate overflow pipe. Then,
close control valve 32 page 46 and hydrant valve, disconnect the connecting pipes and
replace cap on connection 33 page 46;
2- WATER SUCTION FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE
• Close all valves;

N.B.: Valve close: lever perpendicular to valve
Valve open: lever parallel to valve
• Connect the required No. of the suction pipes to suction inlet 20 page 44, applying the
appropriate standing valve and locking carefully with the appropriate wrenches supplied;
• Suction pipes must be perfectly sealed, since eventual infiltration of air in the pipe can cause
problems during priming;
IN CASE OF SANDY BOTTOM, IT IS ADVISABLE TO PLACE THE

STANDING VALVE ON A BOARD SO AS TO PROTECT THE PUMP!
• Check small priming tank is full of water. If necessary, fill with water using appropriate filling
plug 4 page 44;
• Operate as "PUMP ENGAGING" page 41 and check that warning light 17 page 41 and 5
page 43 are on;
• USING ONLY ACCELERATOR CONTROL 12 PAGE 43, bring the engine to 4500 revs/1';
• If pump is not under pressure and subsequently it does not prime, the automatism acts by
operating the priming pump (warning light 4 page 43 on) until the required operating pressure
is reached. Priming has taken place when water regularly comes out from discharge pipe of
small priming tank and from automatic disengaging of the priming pump (warning light 4
page 43 off) which will automatically work as soon as the pump is not able to prime;
PUMP MUST WORK WITHOUT WATER DURING PRIMING ONLY. IF PUMP

DOES NOT PRIME QUICKLY, CHECK THAT SUCTION PIPES, TAPS,
VALVES AND GREASE NIPPLES ARE WELL CLOSED AND PRIMING
PUMP TANK IS FULL OF WATER.
52
November ’10
3- WATER USE
IN CASE OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF THE PUMP, AND THEREFORE OF THE

VEHICLE ENGINE, PROVIDE FOR REMOVAL OF THE EXHAUST FUMES FROM THE
WORKPLACE, CONVEYING THEM INTO THE SPECIAL HOSES PROVIDED.
When operation "WATER SUCTION FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE" with pump engaged has
been carried out, only operate the accelerator control 12 page 43 to get required pressure.
Operate as follows:
TANK FILLING
• Operate lighting selector 3 page 43 for water tank filling using pump valve 17 page 44 open
(see level indicator 1 page 43 and/or 1 page 44);
(Max. filling pressure: 4 bar per manometer 24 page 45);
N.P. USE
ABRUPT PRESSURE CHANCES, IF POWERFUL, COULD THREATEN THE

STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR BREAK THE HOSES!
AVOID OPENING THE DELIVERY VALVE TOO QUICKLY AND ALSO PERFORMING
SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS.
ADAPT THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE TO THE DELIVERIES USED IF NECESSARY, TO
REDUCE THE PRESSURE, THE DELIVERY VALVES SHOULD BE CLOSED SLOWLY.
WHEN THE DELIVERY VALVES ARE CLOSED TO REDUCE THE PRESSURE, THE PUMP
SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO A MODERATE RATE OF R.P.M. USING THE MANUAL
ACCELERATOR, UNTIL WATER STARTS TO FLOW OUT AGAIN.
IN CASE OF INTERRUPTION IN THE USE OF THE PUMP FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD,
THE POWER TAKE OFF SHOULD DISCONNECTED.
BEFORE DOING THIS, BRING THE ENGINE TO MINIMUM R.P.M. USING THE MANUAL
ACCELERATOR.
• Open valve 11 page 44 of the N.P. delivery using the N.P. nozzles type 70 to connect to
above outlets;
• Open valve 30 page 46 of the N.P. delivery 31 page 46, using the N.P. nozzles type 70 to
connect to above outlets;
• Regulate variable jet nozzle 4 page 47;
• Open valve 6 page 47 and operated lighting push-button 11 page 47 and using monitor 23
page 37;
• For nenulized jet operate lever 3 page 47 for monitor barrel horizontal movement and turn
monitor barrel 5 page 47;
H.P. USE
• Open valve 10 page 44 using the hose-reel 2 page 44 with appropriate fog-gun 8 page 44;
DIFFERENT OPERATIONS CAN BE SIMULTANEOUSLY CARRIED OUT.
53
November ’10
4- WATER SUCTION FROM TANK
With pump stationary:
1- Close all valves and taps.

2- Operate lighting selector 2 page 43 for water suction from tank valve 9 page 44 open.
3- Operate as for "PUMP ENGAGING" page 41.
4- Operate as for "WATER USE" chapter 3 excluding paragraph 1.
NEVER FEED PUMP AT HIGH REVS., VIA VALVE 9 PAGE 44 BUT FIRST
REDUCE ENGINE TO A LOW SPEED (USING ACCELERATOR CONTROL
12 PAGE 43) TO AVOID WATER HAMMERING AND SUBSEQUENT
DAMAGE OF THE PUMP AND TRANSMISSION. THIS OPERATION IS
ALSO DISCOURAGED AT LOW REVOLUTIONS, THEREFORE ALWAYS
FOLLOW THE ABOVE MENTIONED INSTRUCTIONS (FROM
PARAGRAPH 1 TO 4).
WHEN DRAWING WATER FROM HYDRANT AND WHEN INPUT IS

DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PUMP, FOR USE BY THE DELIVERIES, PAY
CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUMENTS THAT MEASURES
OVERPRESSURE AND UNDERPRESSURE
5- FOAM AGENT USE
Foam can be delivered with all "WATER USE" operations described in chapter 3 by replacing
the 6 N.P. nozzles with foam nozzles and apply appropriate foam adapter 34 page 46 to fog-
gun 8 page 44.
To delivery foam it is sufficient to operate as follows:
Prepare working for fire-fighting service as indicated in chapter 2 page 52 or 4 page 54.
Keep delivery valves opened as to avoid that the foam agent penetrates into water tank.
• Remove cap 29 page 45 and apply connecting pipe with foam agent barrel and open valve
27 page 45;
• Open valve 26 page 45;
• In case of water suction from vehicle tank or low pressure sources we advise to open when
pump is under pressure so as not to compromise the foam agent suction;
• Operate control 25 page 45: the max. or min. opening of this valve determines the
percentage of the foam agent sucked;
AFTER USE, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE EXECUTE THE INSTALLATION FLUSHING.
54
November ’10
6- FOAM INSTALLATION FLUSHING
After foam use, it is advisable to operate pump with clean water and draw water
simultaneously from premixer (foam agent suction inlet from barrel 29 page 45) instead of
foam agent to eliminate all traces of foam agent from pump and premixer.
Continue water delivery until water comes out from delivery outlets without any traces of foam.
WARNING!
IN CASE THE EXCEPTIONAL USE DIRTY WATER (MUDDY, BRINY,..),

AFTER USE IMMEDIATELY AND CAREFULLY WASHING THE
INSTALLATION AND PUMP USE CLEAN WATER!
WARNING!
IF WASHING OPERATION IS NOT RESPECTED, THE EQUIPMENT

TECHNICAL GUARANTEE IS NOT VALID!
8- AFTER USE
After using the fire-fighting equipment provide for the following:
• Fill the water tank;

• Discharge the water from the pump and deliveries;
• Check the level of the oil in the over gear pump and top it up if necessary;

1- INTRODUCTION
The specific type of use for which it is designed and the methods to be employed in using the
fire fighting equipment require that the operator be authorised, appropriately instructed and
familiar with the contents of this manual.
As has been repeated in other chapters, the specific use of the equipment, called upon to
operate under conditions that always involve an emergency and a situation of disadvantage,
makes it necessary to be able to use all the equipment provided promptly and rapidly.
This means that the operators assigned to its use have to be adequately trained and instructed
as regards the potential "residual risks" to which they may be exposed, not so much from
components or equipment or its specific operation, but from conditions deriving from their own
behaviour and depending solely on the manner of in which they operate.
This means that the user can be exposed to "residual risks", that is to those hazards that
cannot be totally eliminated from the point of view of design and technology with adequate
protection.
Possible "residual risks" deriving from the use of the fire fighting equipment may be
represented by the following operating conditions:
• climbing on and off the roof of the vehicle;
• performing operations on the roof of the vehicle;
• access to loaded materials (if any);
• closing compartment shutters;
• using pressure hoses;
2- CLIMBING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE ROOF
The fire fighting equipment includes a retractable rear ladder.

All ladders, in conformity with the safety regulations in effect, have the rungs covered with non-
slip material.
The user, before climbing on or off the roof should make sure that the ladder is in the working
position (lowered).
The user should climb on and off the roof holding the side rails on the ladder or the rungs with
both hands, taking care to stay in line with the ladder.
HOLD BOTH SIDE RAILS WHEN CLIMBING THE LADDER
CAUTION! DANGER OF FALLING!
3- OPERATIONS PERFORMED FROM THE VEHICLE ROOF
In view of the specific use of the fire fighting equipment, considering the conditions of extreme
urgency in which the operator has to work and the importance of not creating any impediment
to his freedom of action and movement, there are on the roof a lateral side and rear handrail.
BEFORE WORKING ON THE ROOF THE OPERATOR MUST BE TRAINED

AND INSTRUCTED SO AS TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE NECESSARY
CAUTION AND AVOID SITUATIONS THAT COULD BE HAZARDOUS.
CAUTION! DANGER OF FALLING!
59
November ’10
When working on the roof, the user should make use of the ladder guides and pipe guides to
unload and load back to their place the ladders and suction pipes supplied, if installed on the
roof of the vehicle.
BEFORE CLIMBING ON OFF THE ROOF THE OPERATOR MUST MAKE

SURE THAT THE LOADING MATERIALS STOWED ON THE ROOF OF THE
VEHICLE (LADDER, SUCTION PIPES, ETC.) DO NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE
EDGE OF THE ROOF AND ARE SECURELY FASTENED.
The operator assigned to perform maintenance should use the same care, also when
inspecting the extinguishing liquid tank through the manhole located on the roof of the vehicle.
4- ACCESS TO MATERIAL LOADS
The fire fighting equipment includes loading materials; in this case it is important for the user to
make sure these materials are all put back in their proper place after use and securely held in
place by their fastenings (belts, hooks, etc..), to prevent their coming loose and falling out of
the compartment, breaking down the gate while the vehicle is moving.
5- CLOSURE OF COMPARTMENT SHUTTERS
The loading compartments are closed by shutters, and when these are opened this is
signalled by a yellow indicator light in the cab: “COMPARTMENT OPEN”.
After use, the user should make sure that the shutters are effectively closed and locked (the
indicator in the cab is off), so as to ensure that improperly stowed material will not fall off the
vehicle and injure any person or animals or damage anything.
THE USER MUST SURE THAT THE SHUTTERS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED
AND LOCKED.
WHEN CLOSING THE SHUTTERS MAKE SURE NO OTHER WORKER HAS

SHUTTER.

DANGER OF SHEARING!
6- USE OF PRESSURE HOSES
The fire fighting equipment is provided whit delivery outlets connected to pressure hoses with
spray nozzles.
The user should maintain a firm and safe position before starting to use the extinguishers so
as to prevent possible swaying or falling when opening the jet.
The operator controlling the pump should also adjust it appropriately, using the manual
accelerator, so as to avoid abrupt pressure changes that could be hazardous for the operator
in charge of using the extinguishing hoses.
WHEN SPRAYING EXTINGUISHING LIQUID THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE

VERY CAREFUL WHERE HE AIMS THE JET.

November ’10
5- INSPECTIONS
5.1- BEFORE USE
Before starting the pump check the

following:
• Pump over gear full of oil;

• Greasers 2 full of grease;
• Priming pump tank full of water;
To fill the over gear, remove filling cap 1

and pour the oil, FUCHS CLP 68, through
the hole to the maximum level shown on
the maximum and minimum level gauge.
Replace the cap.
To fill greasers 2, use a manual pump

operated grease gun and fill with grease
suitable for bushes in contact with water.
To fill the priming pump tank with water

remove the filling cap on top and fill with
fresh, clean water until it overflows from
the pipe on the side. (In the winter, it is
advisable to use a mixture consisting of
one part glycerine to four parts water).
5.2- DURING USE
If the vacuometer indicates a high depression with respect to the suction geometrical
height and the distribution is therefore reduced, it means the filter is clogged by grass,
rags, etc. The pump should be stopped and the filter removed and clean, then replace it in
the water and prime it again. If there are bursts of water from the nozzles and wide
pressure swings are shown on the pressure gauge and vacuometer, it means there is air
in the pump due to an imperfect seal or loosening of one of the couplings of the suction
pipes. In case of prolonged use, the organs of the pump should be kept well lubricated
using the greasers 2, so every now and then they should be greased as described above.
IN CASE PUMP USE, WHIT STATIONARY VEHICLE, FOR UPPER 60 MIN

CONTINUOUSLY, CHANGE OIL IN THE DRIVE LINE (GERABOX AND
OVER GEAR) EVERY 100 HOURS!
IF IT SHOULD BE NECESSARY TO STOP THE WATER SERVICE

TEMPORARILY, CLOSE THE DISTRIBUTION VALVES AND REDUCE
ENGINE RPM GRADUALLY TO THE MINIMUM TO PREVENT THE
WATER IN THE PUMP FROM OVERHEATING.
64
November ’10
5.3- AFTER USE
If the pump has been used to pump sandy

or dirty water, sea or brackish water it is
essential to:
• Run it for several minutes with clean,

fresh water pumping it from the tank or
from a pipeline under pressure after
removing the blind caps and opening the
valves on the distribution outlets.
• Empty the centrifugal pump using the

drain valve 3. After use with foam it is
advisable to run the pump with clean
water pumping it simultaneously from the
pre-blender in place of the foaming agent
to eliminate all traces of foaming agent
from the pump and pre-blender, until
water comes out of the distribution
outlets without any trace of foam.
• Empty the small tank on the priming

pump, discharging the water from the
lower tap and fill it up again as described
above.
6- MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
THE PUMP AND PIPELINES CAN FREEZE!
In the winter, if the pump is not used for long periods or is exposed to temperatures near 0°C,
remember to empty the pump through the drain valve 3, and to drain all the water carefully out
of the pipeline and hoses, then close all the valves and remove the blind caps.
In case of leakage of water from the pump, tighten the stuffing box 4 as needed.
A slight water leak (one drop every 10 sec.) with the pump under pressure, can be considered
normal. If necessary, supply with graphite paste.
65
November ’10
6.1- WEEKLY (or more often)
• Check the oil level in the pump over gear

through its gauge. If necessary, top it up
as indicated above;
• Check and clear water suction from tank,

from external source filter and clear the
water tank filling by pump filter;
6.2- MONTHLY
• Lubricate the universal joints, the slides

on the transmission shafts and the
intermediate transmission supports using
their needle greasers. Use grease with a
lithium soap base, consistency
N.L.G.I.N.2.;
• Lubricate also all the mobile parts

(hinges, pins, hose-reel) that may need
lubrication, using the needle greasers
provided, if any;
• Check the tightness of the bolts on the

transmission line;
6.3- EVERY YEAR
