SECTION II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1.10 EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.
The 350 GPM Pumping Assembly is designed specifically to transfer gasoline, jet
fuels, and light liquid petroleum fuels.
The unit can be transported for short
distances by means of a towing vehicle or loaded on a flatbed trailer for long
distances.
It consists of an air cooled, three cylinder diesel engine and a self-
priming centrifugal pump mounted on a two wheel frame assembly.
The 350 GPM
Pumping Assembly incorporates its own control panel and suction and discharge
valves.
These components are also mounted on the frame assembly.
An internal fuel
tank supplies fuel to the diesel engine, thereby making the equipment completely
self supporting.
1..11 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
Figure 1-2 illustrates the major components of the 350 GPM Pumping Assembly.
Table 1-2 lists the major components and provides a description of each major
component for the pumps.

Description and Purpose
Gate valve, manually operated, provides positive
means of pump flow shutoff.
When opened, allows
liquids to be discharged through centrifugal
pump.
Gate valve, manually operated, provides positive
means of pump flow shutoff.
When opened, allows
liquids to be brought up through the centrifugal
pump.
Pumps liquids through the suction valve and out
through the discharge valve.
Provides the operating controls and indicators to
properly operate the pump.
An air cooled, three cylinder diesel engine that
drives the centrifugal pump.
Filters ambient air prior to entering the diesel
engine.
Two twelve volt, 100 ampere hour, leadacid
batteries used to supply 12 V dc for engine
cranking.
Belt driven; provides voltage to all electrical
circuits after engine starts.
In addition,
recharges batteries.
Turns flywheel to crank engine during start up.
Fuel shutdown solenoid item 10 and throttle control are only used on
the non-regulated models.
FUEL SHUTDOWN SOLENOID
Two position rack type solenoid.
When either low
oil pressure condition exists or cooling fan
V-belt breaks, shuts down engine.
