Definitions Absolute pressure - The sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure. Approved Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Authority having jurisdiction - Refers to the organization, office or individual responsible for approving equipment, an installation or a procedure. Compound gauge - A gauge reading pressure from zero to maximum in pounds per square inch (psi) and vacuum from 0 to 30 inches of mercury (Hg).
P.T.O. PUMP OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS PUMPING FROM HYDRANT 1. Position chassis near hydrant and set parking brake. Place truck transmission in neutral. CAUTION: Make sure that truck transmission shift quadrant lock is used. Place wheel chocks in front and behind tires. 2. Attach one end of the suction hose to the hydrant and the other end to the pump suction connection. Be sure the inlet strainer is installed and all drain valves are closed. 3. Open hydrant valve slowly to avoid rush of water. 4.
7. Set relief valve operating pressure per the specific instructions supplied elsewhere in this manual. PUMPING FROM DRAFT 1. Position chassis as close to the water source as possible and set parking brake. Place truck transmission in neutral. CAUTION: Make sure that truck transmission shift quadrant lock is used. Place wheel chocks in front and behind tires. The pump will exceed the rated capacity on a ten foot vertical lift, however, as the lift increases, performance and capacity will decrease. 2.
WARNING BUTTERFLY STYLE SUCTION VALVES NOTICE: The PSD pump incorporates a butterfly style valve in the suction side of the pump, or pumps utilizing large diameter delivery hose, REQUIRE the use of a suction side relief valve of sufficient size and MUST be set at 150 PSI MAXIMUM. Do not hydrostatic pressure test the butterfly valve above 150 PSI and make sure that it is in the open position. Most brands of butterfly valves REQUIRE modification for use.
Many Centrifugal Pump Troubles are Due to Air Leaks Procedure to follow to detect possible air leaks: A. Start engine with pump disengaged and with pump drained. B. Tightly close pump drain valve as well as booster tank suction and discharge valves (if connected to a booster tank). Tighten caps on suction and discharge openings. Then pull out primer handle. C. Observe hand on vacuum gauge until it reaches a stationary position; this should be 20 inches or over. D.
Trouble Shooting Guide Pump Fails to Prime or Loses Prime 1. Restriction at the Suction Strainer a. Remove all leaves, dirt and other foreign material from the strainer. b. Use extra caution when drafting from shallow water sources with mud, sand or gravel bottom. c. Keep the strainer off bottom by placing it inside a barrel with the top cut down, or use a similar method. 2. Suction Lift too High a.
Engine RPM Higher than Necessary for Desired Volume in Pressure 1. Restriction in Suction Hose Strainer or Impeller Vanes. a. Inspect strainer to clear away all debris. b. Pressure backwash will usually clear impeller vane when pump is topped. c. Check condition of the suction hose. On an old, or defective hose, the liner may be pulled loose when pumping, thus reducing the inside diameter of the hose itself. 2. Undersize Suction Hose. a.
HALE PRODUCTS, INC. RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE 1. Lubrication. The PSD pump utilizes oil-bath type lubrication of all gears and bearings in the pump transmission. Oil level in the transmission should be maintained even with the oil level plug, which is located near the input shaft on the front side of the gear case. It is recommended that the oil be changed every three months and after any prolonged period of pumping. Check oil level at regular intervals.
d) Pull a prime until the compound gauge reaches about 20 inches of vacuum. e) Watch gauge - if vacuum drops more than one inch in 10 minutes, an air leak is present. All air leaks must be corrected before the pump may be considered fully serviceable. Ball Bearings Ball bearings are the most common anti-friction bearings used today and offer a major contribution to the life of a fire pump, during major maintenance you will have an occasion to remove or replace ball bearings.
Hale Products Inc. Impeller Maintenance Recommended Clearances This table lists recommended clearances for I.R.P.S. fire pumps (750 gpm to 1500 gpm). Be sure to check your impeller for damage before proceeding to undersize wear rings. When turning impellers to fit undersize rings, caution must be exercised that the seal ring surface runs true with the bore within .002.

One Last Word The PSD pump is an extremely rugged, dependable and versatile unit. Its transmission housing, gears, shafts, bearings, pump casings, and impeller are made of only the finest materials. Years of engineering experience in hydraulic design and pump manufacturing stand behind beach unit and are in fact, the very reasons for its efficiency as a hydraulic machine. Careful individual attention is given to each component as it is machined to exact tolerances.
