Note: Re-set the hand throttle to idle prior to driving the tanker as the exhaust brake will not operate while the throttle is set above idle.
Turn to increase
Session 2:
Diesel Particulate Diffuser (DPD)

The DPD is an after treatment device (like an additional muffler in the exhaust system) that dramatically reduces Particulate Matter (PM)
The DPD system purifies the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) discharged from the exhaust and captures PM in a filter The accumulation of PM is monitored by the engines Electric Control Module (ECM)
Session 2:
Automatic Regeneration
The ECM automatically initiates the DPD regeneration process which burns the accumulated PM during a 3 to 30 minute cycle depending on the internal DPD filter temperature at the start of the process The driver is notified that DPD regeneration is in progress by a green lamp on the dash
Session 2:
Manual Regeneration
If the automatic regeneration process does not occur as a result of abnormal driving conditions, the driver is notified by a slow flashing orange lamp on the dash
This means the manual regeneration process is required at your earliest convenience
Session 2:
Manual Regeneration
To activate a manual regeneration process:
Pull over in a safe place, apply the hand brake and leave the tanker idling in neutral Press the DPD switch (mounted on the dash) and wait for around 20 minutes.
The orange lamp on the dash glows steadily and is extinguished when the regeneration process has finished. Then the tanker can be driven normally.
Session 2:
Manual Regeneration
If the slow flashing orange lamp is ignored it flashes faster indicating that you are urgently required to perform the manual regeneration process
Session 2:
Manual Regeneration
If the fast flashing orange lamp is ignored, then excessive accumulation of PM will eventually clog the filter and compromise its operation to reduce emissions As a result the Engine Control Unit will de-rate the engine to limp mode to reduce the amount of emissions it can produce and to protect the DPD from permanent and expensive damage Limp mode effectively means that only 40-50% of the engines power can be used. That is, your maximum driving speed would be reduced to somewhere around 40km/h
Session 2:
Manual Regeneration
The only way to retain full engine power (remove it from limp mode) is to have the truck returned to an Isuzu dealer (on a flat bed tray) so that they can physically pull apart the DPD, clean it and reset the ECM
The manual regeneration process can be interrupted if the tanker must be moved
Session 2:
What does it mean for CFA?

During normal driving, the automatic regeneration process will occur However there is the potential that during low speed, long engine idle periods that a manual regeneration process will be required. If a manual regeneration process is required during fire fighting operations, the tanker shall be removed from the fire ground and the manual regeneration process activated
Session 2:
Recommended CFA Practice

To help mitigate the need to do a manual regeneration process on the fire ground, after each shift at the staging area, and with the engine at normal operating temperature, the driver shall try to perform a manual regeneration. Each time the vehicle is put away, or once per week (whichever occurs first), and with the engine at normal operating temperature, the driver shall try to perform a manual regeneration. The engine ECM will only allow a manual regeneration to occur if there is sufficient restriction through the DPD, and therefore may not occur each time it is attempted.
Session 2:
Recommended CFA Practice

If a manual regeneration commences, someone is required to stay with the vehicle until the manual regeneration process has completed (approximately 30 minutes) before the engine is shut down. When an auto regeneration process commences whilst driving, you can still continue to drive the vehicle, but the auto regeneration process must be allowed to be completed before the engine is shut down .

Session 2:
Indicator Lights
The Flush indicator light (orange) Illuminates when the pump ignition is turned on allowing water to flush the proportioner. Foam indicator light (red) When the metering valve is set to deliver foam, the Flush light will extinguish and the Foam indicator light will illuminate to indicate that foam is now being proportioned.
Session 2:
To Supply Foam
Ensure adequate supply of foam concentrate
Start pump and set pressure between 600 and 1000 kPa (Optimum 700 kPa). Do not exceed 1000 kPa Open branch to provide water flow through the pump and foam proportioner Ensure tank fill valve is closed. Do not open during foam production The Foam indicator light (red) will be illuminated. The drive water solenoid will be On for the entire duration of foam production Foam solution will circulate around the pump for branch/nozzle delivery
Session 2:
Shutting Down
With foam discharging from the branch, set the Quenchmaster foam percentage valve to the Off position Foam indicator light (red) will extinguish and the Flush indicator light (orange) will illuminate Flush the remaining water foam solution through the hoses until clear water shows at the branch Close branch and delivery lines Set the Class A foam valve to the Foam Off position Flush tanker reticulation system and all outlets (including front sprays) until clear water is observed Once tanker reticulation system has been flushed, operate the crew protection spray system in order to flush any foam solution out
[continued]
Session 2:
Shutting Down
Note: Every time the pump ignition is turned on, the Quenchmaster drive water solenoid will open allowing water to flush and lubricate the system Ensure the Quenchmaster foam proportioning valve is turned Off In the event that foam entered the water tank during firefighting/training operations, flush the water tank until free of foam
Session 2:
Foam Concentrate
Foam concentrate is stored in 2 x 20 litre carboys A single foam pick-up tube is connected to the carboy and supplies foam concentrate to the proportioning valve
Note: If the carboy lid is not a vented type, the lid must be unscrewed approx to 1 turn to allow air to enter the carboy. Failure to loosen the lid will result in a negative pressure forming in the container resulting in reduced concentrate flow to the proportioner
Session 2:
Tank Fill Valve

During foam production, the tank fill / recirculation valve must remain closed
In the event that this valve is opened during foam production, contamination of the water tank will result
Session 2:
Pump Cooling
When the Class A foam valve is in the On position water being used by the branches provides cooling for the pump by providing a flow of water through the pump. During foam production, if branches are turned off, water stops flowing through the pump and as a result the pump may overheat. Note: When foam is being produced, branches should not be shut off for more than five minutes while the pump is operating. Damage to the pump seal is likely to occur after this time due to an increase of water temperature in the pump.
Session 2:
Pump Cooling
Class A foam valve
Foam Off position - water is circulated back to the water tank therefore providing pump cooling Foam On position - the pump by-pass line is closed and the water diverted to the foam inductor In this position there is no pump cooling capacity.
