2-15. EMERGENCY AERIAL PROCEDURES. In the event that the main hydraulic pump becomes inoperable

a emergency hydraulic pump is available that can be used to assure continued operation of hydraulic functions.

General Information. The emergency hydraulic pump is driven by an electric motor that is

Because the emergency pump is not an on-demand, variable displacement type pump, it should not be

operated unless a hydraulic function is required. This prevents possible burn-out of the electric motor that

drives the hydraulic pump. The emergency pump runs at a slower speed than the main hydraulic pump.

Because of this, the hydraulic functions will operate at a slower speed when the emergency hydraulic pump is

used.

CAUTION

To avoid equipment damage, do not operate emergency

hydraulic pump without the proper hydraulic valves engaged.

To prevent the emergency hydraulic pump from burning out, it

should only be used a maximum of five minutes and then

allowed to cool for 60 minutes, or damage will result.

The manual diverter valve is only intended to allow operation of

hydraulic functions if the electric valve system malfunctions. To

avoid equipment damage, do not use manual diverter valve to

override the electrical interlock system.
