pump
480 Gallon water tank
A Pierce PUC pump is operated via a Rear Engine Power Take Off (REPTO). Instead of being
driven from a transmission PTO, anytime the engine is turning, the REPTO is operating and
the driveshaft between it and the electro
the “Water Pump” switch engages the clutch and thus turns the pump.
this is the driveshaft that comes from between the engine and transmission at the 1 O’Clock
position.
The following will address some of the signi
with PUC’s (E17/P72 & T14/L06)
IMPORTANT- DO NOT PLACE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE
drive will DISABLE the hand throttle
With truck running, in neutral,
toggle switch up once until light
illuminates

PUC’s (E17/P72 & T14/L06) and how to engage/operate the pump.

Pierce PUC pump is operated via a Rear Engine Power Take Off (REPTO). Instead of being
driven from a transmission PTO, anytime the engine is turning, the REPTO is operating and
magnetic clutch for the pump is turning. Activating
When tilting the cab,
this is the driveshaft that comes from between the engine and transmission at the 1 O’Clock
ficant differences that have been encountered
for stationary pumping. Selecting
you are PUMP AND ROLL ready.
Pump is engaged when
this light is green
2
The pump panel is located in Compartment #1, the LED light at the top in the image will
illuminate when the pump is engaged.
3
Once pump is engaged, press the “CONTROL MODE” button once, and the “PRESSURE
CONTROL” light will illuminate indicating throttle is ready to use in pressure mode. If button
is pressed a second time, the throttle will switch to RPM mode. T14 has no discharge pressure
relief valve and will automatically throttle up and down to maintain the pressure that is set.
IF you press “PRESET” the current preset pressure is 165 psi.
4
Driver and passenger side 5” Supply inlets are opened via these electronic valves. Hold
“OPEN” button to introduce water. Pump will automatically throttle down and maintain set
pressure as water pressure from supply line is introduced. BE AWARE, it will only throttle
down to idle engine speed. You may still have to GATE DOWN your discharge. You will not
have to adjust the throttle if you have set the pressure governor correctly.
The preset values on these valves will open them to 50% (1/2 open).

“Manual” “pump shift” override. IF cab switch fails to work, lift cover and flip switch.
Continue operations as normal. You should still see the “pump illumination” light
come on over the panel and hear the pump engage.
As a note, it is not recommended by Pierce to us the apparatus pump for hose testing
(see Pierce PUC Operation and Maintenance Manual, pg 4-7 section 4-4 for a caution
note).

Additional Control Differences – CAB TILT
Cab tilt controls are on passenger side in compartment 6.
9
The pump (blue arrow) on a PUC is visible by tilting the cab. The PTO shaft (red arrow)
is shielded as it is rotating any time the engine is running.
Front of apparatus

Additional Control Differences – GENERATOR
To engage generator, first press “AERIAL PTO” then “GEN PTO” while the truck is not in
motion, then press “GEN ON/OFF” so that both are illuminated. The Generator must be on
for the “DS FLOOD”, “PS FLOOD”, and “FRONT BASKET FLOOD” lights to work. The “REAR
SCENE” lights will work without them (12V).

11
Extrication Battery Charging Plug: In compartment 10 there is a quad receptacle with one
side painted red. The batteries for the extrication tools in this compartment are normally
plugged into the non-painted side which is connected to shore power. IF on-scene additional
charging is necessary, the power strip may be plugged into the red side and then with the
Generator ON and the PS FLOOD lights ON the red receptacles will be powered up.
12
AERIAL OPERATION
Aerial operation is essentially the same as L04 & 05. Cab controls include:
1. AERIAL MASTER
2. AERIAL PTO
3. FRONT WHEEL LOCK (Brake)
13
The FRONT WHEEL LOCK can be left on (per pierce training rep) as it will shut off when the
ignition is turned off. When the ignition is turned back on it will turn on (you’ll hear the air
being applied to the front brakes). When the spring brakes are turned off, the front wheel
lock function will also turn off. When the spring brakes are re-applied, the FRONT WHEEL
LOCK will re-engage.
14
Single control for stabilizers. Stabilizers do not have pins.
15
Controls for air to the tip are to the right of the base of the ladder. There is still a valve on the
cylinder under the aerial on the turntable.
16
Lyfe Support /Lyfe Ladder system for stokes basket and ladder attachment for parapet walls.
This is typically left stowed in the bucket on the floor. If left on and you “Auto Stow” the
monitor with the fog nozzle, the nozzle will hit the bracket (see picture below). Note controls
are similar to other aerials and you have the ability to control the left (engineer’s side) nozzle
here via switches here, switches at the pedestal, or….
17
Manually, or….
18
Electronically at the nozzle
19
Fog nozzle is a 300-2000 GPM automatic nozzle for 80-120 PSI. Currently the nozzle is set at
the 100psi setting. Use flow meter!
Per TFT the “Lower PSI setting is for maximum flows” and the “Higher PSI setting is for
increasing reach”.
20
Platform leveling (tilt up) switches. Both are momentary, so to raise you have to hold both
switches until tilted to desired spot.
21
Access panel for manual hydraulic controls for outriggers.
Manual controls for the ladder are still at the base of the aerial on the platform.
22
Other Cab Operations –
Siren control head…In addition to mechanical siren operated by the foot switch or officers
push button, there is an electronic siren. Push one button to turn it on & cycle it, push both
to turn it off.
Note: The air horn is run via the steering wheel horn switch or officers push button. A floor
switch will be installed by fleet at a future service.
23
There is a backup and right turn camera. The right turn camera activates with the turn signal,
the back up with the transmission in Reverse. You can manually activate them by pressing
“Video” on the command zone screen. You can change which cameras (or combination
thereof) are displayed with the “QUAD” button.
The Command Zone Display may be dimmed manually by going through the menu. Or, if the
headlights are kept on, as on most apparatus, cycle the headlight switch off and back on and
the display will auto dim to the “night display brightness” setting.
24
Two emergency master switches.
NOTE: IF the RotoRay is too bright at night, you may disable it using the over head switch for
it.
25
DIFF LOCK - This is a Driver Controlled Differential Lock (DCDL), not to be confused with the
Inter-Axle Differential LOCK (IADL). This button when pressed activates a “locker” in the rear
axle of the tandem to further combat loss of drive traction. Only activate it without wheel
slippage (either speed of zero or wheels spinning at the same speed). Also follow these
instructions:
Only engage DCDL under poor road conditions
Do not engage during downhill operation
Do not engage or operate above speeds of 25 mph.
26
IADL Switch (right knee area)
For further information on the operation / function of the IADL and DCDL see:
