Safe Operating & Usage Guidelines
Safety Notice: Always follow proper engine operation protocols and safety precautions during water handling and transport.
Mounting & Securing: Securely anchor the skid frame onto a flat utility bed or trailer before filling or transport.
Pre-Start Check: Verify engine oil and fuel levels prior to operation. Ensure the suction line is connected securely to the main water tank or clean supply source.
Engine Startup: Open the water line valve, prime the pump if required, set engine controls, and start the engine following standard starting procedures.
Operation: Open the discharge line valve and direct water flow to the target area for high-volume dispersal or tank transfer.
Post-Operation & Storage: Shut off the engine, drain remaining liquid if storing in freezing conditions, and coil delivery hoses neatly over the mounting brackets.
