Brief Introduction for Mercedes Benz 4158 Arocs fire engine:

Mercedes Benz Arocs 4158 heavy duty fire truck, truck equipped with American HALE CB10/110-Qtwo fire pump and AKRON PSKD10/80B-5177 fire monitor, reliable quality and very convenient for daily use. Mainly used for firefighting project in any areas of need. And below detailed description of the pump and monitor system:

The fire truck is refitted based on the Germany MERCEDES BENZ 8x4 LHD chassis. MERCEDES BENZ Firefighting Truck makes use of the sandwich power take off (PTO) to get power from the engine, and then transfer the power to the HALE CB10/110-Qtwo Fire Pump via drive axle so to rotate the rear-installed fire pump. The pump start working: Optional one, transfer water inside of the tank to AKRON PSKD10/80WB fire monitor, and jetting out for firefighting process; Optional two, suction water through pool, river, fire hydrant etc. and jetting out through fire monitor. The refit part includes tanker system, actuator device, operation system and firefighting equipment.
Tanker: Stainless steel material water tanker, standard steel pipelines for firefighting process.
Actuator device: includes sandwich power take off, drive line, etc., which can pass the power from the chassis to the fire pump.
Operation system: the Electric control system located at rear of pump house, which can view pump vacuum rate, water tanker and foam tanker level, light system, etc. this helps come to all special functions’ convert.
Firefighting equipment: whole standard firefighting equipment.

American import HALE CB10/110 operation instruction of Priming Water:
If using water from tank, we can push the butterfly valve toward to the fire pump shaft direction in order to pull the pin out from pin-hole. Then pull the handle to horizontal position and open the butterfly valve, after that, water will be flowing into the pump.
If using water from hydrant, we can connect the suction pipe to the hydrant, and then the water will be flowing into the pump from the hydrant
If using water from pond, we need to use a piston primer pump for priming water. In this situation, firstly we can put the suction pipe into the pond; secondly start the low pressure fire pump; thirdly turn the pump rotational speed to 2500r/min in a short time; fourthly pull the control handle down and the piston primer pump begin to work. The water priming will be finished in 35 seconds, then the fire pump begin to work and the piston primer pump stop working automatically, after that ,we can push the control handle up to normal position, if the water priming are not finished in 60 seconds, please check whether there is air leakage in the system.

Attentions on using Benz Arocs 8x4 tanker fire trucks:

Mercedes Benz AROCS 8x4 model tanker fire truck is widely used all over the world for its higher power and reliable quality. And to guarantee good service, please pay more attention on the usage.

1. Make sure the clutch is detached completely and the engine speed is low when the PTO is approaching or departing.
2. Fire pump running without water for more than 3 minutes or at a high speed are not allowed.
3. When the system is running, before all the water outlet valves have been closed, it must reduce the pump speed. Fire pump running in over rated pressure for a long time is not allowed.
4.  After water priming finished, reset the priming handle.
5. After PTO working over 10 minutes in hot weather, it must turn on the water cooling stopcock, otherwise it may cause problems, the water must be drain out when the work is over.
6. If using seawater, sewage, corrosive liquid or foam, please run the fire pump with clear water to clean the fire pump .If using in cold weather, make the piston pump run for a while to drain out the remaining water to prevent it from freezing.
7. It is equipped with a breather valve on the top of foam tank. When using foam to extinguish fire, the foam liquid level will decline, the breather can suck air to make sure the ratio of water and foam are not change.

Also it is necessary to do daily check for the Mercedes Benz 8x4 heavy duty fire pumpers:

1. About chassis part, please refer to “Chassis Instruction”.
2. Check daily whether the sound and lubricate of the fire pump, PTO, priming pump, transmission shaft is normal or not.
3. Check daily whether the air tightness of joints is normal or not.
4. Check daily whether the oil of PTO, reciprocating primer pump and gear case are degenerative or missing, whether every part has a leakage.
5. Check daily whether the cooling pipe of pump rack case is blocked ,whether the water level of priming water box are normal, whether there is a leakage.
6. Check daily whether the monitor turning is flexible, whether lubrication is degenerative, missing or leakage.
7. Check and tidy up all kinds of equipment and accessories and keep them clean, dry and in good condition.
