6. Apply throttle (Figure 3, Item 2) and decrease the choke until it is no longer
needed. The output of the pump is regulated by how much throttle is applied (as
well as the shut-off at the nozzle, and the pump to tank return).
DRAFT PROCEDURES
Drafting From an Auxiliary Water Source
Your QTAC has the ability to draft water from an auxiliary water source. The operator
can either draft in order to fill the tank, or draft straight into the pump and out a discharge
line, bypassing the tank.
Connecting the Draft Hose
Remove the Camlock cap covering the draft hose port. Secure the draft hose Camlock
coupling to the draft hose port. (Figure 2, Item 7)
Drafting to Fill the Water Tank
1. Close the tank to pump valve. (Figure 2, Item 6) Ensure that the pump head is
primed, as described on Page 10.
2. Place the brass foot valve connected to the end of the draft hose into the water
source. For faster priming submerge and fill the draft hose. Make sure not to
place the foot valve in mud or dirt, as it will suck debris into the pump. Always
elevate the valve off the bottom of the water source to reduce the chances of
debris intake.
3. Connect the draft hose to the draft port.
4. Open the 1” Pump to Tank valve. (Figure 2, Item 4)
