1. Consult the Official Manual and Training
Operation Manual: Every Chengli fire truck is supplied with a complete set of manuals and documents, including the operational and maintenance guides. This is the only definitive source for proper and safe operation.
Training: Fire truck operators are typically required to be specially trained and qualified. If you are a user or owner, ensure that all operating personnel receive hands-on training for the specific Chengli model they will use.

While specific controls differ, fire truck operation generally involves these systems:
Vehicle Driving and Safety:
Standard truck operation (driving, braking, steering).
Understanding the vehicle's size, weight (especially when fully loaded with water/foam), and maneuverability.
Activating emergency lights and sirens.
Engaging the Power Take-Off (PTO) to power the fire pump or other equipment.
The Fire Pump System:
Engaging the Pump: Activating the PTO and switching the pump control system on.
Water Source:
Drafting from an external source (like a pond or hydrant) using suction hoses and the pump priming system.
Supplying water from the on-board tank.
Controlling Discharge: Monitoring and adjusting water/foam pressure and flow to the various outlets (hoselines, monitors).
Foam System (if applicable): Operating the foam proportioner to mix foam concentrate with water.
Water/Foam Monitor (Cannon):
Controls for aiming the water cannon (horizontal and vertical angle). Some models, like fire-fighting robots, have computerized or handheld remote controls for precise movement.
