The following procedures are examples of low water pressure evolutions based on the procedures of the Moraga-Orinda Fire District, presented for illustrative purposes.

A practical sequence of events for quick dumping is described below:

1. Carefully back the tender engine to the tank, centering the dump valve over the tank opening.

   (If the tank is near empty and the opening oval shaped, the dump valve should be aligned with the tank's longitudinal axis.)

2. Position the apparatus so that the dump valve just comes to the edge of the opening's float ring.

3. Open the dump valve and observe that the discharge is entering the tank.

4. Engage the pump, open the Jet Dump valve and run the discharge pressure to 100 p.s.i., observing that the discharge is not overshooting the tank opening.

5. Idle the pump when the tank nears empty to avoid taking up air.

   Key Point:

   Don't direct dump while the Floto-Pump is in the tank. The pump must be removed first!
