DRIVER/OPERATOR - AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIRE FIGHTING …

1 DRIVER/OPERATOR - AIRCRAFT RESCUE fire FIGHTINGNFPA 1002 The following detailed lesson plans for apparatus DRIVER/OPERATOR - AIRCRAFT RESCUE fire Fighter are based on NFPA 1002, Standard for fire Department Vehicle DRIVER/OPERATOR Professional, 1993 Edition. These lesson plans contain the same material that is covered in the Career Development Course for DRIVER/OPERATOR ARFF. The material in these lesson plans follows natural learning simple to complex sequencing practices. Therefore, mastery of the material in the beginning is required before advancing to the latter lesson plans. The sequence of material in these detailed lesson plans is different from the Career Development Course and NFPA 1002 sequence, which were designed to serve other purposes.

2 It is recommended that you become familiar with NFPA 1002, Standard for fire Department Vehicle DRIVER/OPERATOR Professional Qualifications prior using these lesson plans. The following list identifies all Lesson Plans and the related NFPA 1002 Job Performance Requirements. Note that if some of the numbers appear more than once; this is because several of the Job Performance Requirements or their prerequisites have to be broken in parts and taught at different times. Finally, if only the Job Performance Requirement number is identified, then all the prerequisite knowledge and skills are covered in that lesson.

6 However, as ARFF Driver/Operators become more familiar with vehicle, it may be easier and quicker to approach the vehicle location by location: inside the cab, around the body, under the hood, check for corrosion around terminals and other areas surrounding the these clean to ensure maximum contact between battery and electrolyte the water level of the battery and fill, if fill point should at least cover sure water is between minimum andmaximum fill is the density of the water which tells thedriver/ operator how charged the battery check; draw water from battery into a hydrometerApparatus DRIVER/OPERATOR - AIRCRAFT RESCUE fire Fighting5 Lesson Plan 1 LESSON OUTLINEINSTRUCTOR the measurement on the hydrometer which indicates whether the battery is charged enough to must be done cell by for the voltmeter to the two terminals of the battery.

7 Be sure that the polarity is correct: red on red (positive) and black on black (negative) sure voltmeter is set to the appropriate the the battery if the hydrometer indicates the battery is polarity of battery to be charged (positive or negative ground) red charger cable to positive battery black charger cable to negative battery battery charger to a reliable power source (away from gasoline and other flammable vapors) desired battery charging voltage andcharging rate (if so equipped); switches on battery chargers should be in the OFF position when not in caution because hydrogen gas is producedduring procedure to disconnect the charger test by tapping the brake low air warning air chuck on rear of emergency brakes (hand brakes) for holdApparatus DRIVER/OPERATOR - AIRCRAFT RESCUE fire Fighting6 Lesson Plan 1 LESSON OUTLINEINSTRUCTOR coolant system protects both engine and safety, be sure coolant is checked when the engine is entirely the coolant color and level in the radiator and add fluid (if applicable) the hoses for cracks or the coolant system and add rust inhibitor (if applicable)
