1-8. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
CONTROL PANEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (1). Used to operate and control the centrifugal pump unit. The control
panel assembly is located at the front of the unit. It is supported by the suction assembly and noise shield. The control
panel assembly contains the operating and instrument panels The electrical system contains the wiring and hardware
connecting the control panel components with the engine and pumping controls and sensors.
ETHER START KIT (2) Used when engine will not start normally in cold weather. Injects a mist of liquid ether into the
engine air intake system to aid ignition. The starting aid components are the ether cylinder, control nozzle, and the hose
between the nozzle and the air intake.
DISCHARGE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY (3) Controls the liquid pumped out of the pump body discharge port. The
manifold is attached to the discharge port flange at the top of the pump body It is supported by this connection and
support brackets on the skid frame The assembly consists of a gate valve, a check valve, an air valve, connective
piping, and a victaulic coupling flange.
FUEL TANK (4). Contains a 20-gallon supply of diesel fuel for the engine The tank is mounted to the rear third of the
skid frame, just below the engine. The tank includes a filler cap, fuel gage, and various fittings for fuel lines.
NOISE SHIELD (5). Reduces pump and engine noise at the operator's position in front of the control panel. In addition,
the shield reduces vibration of the control panel and supports the front portion of the fabric cover. The base of the shield
is mounted to the front of the skid frame, and to the supports of the control panel
SUCTION ASSEMBLY (6). This assembly controls the liquid supply to the pump body suction port The assembly is
secured to the suction port mounting studs at the front of the pump body It is supported by this connection and support
brackets on the skid frame. The suction assembly consists of a gate valve, a strainer assembly, connective piping, and a
victaulic coupling flange.
SKID ASSEMBLY (7). The skid assembly is a movable mounting platform for the major components of the centrifugal
pump unit. The skid is a welded frame with provisions for mounting the components, runners which incorporate enclosed
forklift pockets, battery and tool boxes, and a 20-gallon engine fuel tank.
TOOL BOX (8). Centrifugal pump unit accessories are stored in the tool box. It is attached to left side of the skid frame,
in front of the battery box.
