A short conversational transcript about problems encountered with a hydro seating fire-truck (a hydro seater) acquired recently. Speakers discuss mechanical and mounting issues: clogged hose, hose mounting too low causing contact with tires, resulting in tire damage; the vehicle is described as from the 1980s.
This is the most fire, no pun intended, hydro seating truck ever.
I know. I just got it two weeks ago. I took it out yesterday for the first time and had a terrible day and it made me want to quit my entire business, so. Really? Yeah. I had the hose clogged up three different times. I had to take the hose all apart. The way it's mounted, it's not tall enough. So as soon as I put water in it, you can tell on the other side. I was contacting the tires with the hydro seater. So there's. I took chunks out of the tires. It's pretty old, too. Yeah, it's an 80. 1980 something.
This is 1980.
Yeah. But, yeah, you can see I was taking chunks out of the tires there because every time it would go over a bump, it would come down on the tires. So, yeah, I cut this out. Yeah. Either that or I was going to try to probably. I was going to take it to a fab shop and have them build a. Like a bigger spacer there.
