The engine shall be water cooled, with a 12-volt electric start. <br /> <br />The engine shall be connected to the battery of the chassis cab and shall be connected <br />to the fuel tank of the chassis cab with a low-pressure 12VDC fuel pump. <br /> <br />Pump Controls <br />A control panel shall be supplied and installed on the pump. A control panel shall be <br />supplied and installed on the pump located at the rear of the skid unit. The control panel <br />shall be manufactured from aluminum and completely covered with a black plastic plate. <br />The Control Panel shall consist of a unkeyed start switch, 2.5" diameter pump discharge <br />and pump intake liquid filled pressure gauges, primer control, throttle lever and illumination <br />for controls with the installation of one tube light. All pump controls and gauges shall be <br />properly marked with white letters engrave in the black plastic plate. <br /> <br />Electric Primer <br />A liquid filled electric primer will be installed on the suction side of the pump to facilitate <br />priming in place of the standard exhaust priming system. The electric primer shall be <br />capable of 20' lift. <br /> <br />Plumbing and Valves <br />Intake and discharge piping shall not interfere with the routine maintenance of the pump, <br />engine, or auxiliary systems and shall not unduly restrict the servicing of these <br />components. <br /> <br />Steel Suction Piping - 2-1/2" - One (1) Fire Type Swing-Out Valve <br />All piping on the suction side shall be made of steel (welded joints) painted red. The <br />suction piping, the pump and the discharge shall be tested to 400 PSI. <br /> <br />The suction piping shall consist of a 2-1/2" tank to pump line with a 2-1/2" flexible rubber <br />hump hose to minimize flex and vibration between the pump and the tank. <br /> <br />RIGID PIPING SHALL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. <br /> <br />Between the tank and the pump there shall be a 2-1/2" fire type swing-out valve. This <br />valve shall remain open to pump from the tank. <br /> <br />186
