Yes, the FireDefence™ unit comes equipped with a 6m suction fill kit, allowing it to draw water from external sources such as tanks, dams, or swimming pools. Always ensure the water source is clean and free of debris to prevent pump damage and maintain efficient performance.
Routine maintenance includes checking and topping up the oil level, changing the oil as per Honda’s recommendations, cleaning or replacing the air filter, and inspecting the spark plug for wear. Refer to the Honda owner’s manual for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.
The LiquidLocker™ baffling system minimises water surge inside the tank during transport, greatly improving vehicle stability and control. This added safety feature helps maintain balance when operating on uneven terrain or during sudden acceleration and braking.
The 36m x ¾” hose reel is standard for the FireDefence™ unit and can accommodate other hoses fitted with compatible camlock connections. Ensure that any replacement or extension hose meets the pressure rating of the pump for safe operation.
Always operate the unit on stable, level ground to prevent tipping. Keep the area clear of flammable materials and wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and hearing protection. Regularly inspect for leaks, and ensure the pressure relief bypass system is functioning correctly before each use.
