apparatus equipped with a fire pump - answerA. Check to make sure the auxiliary fuel
tank is at least 1/2 full
B. Operates the pump drive control - Correct Answer
C. Ensure that the fire pump and booster lines are full
D. Check the pump gearbox oil level
E. Confirm that the foam tank level is full - Correct Answer
Place the steps for Part II of the pressure control test in the correct order - answer1. Set
the fire pump so that it is discharging at a net pump discharge pressure of 150 psi.
2. Reduce the pumping engine throttle until the net pump discharge pressure drops to
90 psi.
3. Set the pressure control device to maintain the discharge pressure at 90 psi.
4. Close the flowing valves one at a time.
5. The pump discharge pressure should rise no more than 30 psi when all the valves
are closed.
