120186 STYLE 3463 FIREFOX™ INSTALLATION, OPERATING and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS With Position Feedback Potentiometer The following is intended to provide the basic instructions for installation, operating and maintenance of the FireFox. TOOLS REQUIRED • Utility knife • Medium flat screwdriver • Medium Phillips screwdriver • Small flat screwdriver • Small Phillips screwdriver 1 / 2 inch hex head wrench • Electrician’s pliers (multipurpose, stripping and crimping) PRODUCT RATINGS Maximum motor current draw: 12 volt versions 14.0 amps each for elevation and rotation motors 3.0 amps for nozzle pattern motor 24 volt versions 7.5 amps each for elevation and rotation motors 1.5 amps for nozzle pattern motor Normal operating current (depending on operating conditions - pressure, flow, etc.): 12 volt versions 3 - 10 amps each for elevation and rotation motors 0.7 amps for nozzle pattern motor 24 volt versions 2 - 5 amps each for elevation and rotation motors 0.4 amps for nozzle pattern motor Minimum Voltage: (Truck engine must be operating for proper voltage requirement.) All 12 volt motors: 11.5 volts while operating All 24 volt motors: 23 volts while operating Mass: 31 lbs. (17.7 kg) Maximum Flow: 500 GPM (1420 lpm) Maximum Pressure: 200 PSI (14 bar) Noise Emission: 91 Db @1m with maximum flow PRODUCT WARNINGS WARNING: The maximum flow of the FireFox is 500 GPM. The center of the waterway outlet is 10.75 inches from the bottom of the inlet. Ensure these values and an appropriate safety factor is used to determine a proper support structure. WARNING: Aim the FireFox in a safe direction before pumping water through it. WARNING: Although the logic box includes a water resistant coating it is important to keep water out of the control and logic boxes. Prolonged exposure to water will cause damage. When the cover of the control or logic box is removed check that the O-Ring under the cover is intact and free of dirt and debris.
