PUMP OPERATIONS Sample Clauses
PUMP OPERATIONS. 1. A Certified Performance Test shall be performed on each pump at the factory before delivery to the site.
2. Provide the services of manufacturer's representative to check the pump station installation, supervise initial start up, and instruct the Town's personnel in proper operation and maintenance of the pumps and appurtenances. A minimum of two separate trips to the site will be required, each consisting of a minimum of one 8 hour working day. Regardless of the time spent at the site, services will not be considered complete until the pump station operates as intended for a minimum of one (1) week of operation.
3. Operate pump station under actual field service to demonstrate that all equipment performs to the specified criteria, flow capacity and head conditions. During the field test, make adjustments as necessary for proper operation. Adjust impeller size as necessary to meet field conditions.
4. Manufacturer's recommended start up tests shall be performed according to the installation schedule. Start up tests shall include the following as a minimum:
a. Data for each pump under operating conditions:
1) Amperage reading.
2) Pressure head reading.
PUMP OPERATIONS. Connects or hooks up apparatus to fire hydrant and operates pumps to supply water in appropriate pressure and volume- using hydrant wrenches, couplings, hoses, spanner wrenches, and other tools. Engages pumps. Fills hose with water by hydrant pressure. Connects and lays feeder line to supply water to fire. Pumps sprinkler system and wet or dry standpipe systems. Connects suction hose between hydrant and engine. Monitors control panel (e.g., water temperature, oil pressure gauge, fuel gauge, hydrant pressure). Pumps pre-connect hose-line. Pumps master stream (e.g., aerial ladders). Hooks up to ladder pipe to supply water during aerial ladder operations. Notifies officer of any problems, which occur while pumping. Adjusts water pressure (by rule-of-thumb, according to pressure chart, and/or Rules and Regulations) in response to calls for more or less pressure. Pumps specialty nozzles (e.g., drive-in, cellar distributor). Implements cold weather procedures (e.g., tank circulation) when necessary. Maintains pressure by adjusting pressure relief valve or automatic pressure governor. Transfers from pressure stage to volume stage. Pumps booster lines. Opens and flushes hydrant to ensure it is functional. Shuts down pump when ordered to by officer. Checks hydrant for proper drainage.
