9 PRIME AND DISCHARGE
While the engine is running, do not touch the

rotating parts of the pulley or belt. This can
cause personal injuries.
If the pump cannot suck water during the operation

of the vacuum pump for 30 seconds, or cannot keep
the water in the water path of the pump during the
water discharge operation, check the following:
･Is the tip of the suction pump hose completely under the water
surface?
･Is air sucked through the joint of the suction hose?
･Is the suction hose damaged?
･Does the vacuum performance of the priming pump reduced
significantly?
･Does the pump case leak vacuum?
･Does a vacuum leak occur when the pump is connected with the
suction hose which the opening side is capped?
Refer to the contents “ 16 TROUBLESHOOTING”.
1. After starting the engine, pull down the priming lever up to

put tension on the “V” belt leading vacuum pump
operation for suction.
2. Check that the pumped water is discharged continuously

from the priming outlet of the vacuum pump.
Be sure the pressure gauge shows positive side.
3. Return the priming lever to the original position.
45
Limit the vacuum pump operating time within 30 seconds. If the

pump cannot suction water within 30 seconds, it may have an
another problem. Refer to the contents “16 TROUBLESHOOTING”
to rectify the problem.
When priming water from a water source that is considerably lower
than the pump, suction may fail to bring water up to pump.
Do not operate the engine more than 2 minutes without pumping
water.
If the elevation of suction hose does not follow a downward slope
from the pump to the water source, an air trap occurs and there
could have insufficient discharge volume. In such case, immediately
re-prime the pump.
When the air pocket stays trapped Inside of suction hose, open the
discharge valve, and operate vacuum pump 3-5 seconds intervals
until there have smooth discharge water stream.
4. Open the discharge valve.

(counter clockwise).
46
Before opening water discharge

port or valve of the pump, be sure to
warn the person holding the nozzle
or the branch pipe to check the
nozzle is opened and ready to
discharge water.
During operation, check the suction and discharge hoses.
They must be free of kinks, pinches, etc., possibly caused from
emergency vehicles rolling over hose.
To avoid the air left in the hose, the pump should be located above
the suction hose. If some air left in the hose, the pump may not be
able to discharge the water by the accumulated air in the hose when
you open the discharge valve. In this case, open the discharge valve
and operate the vacuum pump for 3 to 5 seconds until the water is
continuously discharged.
5. Adjust the water pressure (volume) using the throttle dial.
In the case of using a branch pipe, the person holding the branch
pipe must be notified of changes in water discharge pressure
caused from engine speed changes or discharge valve setting
changes discharged water should not be directed toward people
under any circumstances.
Do not look into the nozzle opening at any time.
Do not put fingers or hands into the discharge nozzle.
47
Performing relayed water supply (When using water from fire hydrant)
1. Determine the pump pressure in consideration of the water discharge pressure

(nozzle pressure), hose pressure loss, and height loss.
Pump pressure = needed pressure + height loss + friction loss
2. Foreign materials such as dirt, gravel, iron rust, etc. may have intruded into a fire
hydrant. Before connecting a hose, open a fire hydrant to discharge water in order
to remove foreign materials.
3. When using water from a fire hydrant, set a mediation metal between the
delivery hose and the suction port.
4. Set the discharge valve handle of the pump to the full open position.
5. Gradually open the fire hydrant on-off valve. However, check the water pressure from
fire hydrant with suction pressure gauge on the pump and adjust the opening of fire
hydrant, if necessary.
If the water pressure from fire hydrant is higher than 6 bar, do

not continue to open the fire hydrant on-off valve.
* If the water pressure from fire hydrant is higher than the
required discharge pressure, it is not necessary to start the
pump.
If the water pressure from fire hydrant has not reached the
required pressure, start the engine.
6. If the water pressure from fire hydrant is insufficient, start the engine and adjust the
pressure to the required level by operating the throttle dial.
Stop increasing discharge pressure if the suction pressure gauge shows 0.1MPa
(15 psi) or below. If it does, stop increasing the pressure and keep the throttle dial as
it is.
7. To end discharge water, turn the throttle dial to the low pressure firstly, then stop the
engine, and close the fire hydrant on-off valve.
48
Be sure not to close the discharge valves of all the pumps and
the nozzle until all the pumps stopped and the fire hydrant
on-off valve is closed.
8. Set the discharge valve to the half-open position, and open all the drain valves to
drain the remaining water as maintenance after operation.

place, if the number of extending hose is less than ten, use
the safety nozzle attached.
Description of relay pumping operation
50
Preparation for operation

Do not close the discharge valve of source pump , relay pumps
and fire nozzle. If the discharge valves or nozzle are(is) closed,
there will be a risk of damage to the pumps and hoses with
excessive pressure or water hammer.
1. Decide how many relay pumps are needed in consideration of distance and height
between the water sauce and the fire ground.
2. Place the pumps according to the decision, and connect the hoses.
3. Make sure that the discharge valves are open, including the fire nozzle.
4. Decide the discharge pressure of each pump in consideration of needed pressure
for next pump (or fire nozzle) and the height loss and friction loss.
Pump pressure = needed pressure + height loss + friction loss
Start the source pump
Once the water supply has started, keep supplying it until

finished. If reduce or stop supplying water, overheat or
cavitation may occur in the relay pumps.
1. Start the source pump according to the content “ 8 ENGINE START”.

2. Start supplying water according to the content “ 9 PRIME AND DISCHARGE”.
51
Start the Relay pump

1. Make sure that the discharge valve is opened and wait for supplied water.
2. Check that the water was supplied from the source pump. At first, the hose swells
due to air pressure. Step on a hose to judge whether the swelling of the hose is
due to water or air.
3. If it becomes clear that water was supplied to the pump, read a pressure gauge.
Start the engine if the pressure is lower than the required pressure. If the pressure is
high enough, no need to start the engine.
4. Adjust the discharge pressure with throttle dial. The suction pressure decreases
with opening up the throttle. Always confirm the pressure with the suction pressure
gauge.
5. If the suction pressure drops below 0.1 MPa (15 psi), order the operator of the
pre-stage pump to increase the water pressure, and adjust the relay pump pressure
by the throttle.
6. If suction pressure rises, adjust the throttle again.
Start the Attack pump

It is the same as the relay pump case.
Finish the relay pumping operations.

1. Do not close the fire nozzle.
