A. INSPECT P-100 PUMP UNIT:
1.  Inspect pump unit frame for:
a.  Inspect skids for cracks or damage.
b.  Inspect carrying handles for proper operation, damage, loose pins or loose mounting hardware.
c.  Inspect engine mounts for cracks, damage or loose bolted connections. / Ref (b)
2.  Inspect pump suction and discharge fitting threads and exhaust flange for damage. Ensure suction and discharge caps are available. / Ref (b)
3.  Inspect hoses, tubes, fittings and clamps:
a.  Inspect for loose or damaged clamps and fittings.
b.  Inspect hoses and tubes for signs of leaks, cracks, kinks, bulges or deterioration.
c.  Inspect 18 inch extension hose. (Hydro and condition)
d.  Inspect wye-gate and tri-gate for condition and operation. / Ref (b)
4.  Inspect recoil starter:
a.  Inspect starter housing for cracks or loose mounting hardware.
b.  Depress decompression lever and slowly pull starter rope fully out and inspect for wear.
c.  Inspect starter rope guide for cracks or damage. / Ref (b)
5.  Inspect controls and indicators for damage and proper operation:
a.  Engine speed lever and thumbscrew assembly.
b.  Throttle linkage assembly.
c.  Fuel cock valve.
d.  Exhaust primer shut off valve.
e.  Pump drain valve.
f.  Compound pressure gage.
g.  Fuel level tube.
/ Ref (b)
6.  Inspect exhaust priming assembly:
a.  Inspect primer exhaust valve assembly for damage.
b.  Inspect exhaust valve discharge flange for damage or carbon buildup.
c.  Ensure that exhaust priming ejector is free from carbon buildup or obstructions.
d.  Manually cycle exhaust primer valve to verify freedom of operation. / Ref (b)
7.  Inspect air filter housing for damage or corrosion. / Ref (b)
8.  Inspect engine assembly.
a.  Inspect for leaking gaskets, fittings, or seals.
b.  Inspect for corrosion of engine castings, covers and mounting and assembly hardware.
c.  Inspect flywheel cover for damage, corrosion or loose mounting hardware. / Ref (b)
9.  Is the spare fuel tank red in color and has a 4 inch wide purple/yellow band and stenciled. Is the fuel tank mounted to the pump and has no missing or loose hardware?
Note: The P-100 pump is a commercial diesel engine driven portable pump unit designed for firefighting and limited dewatering functions aboard ships. The pump unit engine can be fueled with either JP-5 or F-76 fuels. JP-5 is the preferred fuel due to the ability to operate using JP-5 over the pump unit’s entire operating temperature range. / Ref (c)
B. OPERATIONAL TEST
1.  TEST OPERATE P-100 PUMP WITH SUCTION LIFT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 20 FT.
NOTE: Before operating the P-100, be sure that all suction hose connections between the foot valve and the pump are tight, and that the strainer is completely submerged in water. If the exhaust primer fails to lift water, or if the discharge shows an uneven stream, the most probable cause is air leaking into the suction through a poor connection. Be sure to support the suction hose so that the weight of the hose will not be borne by the pump casing. Make certain that the foot valve is completely submerged during the entire period of pump operation; otherwise severe damage to the equipment may result.
a.  Inspect engine fuel level. / Ref (a)
b.  Inspect engine oil level on a level surface with engine stopped. / Ref (a)
c.  Operate pump at suction lift less than or equal to 20 ft. for 5 minutes minimum. / Ref (a)
d.  Inspect pump discharge pressure. Proper discharge pressure (75-85psig) when operating a single 1 ½” fire hose with nozzle. Record pressure. / Ref (a)
e.  Observe pump shaft packing drip rate with pump unit discharging water. Packing drip rate should be 5-60 drops per minute (60 drops per minute maximum). Record drip rate. / Ref (a)
f.  Inspect exhaust hose for leaks. / Ref (a)
g.  Inspect exhaust smoke color.
Note: Exhaust smoke should be clear or a “light” blue color after engine has warmed up and the pumping unit is discharging water. Continued appearance of “black” smoke is indicative of a fuel delivery or air flow restriction. / Ref (a)
2.  TEST OPERATE P-100 PUMP WITH SUCTION LIFT GREATER THAN 20 FT.
NOTE: Before operating the P-100, be sure that all suction hose connections between the foot valve and the pump are tight, and that the strainer is completely submerged in water. If the exhaust primer fails to lift water, or if the discharge shows an uneven stream, the most probable cause is air leaking into the suction through a poor connection. Be sure to support the suction hose so that the weight of the hose will not be borne by the pump casing. Make certain that the foot valve is completely submerged during the entire period of pump operation; otherwise severe damage to the equipment may result.
Attach 1 ½” hose to eductor charging port, using 1 ½” x 2 ½” adaptor if required. Attach foot valve assembly to eductor inlet, using adaptor if required. Using a spanner wrench, attach 3” suction line to eductor outlet connection, using 3” female swivel x ½” female adaptor. Using spanner wrench, attach a 3” suction line to pump suction fitting. Suction line assembly must consist of required number of 10’ lengths of suction hose, sufficient length of eductor charging hose and a foot valve/strainer unit and eductor on submerged end. Make sure all connections are secure. Carefully lower hoses into water making sure eductor and foot valve/strainer unit remain submerged at least 1 foot throughout operating period. Make sure suction line slopes continuously downward from pump intake to water. Attach tri-gate valve to pump discharge fitting. Tri-gate may be attached to pump discharge fitting by using a short 2 ½” dia. X 18” extension hose. Attach eductor charging hose to 2 ½” tri-gates discharge port, using adaptor if required. Leave eductor charging line cut out valve on tri-gate open. Ensure one 1 ½” port of tri-gate valve is closed and fill eductor charging hose and suction hose with water from firemain or potable water source through the remaining port
a.  Inspect engine fuel level. / Ref (a)
b.  Inspect engine oil level on a level surface with engine stopped. / Ref (a)
c.  Operate pump at suction lift greater than 20 ft. for 5 minutes minimum. / Ref (a)
d.  Inspect pump discharge pressure. Proper discharge pressure (45-60psig) when operating a single 1 ½” fire hose with nozzle. Record discharge pressure. / Ref (a)
e.  Observe pump shaft packing drip rate with pump unit discharging water. Packing drip rate should be 5-60 drops per minute (60 drops per minute maximum). Record drip rate. / Ref (a)
f.  Inspect exhaust hose for leaks. / Ref (a)
g.  Inspect exhaust smoke color.
NOTE: Exhaust smoke should be clear or a “light” blue color after engine has warmed up and the pumping unit is discharging water. Continued appearance of “black” smoke is indicative of a fuel delivery or air flow restriction. / Ref (a)
