34
Q

What is the foam strainer used for?

A

The strainer is used to prevent any debris from entering the foam system and possibly interfering with the internal
foam pump check valves

35
Q

Which connection also functions as the Class A tank fill (when equipped with tank fill option) and as the foam tank
drain.

A

external foam pick-up

The external foam pick-
up also allows continued operation after the on-board foam tank is empty

36
Q

What does the water supply system do?

A

supplies water to the foam injection manifold for foam to be added and distributed to the foam/water discharges

37
Q

What are the manifold drains are used for?

A

to bleed off pressure/water anytime the water pump has been pressurized (after the
water pump is shut off). If a dry water pump condition is desired, leave manifold drains open until the fire scene is
reached.

38
Q

What will the master pump drain?

A

empty both the discharge and inlet manifolds of water when opened. The water pump
drain should be pulled (opened) daily.

39
Q

What does the In-line Water Check Valve do on the H12?

A

prevents foam from entering the water pump and the remainder of the water system. It is installed in the water piping, before the foam injection manifold and the water flowmeter.

40
Q

What does the Water Flowmeter measure in regards to foam?

A

the flow of water supplied to the foam/water discharges before foam is injected. This controls the amount of foam that is injected when the Husky 12 foam system is turned on.

41
Q

What happens if the control head and display are replaced?

A

the system calibration must be checked.

42
Q

Where is The Husky 12 control panel located

A

on the main pump panel and includes six operating buttons. The display is a 4.3 diagonally measured color

43
Q

What happens if the water flow drops below 20 GPM on the H12?

A

the foam system will go into standby until the water flow is increased to 20 GPM or above. At the toggle point, between 19-20 GPM, the system will want to go on and off standby. Maintaining water flow above 20 GPM will prevent this.

44
Q

What are the steps for activating the on board class A foam?

A
  1. Engage water pump transmission.
  2. Recirculate water.
  3. Turn the system ON.
  4. Begin flowing water, foam pump will activate.
  5. Use the ARROW UP / ARROW DOWN buttons to change percentage (if needed).
  6. When beginning the mop up phase, turn the system OFF; use the foam in the hose for mop up.
    NOTE: The only flush needed is to run the hose until it is mostly free of bubbles. The foam pump is
    designed to be flooded with foam.
45
Q

What must happen during the automatic flush?

A

During the automatic flush, water must be flowing through an open foam discharge OR open manifold drain to give the flush solution somewhere to go.

46
Q

An automatic pre-programmed flush of _________will occur when changing from Class A to Class B foam, once the water flowmeter senses water flow

A

10-15 seconds

47
Q

changing foam selections?

A

If you highlight a currently used foam type (Tank 1 Class A to Draft Class A) and press the
ENTER button, you will be transferred back to the HOME screen with that source enabled.
* If you highlight an alternate class of foam (Tank 1 Class A to Draft Class B) and press the
ENTER button, a new screen will be displayed, giving the user a second chance to continue
with the new class of foam or revert back to the previous class of foam being used.
* Whenever there is a foam class change, the system will automatically flush the pump with
water to prevent mixing of foam types in the pump.

48
Q

Typically, no flushing is needed. The Husky 12 foam pump is designed to be flooded with foam unless

A

a different brand of Class A foam was drafted, or Class B foam was drafted, the only system flush that is needed is to turn the system OFF and continue flowing water until the presence of bubbles is
minimal

49
Q

What should be done when beginning mop-up operations at the scene?

A

turn the system OFF and use the foam in the hose for mop-up

50
Q

What about manual flush time is true?

A

The Manual Flush Mode is only for use when additional flush time is desired, such as after
switching between types and / or brands of foam. Flush mode can be enabled without first turning off the system.

You must have the water pump engaged and flowing water for the flush to begin. In the yellow warning bar on the display, a message in red will tell you “water flow is needed”, if you do not have water flow.

51
Q

What is the prime mode used for on the H12?

A

The Prime Mode is used to accelerate the foam pump for a short period of time, such as to purge the air out of the
on-board tank lines after initial filling or to fill the suction hose while drafting

Water must be flowing through an open foam discharge OR open foam pump discharge drain to give
the foam solution somewhere to go.

52
Q

Steps for priming the PUC

A
  1. Open foam pump discharge drain.
  2. Press FOAM PRIME button to activate. Release FOAM PRIME button when foam is discharged out of the foam
    pump discharge drain.
  3. Close the foam pump discharge drain.
  4. Open the manifold drain.
  5. Press FOAM PRIME to activate. Release the FOAM PRIME button when foam is discharged out of the manifold
    drain.
    NOTE: Allow water/foam solution to run out of manifold until it is mostly clear of foam, if unit is not
    immediately going to be used to fight a fire.
  6. Close the manifold drain
53
Q

Why shouldn’t you mix manufacturers’ brands of foam?

A

Mixing of different foam concentrates (either type or manufacturer) may cause deterioration of the
foam concentrate, improper proportioning, and poor performance in a fire situation. Mixing of Class A and Class B foam concentrates may result in a chemical reaction that can create globules, which can clog orifices and cause system failure.

54
Q

What is the recommended way to fill foam during non-fire operations?

A

through the fill dome

Pour the foam concentrate down the center of the round tube when filling the tank. This tube goes into the tank and allows the foam concentrate to enter under the
surface of foam currently in the tank to reduce aeration of the foam per NFPA

55
Q

What needs to be done in the Pick-up Hose Method?

A
  1. Engage water pump to activate hydraulics and recirculate water
56
Q

This mode of operation is the NFPA required manual override. This mode is used to activate the foam pump without
the flowmeter operating

A

Manual Mode (Manual Water Flow)

57
Q

In manual water flow mode, the foam pump will run regardless of water flow. If discharges are closed, these lines may
be charged to over______. At least one discharge or manifold drain must be open before entering this
mode. In this mode, there are no interlocks, controls, or specific steps required. Use additional caution when
operating in the manual mode. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to equipment.

59
Q

If, for any reason, the hydraulic reservoir shutoff valve on the H12 is ever in the closed position, the hydraulic
pump should be ?

A

do so will result in severe damage to the hydraulic pump

60
Q

During cold weather, what must happe to the foam system after testing with water.

A

During cold weather, the foam system must be blown out after testing with water. Water cannot remain
in the foam system after testing. Either fill the foam system with foam concentrate or blow out the foam
system with compressed air using the following procedure. Failure to comply may result in the water
freezing and damaging foam system components

61
Q

What position should the selector valve be in after draining the foam pump after testing?

A

turn the selector valve to the middle position (halfway
between TANK FILL and INJECT)

62
Q

Blowing out foam pump after testing

A

Blowing Out After Testing
a. After blowing out the main water pump, cycle through and operate the flush mode with air.
b. Attach shop air (90 psi or less) directly to the inlet. Run the foam pump through a couple of cycles to get the
water out.

Q

What does the autostart on the H12 do?

A

the auto start option will automatically turn the foam system on the first time the water pump is engaged.

65
Q

What is imperative when changing the types of foam in the tank?

A

If changing the types of foam in the tank, It is imperative to thoroughly flush out and dry
the entire system

66
Q

What is the default percentage for foam on the H12?

A

The default percentage is set at the factory to automatically run at 0.5% for Class A foam and
3.0% for Class B foam

67
Q

What should be done before calibrating the flowmeter?

A

Before calibrating, verify the water flow using a pivot tube. If the flow is correct at various flow rates, based on the pitot tube results, no calibration is needed

68
