Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

3000 gallon water truck with 4x2 chassis and 100 HP engine	Lower power and slower refilling but easier to drive in narrow urban streets
Water truck with 2000 litre tank and no spray system	Cheaper to buy but requires multiple trips and manual watering for large areas
Water tanker built on a 6x4 chassis with 160 HP engine	Higher load capacity and better off-road ability but higher fuel cost and less maneuverable in towns

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm left or right hand drive at order stage to match local traffic regulations
Fill the tank only through the manhole or pump inlet to prevent contamination
Ensure the air breather valve is clear during filling to avoid pressure build-up
Prime the pump at no more than 7 metres suction lift and expect full tank in under 15 minutes
Use the front, rear, and side spray systems with proper nozzle alignment for even coverage
Test the water cannon range and adjust the angle before use in high vegetation areas
Drain the tank and flush the pump after use in freezing conditions to prevent damage
