Pump operations:
This video is the closest example of how Truck 1221 pumping works. I would like to see videos like the Truck 971 but strictly on our 1221 Truck. I could make video on Truck 1221 if I can get some help. As many times as I have been shown how it all works......, I still need a refresher which a video here would do.
Brush Truck Video TBD
Water Tender Video TBD
