How to use the fire equipment hydraulic spreader?

The Fire Apparatus Hydraulic Expander Dew is an emergency rescue tool used to expand narrow places such as walls or holes. It uses a hydraulic system to create more space by applying a high-pressure wave body to push the spreader's legs to spread it open. This tool is usually used by firefighters during rescue missions, and it helps them provide better access and perform rescue operations when encountering narrow places. Below you will find more details on how to use a hydraulic spreader for firefighting equipment.

Firstly, make sure that you have familiarised yourself with how a hydraulic spreader works and follow the instruction manual to understand the role and function of each operating component. This is very important as it will ensure that you use this tool correctly and efficiently.

Before using the hydraulic spreader, check that it is in good working condition. Make sure that all the pipes and connectors are not leaking or loose, and make sure that there is enough fluid in the tank. If problems are found, they need to be repaired or replaced first.

In actual use, select the appropriate expansion head first. According to the actual scene, choose the expansion head that matches the place to be expanded. Make sure that the expansion head is well connected and firmly fixed to the end of the hydraulic rod.

Then, place the expander in the area to be expanded. Ensure that the spreader head is firmly in contact with walls, holes, etc. to ensure the stability of the spreader.

Next, connect the hydraulic pump to the expander and make sure there are no air leaks in the connection. Open the valve on the hydraulic pump and start supplying pressure to the hydraulic spreader. As the oil enters the wave pressure expander, you will see the feet of the expander begin to open up new by new.

Gradually increase the pressure as needed during the expansion process. Keep an eye on the dilation heads to make sure they are making smooth contact with the target surface. If you notice a void or mismatch between the spreader heads and the wall, you will need to stop the operation and reposition the spreader. Continuously increase the pressure of the hydraulic pump until the desired level of expansion is reached. After the desired level of expansion has been reached, close the valve on the hydraulic pump and stop the pressure supply. Then, wait for a few moments to allow the dilator head to fit fully against the target surface. You can check if the expander is stable and if the desired expansion is achieved. After completing the application, close the valve of the hydraulic pump and gradually reduce the pressure of the hydraulic pump to allow the dilator foot to gradually retract. Remove the spreader and hydraulic pump from the target area to ensure the tool is in a safe condition. Safety needs to be observed at all times when using a fire apparatus hydraulic spreader. The operator should wear a helmet, appropriate protective gloves and shoes. Avoid using the spreader in narrow spaces as this may cause more danger.

In short, the correct use of fire equipment hydraulic spreader can improve the efficiency and safety of rescue work. Familiar with and correctly operate the hydraulic spreader to ensure that it is in good working condition, and constantly improve their operating skills is the key to the use of hydraulic spreader.
