Ben Hirst Fire Apparatus Driver & Operator Exam 1 Practice

The key idea is which checks are explicitly listed to verify the pump’s normal operation and control responses. The intake relief valve test ensures the relief valve opens at the correct pressure to protect the system. The pump shift indicator test confirms the indicator accurately reflects the pump’s shift position, so the operator knows which setting is engaged. The no-load governed engine speed test checks that the engine governor maintains the proper RPM when the pump isn’t delivering water, preventing overspeed.

Temperature rise test, on the other hand, is not described as a pump testing feature in that material. It would relate to how hot components get under operation and is a thermal assessment rather than a standard pump control and safety check. So the item not listed is the temperature rise test.
