FOAM PUMP MOUNTING
Position the foam pump and motor
assembly in the desired location on the
apparatus. When installing the foam pump
and motor assembly, the assembly should
be kept in a horizontal position with the
base plate on the bottom (see figure 2-2).
Although the system is sealed and designed
to be resistant to the harsh environment of
fire fighting apparatus, a compartment with
easy operator access is the recommended
installation location.
The base plate of the foam pump and
motor assembly must be anchored to a
surface or structure that is rigid and of
adequate strength to withstand the
vibration and stresses of apparatus
operation. Figures 2-3 and 2-4 provide the
mounting envelope dimensions for the Hale
FoamLogix foam pump and motor
assembly.
Position the foam pump so the ON/OFF
switch and bypass valve are easily
accessible. When the Hale FoamLogix
system is ordered without the ADT option, a
separate bypass valve is included that may
be removed from the foam pump and
mounted on a truck panel for easier
access. When the Hale FoamLogix system is
ordered with the ADT option, the operating
knob can be removed from the bypass
valve actuator and an extension rod can
be installed to permit remote operation. In
either instance the foam pump and motor
assembly must be located to permit proper
operation of the bypass valve.
Make sure the foam concentrate hoses can
be properly routed to the inlet and outlet on
the foam pump. Foam concentrate must
gravity feed to the foam pump inlet from
the foam tank(s). The foam pump must be
mounted in an area to avoid excessive
engine exhaust system or accessory heat
buildup.

Figure 2-2. Hale FoamLogix Installation
The base of the foam pump and motor
assembly has predrilled mounting holes.
These holes will accept
5 /
16
inch (8 mm)
diameter bolts and the apparatus mounting
location needs to be drilled accordingly.
The base plate can be used as a template
to mark mounting hole location or a
mounting hole layout drawing is provided
as figure 2-5.
