Water tanker with foam additive system	Cheaper per litre but lacks dry powder capability and dedicated pressurization system

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm the chassis drive configuration and hand of drive against local registration rules before order
Fill water and foam only through the manhole or pump inlet and keep the air breather valve clear
Prime the pump at no more than 7 metres suction lift and expect draft within 50 seconds
Engage the sandwich PTO before moving if pump and roll operation is required
Drain the tank and pump after use in freezing conditions to prevent damage
Free operator training is available at the factory before shipment
