discharge pressure are related to the pump speed.Decreasing the engine speed, andthus the pump speed, will decrease the water discharge volume and pressure. Ifoperating at less than maximum volume and pressure, increasing the engine speedwill increase the pump output.The pumping assembly has controls that sense thesuction and discharge pressures.When operated in an automatic mode, the controlsadjust the engine speed as needed to regulate the pump output.1.14.1 SourceorLeadPump.When operated as a source or lead pump, the pumpingassembly draws water from a large source,such as a lake or stream or a storagefacility that is supplied by wells, water purification units, or desalinationoperations.If operated singly as a source pump, the water is fed to anotherstorage facility.If operated as a lead pump, the water is fed downline through ahoseline or pipeline to a boost pump.1.14.2 BoostPump.When operated as a boost pump, the pumping assembly draws waterfrom a hoseline or pipeline and feeds it downline to the next boost pump or to astorage facility.Operated manually during startup and can then be switched to anautomatic mode for sustained operation.In automatic mode, engine speed isregulated automatically.1.14.3 Engine and Control Electrical System.The engine starter and engine controls aresupplied with direct current (de) electric power by the pumping assembly battery orbatteries and engine alternator.1.14.4 TrailerLights.The trailer lights are supplied with 24 volts dc through anelectrical cable connected to the towing vehicle.1.14.5 TrailerHydraulicBrakeSystem.The pumping assembly trailer is equipped with aninertial hydraulic brake system.The inertial hydraulic brake system automaticallyapplies the brakes when the vehicle SlOWS or stops or when the trailer accidentallyuncouples from the towing vehicle.The brake system includes a drawbar ring orlunette, a hydraulic brake actuator, a master cylinder, a breakaway lever andchain, brake lines, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and brake drums.1.14.5.1 Lunette.The lunette attaches to the towing vehicle.It is connected to thehydraulic brake actuator, which controls the master cylinder.When the towingvehicle moves forward the lunette is pulled and the brakes are released.When thetowing vehicle slows down, the trailer pushes the lunette against the towingvehicle, which causes the brakes to be applied.1.14.5.2 HydraulicBrakeActuator.The hydraulic brake actuator connects the drawbarring/lunette to the master cylinder.It transmits mechanical motion from thedrawbar ring/lunette to the master cylinder.1.14.5.3 Master Cylinder.The master cylinder receives mechanical motionhydraulic brake actuator and from the breakaway lever.It changes themotion into hydraulic pressure.The hydraulic pressure is transmittedbrake lines.1.14.5.4 BreakawayLeverandChain.The breakaway chain is attached to thefrom themechanicalthrough thebreakawaylever and to the towing vehicle.It will pull the breakaway lever up if thetrailer accidentally uncouples from the towing vehicle.When the breakaway leveris pulled up, it transmits mechanical motion to the master cylinder and appliesbrakes.1.14.5.5 Brake Lines and Wheel Cylinders.The brake lines transmit hydraulic pressurefrom the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders.When pressurized, the wheelcylinders engage the brake shoes.1.14.5.6 Brake Shoes and Drums.When wheel cylinder pressure causes the brake shoes tobe engaged, the brake shoes press against the brake drums.This causes frictionthat slows and stops the trailer.The brake shoes disengage from contact with thebrake drums when the pressure is released.1-15/(1-16 Blank)TM 10-4320-344-10
