SECTION II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1-9. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.
a. Characteristics and Capabilities. The 'DED pump assembly is designed to pump water and has the following
characteristics and capabilities.
(1) Self contained diesel engine driven unit.
(2) The pump and engine assembly are enclosed within an enclosure assembly which has been specially designed to
reduce the amount of noise emitted from the DED pump assembly during pumping operations.
(3) The DED pump assembly is capable of pumping 65 gallons per minute of water at not more than a 50 foot head
and not more than a 10 foot static suction lift.
b. Features. The DED pump assembly has the following features.
(1) The diesel engine is equipped with a manual recoil type starter.
(2) The enclosure assembly is equipped with a roll-over frame mounted onto the enclosure to provide an easier and
more stable way of manually moving the DED pump assembly to various operating sites. These handles also act
as a roll cage to protect the unit in the event the unit should roll over.
(3) A throttle control on the engine allows for varying the speed of the engine to control the pumping rate of the DED
pump assembly.
(4) After the pump has been initially primed, it is capable of being stopped and restarted without the need of further
priming.
1-10. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS. The following major components of the DED
pump assembly are described below and are located as shown on Figure 1-2.
a. Diesel Engine Assembly. A 3. 8 horsepower diesel engine (1) is provided to drive the pump.
b. Pump. A self-priming pump (2) is attached to the diesel engine assembly. This centrifugal type pump uses an
impeller to provide the pumping capability of the DED pump assembly.
