5. INSTALLATION
This section provides basic information for the installation of Hale booster pumps. Installation per-
sonnel should be qualified in pump and plumbing installation and vehicle manufacture.
5.1. Warnings And Cautions
Before attempting to install the pump, read all of the following safety precautions and follow them
carefully.
THE PUMP SHIFT CONTROL AND PUMP SHIFT INDICATOR SYSTEM ON THE APPARATUS
MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND
REGULATIONS SUCH AS NFPA.
BEFORE LAY OUT AND INSTALLATION OF THE DRIVELINE, CONSULT APPARATUS AND/OR
DRIVELINE COMPONENT MANUFACTURER FOR GUIDANCE AND REFER TO HALE SB90
FOR ALIGNMENT OF DRIVESHAFT AND PUMP DRIVE.
HALE PUMPS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. FILL GEARBOX WITH FLUID LISTED IN TABLE 5
BEFORE OPERATION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY FILL GEARBOX WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE
AND VOID WARRANTY.
5.2. Risk Assessment
When EN 1028 applies, the pump installer shall develop and deliver a method statement and risk
assessment of operations when installing a Hale booster pump on firefighting apparatus.
5.3. Special Tools
Observe all torque requirements and see FSG–MNL–00184, Technical Manual For Hale Single Stage
Booster Pumps for additional information. When conducting testing/verifications for installation pur-
poses, bearings temperatures can be checked using an infrared thermometer.
5.4. Mounting A Hale Booster Pump
A PRESSURE HAZARD MAY EXIST EVEN WHEN THE PUMP IS NOT RUNNING. PRIOR TO
REMOVING HOSES, OR CAPS FROM PUMP CONNECTIONS, RELIEVE PRESSURE BY OPEN-
ING DRAINS. BLEEDER VALVES SHOULD ALSO BE USED WHEN CONNECTING TO AN IN-
TAKE FROM PRESSURIZED SOURCE.
ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, AND CHOCK THE WHEELS BE-
FORE GOING UNDER THE TRUCK FOR ANY REASON.
OPEN AT LEAST ONE DISCHARGE VALVE SLIGHTLY TO PREVENT THE PUMP FROM OVER-
HEATING. IF THE PUMP RUNS COMPLETELY CLOSED, IT MAY HEAT THE WATER ENOUGH
TO SCALD A PERSON.
