the 2" QD coupler end of this pipe to a fire hydrant.
An interface hose will be required to connect from the
pipe's QD coupler to the fire hydrant.
3. Water Tank Cap — Remove this cap (12-inch diameter
fill port) to fill water tank if using a fire hydrant type
method.

tires. Replace with only recommended type tires. Never
tow water trailer with bad or worn tires.
6. 1.5" Cam and groove male QD port — This port can
be used as either a suction or discharge port depending
on the placement of the manifold control handle.
7. manifold Control Handle — 3-position handle.
Allows 3 diffrent modes of operation, off, discharge
or suction.
8. garden Hose Drain valve — When draining of the
water tank is required open this valve to drain water.
9. 2.0" Cam and groove male QD port — This port
(right-side) can be used as either a suction or discharge
port depending on the placement of the manifold
control handle.
10. garden Hose valve — When other options of filling
of the water tank are unavailable, a garden hose can
be connected to this valve to fill the water tank. It is
recommended that a rigid walled garden hose or
suction type garden hose be used for this purpose.
In addition this valve can be used as a discharge port
depending on the position of the manifold control lever.
See Table 5.
11. Spray Bar Control Handle — 2-position handle, allows
spary bar to be turned either on or off.
12. Drain Plug — Remove this plug to drain water from
the pump.
13. Fill Cap — Prior to operation, the pump casing should
be filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to
the pump. After the initial prime, a sufficient amount of
water will be retained in the casing so that the operator
will not need to re-prime later.
14. Coupler Adapter — Attach either a 2-5/16" ball coupler
or 3-inch pintle eye ring coupler to this adapter.
15. Hydraulic Brake actuator — This actuator (Model
