Pierce Enforcer In-Service 2021 Part_3
TRANSCRIPT
Get your exercise all way. If you're fats, if you call that exercise, Pete, oh, that's fine. Can you call that exercise switch up and make sure nothing's loosen all? It ain't going nowhere. Just
it's a little loose.
Um, you're supposed to help assist. Lift it. That's the only way we know how to do it. There you go. I'm gonna show you right here. See this? It's same as the other day. Yeah. On the other one. Every time comes down, you're going to have to push this. I don't know what the other side looks like. It's the same, same, same on the battery.
Yeah. So,
all right. Before we go to the other side, while on this side couple, one thing I forgot. I usually have a slide and uh, I forgot to put it in there. The tack four independent front suspension right here on both sides. Top and bottom is a ball joint. That ball joint is put together, lubricated and sealed with these rubber boots.
As long as those rubber boots are intact, it holds a. But if you get a cracker tear and the rubber boot and it loses the lubrication, it's going to become metal to metal. So if you look at the rubber boots and they're all oily or greasy, they need to be looked at cuz they're leaking the lubrication. This front bumper discharge has two automatic drains.
One is here and one up there. When you charge it with water, the water pressure closes the drain. When you shut off the water, it's automatically gonna open up. So anytime you use the front bumper line, you're gonna have water coming out under. Until it drains this one pipe out. The rest, everything else you drain yourself.
Let's see on this side, oil transmission fluid there, there's a sightglass right there for the, uh, radiator, right? And it almost looks clear cuz that yellow. Gold colored flood almost looks clear in that glass.
Let's go to the other side real quick and we'll go over a couple things.
Hey Pete, why do we have to walk over here for the safety?
I remember what I walked for. Alright, so that's the safety on. Manam. We talk about the radiator reservoir in the class, right? Nothing's required to be in there anymore as long as the radiator's full positive, negative battery posts. That's the 12 volts right there. You could jump this firetruck off or jump a car off with that.
Don't ever go to the. To the battery with your jumper cables always go to those poke. This tank right here says the fill lines up here, but the flood level's down here, that's the flood that just raised the cab. When cab comes down, it fills back up. So what you could do, check it with the cab down, or if I take a mark and mark the flood line, every time it comes back, go, every time you go up, if it goes back to the same spot, you haven't lost any.
Uh, you don't have a manual lift on this one. There's no manual lift was put on it. These torsion bars, one on each side. They're look like they got the rhino coating on them. They can't have any metal showing. So try not to step on 'em. Try not to knock that coating off if you have metal showing it's supposed to be recovered because Surface Rusk causes those to start weakening.
They're under thousands of pounds of torque. So once again, it's not supposed to have any metal showing on the torsion bars. Here's your intake drain on that foam pump. Here's that strainer that we've seen pictures of in there that we would check to see if it's clogged up or not.
Other than that, I think that's it. Underneath y'all check fluids and belts, and that's about it, right? Yep. All right, well let's put this down and we'll put some water. We need that mop bucket. We had the yellow mop bucket full of water yesterday. Or just bring the bucket. We can put water in it right here.
All right. I'm gonna come down with this while you're doing that. Oh, power steering flooded right here is right. It's got a sight glass that I can just look at. The sight glass. I see it's full of flood, so I know I have plenty of power steering flood.
All right, I'm gonna bring you down real quick.
They already even.
Right there.
Your car can do that once and then I can't do it anymore. Gonna modify my card.
I can jump you. We got tools back at the end. All right. We need to hook this hose up to that high. Put some water in here. What?
We to your phony and tag. That means here. That mean here some native, native language. Yeah,
you say a key. That's something you start your car.
It has no water, man, so.
Ready, let it flow.
About 150 psi we were talking about right.
On that compound gate,
those blue comes off. Right. That's just, yeah. Those all just covers take off. How do you know, how do you know when you could take another line or not? Let's say I started flowing an aerial right off of this, right? How? How can you tell whether. Get flow. Another aerial off of what you have. What's that?
So I'll tell you a little, the most important number, one of the most important numbers we get when we go to the HY is the original number as soon as you open it up, ideally, is without any lines. So we're already usually at least off, right? That was already gold. We can't do nothing about it. Let's say I started with 70 psi, right after I opened the first line off the hydrant, it dropped 20 psi.
Well, if you have a zero to 10%, 10 is 70, right? Less. I can take three more equal size.
To 5%, only one more line people. It drops over percent after open that first area. I can't, another area I something, but I can't,
no line people. So that comes into play not on your house, fires where you're just pulling when you get through your larger fires, when your water climb, knowing what you can flow. Flow off that water. Obviously today we're limited by what we get to two and half inch. Somebody said yesterday, uh, how much we got good.
Well, the pressure on the hybrid don't really mean anything at all. It's the size of the make difference, the market. Now, what I just gave you is how you know, or
four line inch.
That right there tells you. You start opening How fast?
Hey, you can leave that. Leave that we you off here Cause we're gonna turn it on and off as all. So
let's see.
Yes. Without getting something.
That don't matter. Let's up
see a pickup.
Want in there? Yeah, the water. So we're gonna put water in the tanker now just to demonstrate how the fill your tank and then, uh, we'll draft that form through and, and put it out the nozzle. Then once we're done, we turn the foam off. I'm gonna open the. Use this water to flush the foam pump that because yesterday they still had to order foam.
I'm not sure if that's the brand you're going to end up with. So we're not gonna put any foam in your tank so that you don't have to flush it out when you decide which one you want. If somebody can start it and put it in pump gear, battery ignition's on, just hit the star button. Don't mess it up.
That's the one button. You want me to help you? No, here. Start.
As soon as the pump in here, we need some water to the pump. Wanna circulate some water? Right? Just open this enough. I feel moved through the valve. That's enough. Keep from the factory. Everything was.
So this.
Happen if you, I'm gonna start taking the water away. I'm real warning.
This one's gonna go back to last pressure. So
where you gonna see that's gonna lay line into you? Maybe somebody's helping you and they put it in on the, they charged the supply line. They the file before you. Before. Soon as the air hits the pump, that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna shut itself down if you don't do anything at all. And lift that water pressure, push the air on through once the water gets back.
Last question you gonna end up with. So type of valve intake valve, they all have bleeders, right? If you come to work and numeric when you get to work, I promise you'll when? But forget when you burning. Got 10 things to do right now. Right? Put the pump here. Help hose off all that stuff. Forget about those air.
So do you open them up when you get to work? Like I said, as soon as they open the hd, it's getting rid of the air before you ever open the house.
We're
pumping when you get back to the station. You need being high out if you're not. Cause this thing. Voltage. It's voltage that runs that pump voltage you'll,
I had it on. I would never find The Knight says are in the wrong position.
Read the manual. It says, turn off.
Feel battery ignition's always gonna go back to.
So we don't get.
Fire right
now we're
it went. The took closed. This just like the book says this, just like the book. At the same, I
lost.
So he says, gimme some phone. We're just going draft foam on already. I turned it on water, so it went straight to Lincoln. Right. Watch how slow is picking it up. Working
right.
Comes your phone.
So now we're fighting
here and now we're drafting straight from here. It's just going. Pumping out there
so that when I'm, you have water in there, you don't have,
you don't worry about this. What's it? No, not at all. Okay. Let's just not using that much foam right now. Right. Now, if I raise the percentage, it would suck that out, but I'm not gonna put it. Sure. So once I'm done, I'm gonna turn it off, blow water until I have clear water coming out.
What.
Right now the flushing I'm doing is just piping holes and nozzle right by turning it off. But the foam pumping, the manifold still have foam in it. I'm gonna use that water. I'm putting the tank to run all that out. So we just think you're not gonna be doing, I'm doing this cause we don't wanna, but right now, if I.
I'm flushing this right now.
We don't wanna No, you don't have to.
Absolutely. If you stay with your primary agent, that's not.
So that's clear. Looks pretty clear.
We go down
coming through.
That's all we got going through There is water.
So to get rid of the rest of the water, I'll just open this.
So now the foam pump. Just got water in it. Of course, I can open it up, see that pressure that come out. When I stop the phone pump, I just stop it where it's at. It's injecting under pressure every time you use the phone pump. Once you're done and flush it, open it. Pressure off the phone call so you're not running around with your phone.
Pump under pressure all the time.
Indicates whether you'll always have that status on your Absolutely. So here in all what we said today, this firetruck is no different than the fire truck you have right now. I don't care whose name's on it or what. A water is a water pump, once it's in gear. You're gonna do the same thing you do already, right?
Water in, water out hasn't changed a bit. Whether you open a valve this way or this way, or with electric button open and closing bounds, you heard anything about this you never heard before. The ones you have already do, right? I just probably might have give a little bit more in depth definition than we normally get.
I've known in fire schools, they don't teach this. I know none of our guys know it unless somebody tells them. Right? They're probably the same here. So if you heard anything about this, you uh, it does the same thing. The ideal is to prevent all that from happening. That's what we do. We can prevent, all this stuff I talked about is preventable if we do it.
But every once in a while, something somebody else does that causes you the problem. This is as easy as turning it on, right? You turn it on green light comes on. If you're throwing water, it should be flashing. That means the foam pump should the flow meter turn. It should be injecting foam. You're not getting foam.
First thing I do, and I know I have phone. I would hit open that, uh, discharge. Right. So you air comes out, then phone, close it back, the phone will show up. Uh, how often should we be looking at that phone screener? Only when we have issues or if I don't put nothing but brand new foam in it and I'll never mix em.
I should never have nothing in that. They say you need to check it monthly. I don't, I can't see checking it monthly. I mean, one, every time you take it off, you going all the foam outta the phone, right? I put brand new foam in it every time, unless I lift some trash up through that too, or I, that thing should be cleared all the time.
First time I don't get. That's what I'm gonna check, right? One of the things, check the vent in the top, check that, and then make sure all your valves in the right position. Only time. This, why is this blinking red low foam, right? Once you got this filled, that blinking goes away. And then the next one is the solid grid.
Just saying one of these valves are not in the right position.
And so down there on that yellow lever, the yellow valve up is the fill. Oh, this in there? Yeah. Only time we move this up is the fill. That's it. Yeah. Inside all other time. If you want foam, go outta your discharge, whether you're getting it from the tank.
Anybody got any questions at the pump? Now? They said there was one light that came on just by going into pump, so there's one light. Let's look this one here. The panel lights turned all of them that was going be the.
All right. What would you do now? Especially the drivers jump in the back, stand up on the side, and we'll go through the command zone.
Can I go? That's not gonna annoy the hell outta you. No. Hey, I hope this beeps at a different frequency when they're in the check engine lake. We're gonna ignore it if it's the same as our term. So begin with checking our flood and may have to wait until it settles in neutral, low idle, if I hit both of those transmission all level.
Okay. Whole life is 92%. Filters are Okay. Transmission health. Okay. And you're pushing both no codes and then back to north. Sorry. So did you have to push and hold initially or just push the, just push them Just one time. Okay. Yeah. Both of them at the same time. Got it. Yeah. Both at the same time. Now if you get the wrench in between there and this all life is at zero, that's why you have the wrench.
But if not, you can keep going until you get to some codes. Alright, so.
I'm going straight to the load manager to look at something
in order to turn this on. I thought you just pushed it. Yeah, that's what I did earlier. It's not coming on. I think you gotta turn. Turn your left off. Oh, here we go. Now I get that button on there. Now this, the compressor's on that turn to get us some air flow in here
is, there's a delay in this for some reason in all of them, air comes got got some air flow all. For some reason it's given some kind of code Right now if I hit in that, it says spin. I have no idea what that means,
but it's in, it's in amber. So a lot of these codes like this, whatever throws 'em when you kill battery ignition, restart, they don't come back. It's documented. Do you have a code that goes off, if not everyone's seatbelt in it before you started it? I mean, you gonna have a buzz, you get the bus, you gonna get a buzzer?
Absolutely. If, if I release the brake, Well one, I'm gonna get the buzzer for that cause the door's open. So, all right, let's start with the home screen, right? Diesel fuel, diesel exhaust fluid seatbelt status indicator if I put my finger on that Blue deal, emergency master lights scene, uh, panel two is scene lights and the load manager nothing on panel three or panel four.
I turned them on there. I could turn 'em off here. I don't know that you going to use this much. Right. All right. That fire ground screen, like I said, it just takes some of these cages and puts 'em there. It's the ones that are required to be on the pop panel. It works, but it's the same gauges you're already looking at.
So the menu HVAC is this right here, right? But that's right there too. So whether or not you use this transit mode is the home screen. Notifications is when I hit that little same page, false page, showing that code that's being thrown. Now,
do not move truck. I released a brake and that lamp comes on. This pops up, tells me what's open. Right now the driver driver's side cab is open and the what? Left side? Crew cab. The own crew cab door, the back door. They're letting anyone in here. All right, timer screen. Whether or not you use this, this is a stopwatch.
It'll count up or counts down. When it counts down, you have to put something in it for the countdown from then.
All right, camera man. Only have one camera. It's a backup camera and we'll go on reverse. That's what you got. There's another one to adjust the camera and I'll show you that in a minute. Alright, that was under can Camera menu. Diagnostics. This is just programming for the pump to go in gear. Ignition's gotta be on park brake set neutral.
The load manager's shedding something, it'll tell me it's shedding something.
Command zone. This is all the electrical inputs on this whole fire. Everything is monitored through here. This is for mechanics to go in and diagnose problems with the electrical system.
There you go. All right, so like I said, no, no, no. Hey, hey. Acted like a true captain up there. All right, GL daddy, well you might use this. This is what all this thing monitors. System voltage, front rear air pressures for your air tanks, ground speedometer, power steer, fluid level coolant temperature. That's your engine temperature, depth level, engine hours.
Oil temperature, fuel level, RPMs, oil pressure engine, coolant level. Uh, we have no foam in the tank, so it's showing zero pumping G, no high low pressure on your air condition is what that is. Then pt o a comp hours. Alright, and then let's see. Ambient tempera outside 1 0 1. Yeah. What are the two PTOs? PT A is your pump.
Uh, you don't have a second PTO on here. Oh, okay. So it's just, that'd be like lawn onboard, generator, ptl, a generator, or if this is a aerial, then you got PTL B would be your aerial pto. A might be your pump pto, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's under live data. Prognostic under diagnostic. Right. This is important.
In life, 890 miles. If I take that, you got about 202 2010 miles on this fire truck or, or 2090, I had that one. This, it comes to 3000. Once this hits zero, this is kind of a pain. What's going to happen right here? It's going in white, say service due, and it's going to scroll through what's due. Mechanics here Friday, I'm gonna make him aware of this.
He, they usually give the mechanics password that you go in and reset it, right? Y'all gonna decide how often this is done, right? And so, but every time it hits zero, you're gonna have that service due, and it has to be reset if an alarm comes on. When that happens, hit the menu and silence the alarm by hitting that speaker button.
And that's under prognostics. Not everything's on 3000 miles. Engine oil is at hours or mileage, obviously you got synthetic oil and you just go down transmission floods on about a 10,000 mile schedule. So that's under prognostic set up. Change the clock right now. It's four. That's four 13 military.
Standard time. Of course, the date, the back light, that's to adjust bright assist night and date, or there's a auto transition. As it gets dark, it goes, and that's adjustable. Also, the camera, you only have a backup camera from the factory straight down the middle. If it, if you get, lets all somebody goes in there and Jackson around, put 'em all back down the middle, see if it clears it up.
All right. Next thing is blackout mold. If I hit enable and I hit save, this blacks out all together. As you move out the road, is it blackout the lights on the outside, like military blackout? No, it's just blacks out this, yeah. I thought that'd be cool for staging. So obviously you want to disable it. Hit save for it to be like this one down the road.
The last thing, this is the password I was talking about. You go in there, reset the prognostics, diagnose electrical problems, change programming and all that, you're not gonna have a password. So
what piece can we program in
all your music? So right now, if I'm sitting at a red light and I wanna see what's behind me, I either go in reverse to get the rear view camera screen, or I could hit this hit. Menu and hit that while I'm in. Drive in short meat, right? Or see where it says Pierce. If I hit that button, I'll just get a triangle.
I change that into a camera and I leave it on that. If I hit that, I can see what's behind me and take it off. I hit. So leave it on that camera. And alls I gotta do is that. See what's behind me. Yeah, that's nice. Now, if this says Pierce, it ain't gonna work. Makes sense and that that's it on this thing.
There's not a whole lot you'll do with this. I mean, it comes in handy to go look at the, uh, see if the, uh, load manager shut something off or not. You know,
that's pretty much it.
Did we get cup loaders thrown in? There's a bunch of that over. Just order. I thought you could throw it in cause you love us so much. Yeah. Hey, you need to get 'em made out of plastic now. Probably didn't invite him to take pictures either. Didn't you
Talk to your salesman. You should be fired. I don't make as much money as yourself. What is this? Right behind. Little nice. Oh, if I go on reverse, if you're back there, back up man, and you talk, there's a speaker back here. Then you going hear That's what that is. That's a speaker for whoever reverse and you hear camera up your voice.
I heard that. Oh, so that's the speaker for the backup camera before the guy back there talking. Oh, okay. You'll hear him. So hey, we'll give somebody, go back there and talk at the back of the truck, back
where it's the volume. Thank you. Is there a volume? Hey, there he is.
Ah, don't ever, don't ever. There's no speaker back there, is there? No, I can't talk back. You can always talk back's. Not gonna hear you.
You guys send USB ports in the back. Power ports. You got a USB port baby right here. I don't know if you got any.
