Bench Testing, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting

 Identify three primary steps in bench testing a helitorch.  Identify six considerations in maintaining helitorch and mixing systems.  Given a typical problem encountered during helitorch operations; troubleshoot potential solutions.

Helitorch Bench Testing Prior to helitorch operations, a bench test will be conducted.

 Helitorch should be empty.  40-B:C fire extinguisher available.  Ensure switches are off and propane bottle is installed.  Connect 24 volt power source to helitorch with the 9 pin adapter.

 With the pump switch off, turn on the igniter switch, check for spark and if applicable, propane ignition.  With the ignition switch off, turn on the pump switch, check pump to ensure it is moving gel and/or air.  Do not run pump dry for more than a few seconds.  Ensure polarity is correct.  Turn switches off and unhook power source.  Remove 9 pin adapter.  Check suspension cables, wire ties, bolts, nuts, connectors, and drum tie down straps for tightness and serviceability.

 Disassemble torch tip and clean.  Check electrical cable.  Service & repair dry break coupler.  Check motor brushes periodically (Simplex).  Keep components clean & free of moisture.  Reference helitorch inspection checklist (IAIG APP B).  Flush system with diesel or Jet A for storage.  Do not store helitorch with gel remaining in plumbing.  Remove propane bottle and install empty cylinder.  Store in a sheltered, clean, dry area.  Apply service tag after maintenance performed with name, date and any needed repairs.

Simplex batch mixerFireCon batch mixer

 Batch mixers that meet MC306 or DOT 406 design specs must comply with DOT regulations.  Annual visual inspection by DOT certified inspector.  Hydrostatic pressure test every 5 years by a DOT certified inspector.  Maintain trailer brakes, wheel bearings, electrical system, engine oil, air filter, spark arrestor, and general integrity of the unit.

 Keep 2” male plugs in place when not in use.  Store hoses out of sunlight.  Use fuel stabilizer in gasoline tanks of pump when stored for more than 2 weeks.  Where 2” dry break attaches to tank, coat with gasoline pipe dope.

 Before storing, wash inside of tank and hoses with clean diesel.  Leave 3-5 gallons of diesel in tank to keep parts lubricated while storing.  Disarm emergency release controls on DOT 406 or 306 tanks before storing or transporting.  Turn off all valves prior to mobilization or storing the batch mixer.

Mix Transfer Maintenance  Store hoses out of sunlight.  Keep 2” male plugs in place when not using.  Use fuel stabilizer in gasoline tanks of transfer pump when stored for more than 2 weeks.  Where sight glasses, 2” camlock, dry break parts attach to barrel/ drum coat threads with gasoline type pipe dope.  Before storing flush barrel/drums with clean diesel or clean barrel by removing drum lid and wiping barrel clean.  Leave a small amount of clean diesel in hoses and barrels before storing.

Drum Maintenace  Keep drum purged of gelled fuel.  Paint as needed to prevent rust.  Store in clean, dry environment.  Keep dry break valve clean of dirt & debris.  Keep Clay & Bailey, site glasses and cam-locks free of gel residue.

If gel makes contact with venting marble un-equalized pressure may occur, causing the motor to drag and pop circuit breaker of helicopter.

2” female cam-lock with Clay & Bailey inserted for more clearance

 Store hoses in dry location away from sunlight.  Keep 2” cam-lock on hose while being stored.  Perform continuity test.  Replace brittle/cracked hoses.  Clean all vapor recovery hoses of any gel residue.

 Keep all gelling agents in a cool non-freezable dry storage area.  Ensure MSDS requirements are met.

 Problem:  circuit breakers on helicopter stay tripped open  Solution may include the following:  Check polarity of plug between helicopter and torch  Check for electrical shorts in wiring  Check motor for short  Check Clay & Bailey

Before testing helitorch with the helicopter, disconnect pear-link from the aircraft cargo hook. Failure to follow this procedure can result in damage to the helicopter wiring if polarity is incorrect.

 Problem:  No spark from igniter  Solution may include the following:  Check igniter switch  Check electrical connection from helicopter  Check vibrator (Simplex & Spec 2000)  Check coil & coil wiring (Simplex & Spec 2000)  Check wire connection on igniter rod (Spec 2000)

 Problem:  Propane does not light  (Simplex, Isoliar, and Barrel torches)  Solution may include the following:  Check propane quantity and pressure gauge  Check that solenoid valve is opening  Check for plugged propane torch orifice  Replace propane bottle  Ensure propane torch tip slit is in line with the ignition rod

 Problem:  No gel being pumped  Solution may be one of the following:  Check pump switch  Make sure valves are open  Check pump for obstructions  Check hose for obstructions  Check thickness of gelCheck motor and drive belt (Simplex).  Pump pulley turning in correct direction (Simplex).  Helicopter or 9 pin plug on the helitorch is wired backwards, polarity is wrong (Check the helitorch first).

 Identify three primary steps in bench testing a helitorch.  Identify six considerations in maintaining helitorch and mixing systems.  Given a typical problem encountered during helitorch operations, troubleshoot potential solutions.
