Maintenance Procedures
Maintenance procedures may be done by fire brigade personnel
familiar with the vehicle and pump system.
These activities must be performed after each operation to ensure
optimal reliability of the vehicle.
- Refill the fuel tank and tanks of fire fighting agents.
- If the compartments and driver´s cabin require cleaning, do not
use a high pressure hose or running water. Loose dirt should be
removed with a vacuum cleaner, after that, use moist cloths.
- Use moist towels to clean the control panel. Excess water can
damage electric components. Do not use solvents.
Maintenance Procedures - Washing the vehicle
Wash the vehicle frequently with cold or lukewarm, but never hot,
water. Do not use household soap or detergent. The use of a
reliable car shampoo will assist in dissolving traffic film.
When a hose is used, the water should not be turned onto the body
at full pressure, as this tends to drive the grit and dirt into the
paintwork. If the high-pressure fog gun is used for washing the
vehicle, it must be operated with no greater than 6 bar of pressure
with “Water Fog Spray” and never at “Water Straight Stream”.
High pressure cleaning equipment must not be used; the danger of
damage to the paintwork is enormous.
After the surplus of dirt has been washed off, clean the body with
a sponge and plenty of water. At the same time it is advisable to
wash the windshield wiper blades by using clean water. Incorpo-
rate the wheelhouses into the washing procedure. Pay attention to
open drainage holes. Rinse off with cold water, then rub down with
a clean chamois leather.
ATTENTION !
Should the vehicle become contami-
nated by dry chemical powder, it is
imperative to remove the powder with
compressed air. Do not clean the pow-
der with water. Washing with water
can accelerate the corrosion process of
the vehicle.
Dry chemical powder in combination
with moisture is a strong oxidant, espe-
cially on galvanized, bare aluminium
and bronze surfaces.
