3. Session 1: Nissan Patrol DX (4x4)

4. Session 1: Description
Two seater with bucket seats and air conditioning
3.0 litre, four cylinder, turbo diesel engine
5 speed manual gearbox
Manual locking free wheeling front wheel hubs
Limited slip differential - rear axle
Water tank capacity 550 litres
GAAM Mk 70 single stage pump driven by a Hatz 1B HP diesel engine.

5. Session 1: Turbo Charger
To prevent potential damage to the turbocharger you should:
allow the engine to idle for a period of three minutes prior to shutting down. This allows the turbo charger to reduce speed and also allows time for the turbine casing to cool down
never rev the engine immediately on start up. Allow a few seconds for oil to reach all parts of the engine & turbine bearings.

6. Session 1: Transmission
5 speed manual transmission
Two speed transfer case – High and Low range 4WD.
Note:
The vehicle must be stationary in order to select low range four wheel drive.

7. Session 1: Free Wheel Hubs
The tanker is fitted with free wheel hubs.
To unlock hub, turn centre control anti- clockwise until stop.
To lock hub, turn centre control clockwise until stop.

8. Session 1: Free Wheel Hubs
Important
Both hubs must be either “locked” or “unlocked”
Hubs must be locked prior to selecting four wheel drive
It is recommended that the hubs are always left engaged as a safety measure.

27. Session 2: Quenchmaster Class A Foam System
The Quenchmaster SP301 around the pump proportioning system:
induces foam concentrate into the suction side of the pump.
is designed to operate between 600 kPa and 1000 kPa.
the metering valve selects the percentage of foam concentrate to be added to the water and the proportioning is between 0.1% and 1%.
Note: Application data for wildfire:
0.1% to 0.3% maximum
Use normal branches to apply
“Wetter is better”.

28. Session 2: Foam Concentrate
Foam concentrate is stored in a 20 litre plastic drum on the nearside rear of the appliance

29. Session 2: Operating the Pump – Electric Start
Start Pump
Slightly turn the throttle dial out (1/2 turn) from the stop position.
Press the Fire Pump Start button
Adjust the throttle dial to obtain the desired pump pressure.

30. Session 2: Operating the Pump – Shutdown
Shutdown Pump

Fully press or turn the throttle dial until the engine stops.

31. Session 2: Operating the Pump – Manual Start
Manually Start Pump
Slightly turn the throttle dial out (1/2 turn) from the stop position.

Adjust the throttle dial to obtain the desired pump pressure.

32. Session 2: Operating the Pump – Fuel
Note - Pump engine fuel
The vehicles ignition (accessories) must be on for the pump engine fuel transfer pump to operate.
If the vehicle’s ignition is off, or the “aux. fuel pump” light illuminates, the pump engine fuel tank is not being fuelled. Therefore, if the pump engine fuel tank is already full, there will only be 1-2hrs of pumping remaining depending on flow rate output.
