Common use of PUMP OPERATIONS Clause in Contracts

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.
