INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Ensure that trailers are visually inspected every month. Just like any equipment, a well-maintained trailer will perform better and last longer than a neglected one. Routine monthly visual and operational maintenance is recommended.
The maintenance department must carry out routine jobs like lubricating moving parts and checking tyre pressure. Cleaning of trailers need to be carried out every month or as required to ensure smooth operation. The unit must be operated at least once in six months or as per local authority having jurisdiction.
CAUTION
1. Never start water flow unless the four drop legs are lowered and having full ground support and locked. Apply hand break.
2. Water flow must be started gradually and similarly just be lowered gradually.
3. The trailer is to be used inside industrial premises. HD Fire does not provide any vehicle/trailer road transport approval, certification, or registration,if applicable then owner/ buyer is responsible to obtain the same from local authority having jurisdiction.
NOTE ON FOAM CONCENTRATE:
When using AFFF or AR-AFFF type foam concentrate in the storage tank, it is recommended by HD Fire that a thin layer (approximately 1/4 inch) of a quality mineral oil be placed on the surface of the foam concentrate after filling the tank with the correct quantity. This alleviates the problem associated with evaporation of the foam concentrate.
The foam concentrate should be inspected periodically following any of these standards: NFPA 11, EN 13565-2, or any other relevant standards or as per authority having jurisdiction. For tanks containing mineral oil, special tools should be used during annual sampling exercise to make sure no oil is taken with the foam. Consult foam concentrate manufacturer
