By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director
TRUCK PREPARATION
1. Has the truck been serviced and checked?
2. Has the pump system been checked? Pump Oil? Belts? PTO U - joints? Tires?
3. Are the truck fuel tank and the pump engine full before the event? How about the fuel can for the pump
engine (assuming non - PTO)?
4. Do you have a spare water hose, spray nozzle, hose washer, and 3" gasket on the truck?
5. Does the truck have basic supplies - enough to support two or three crew members working from it?
These include:
• Additional trash bucket or pair of tongs
• Broom
• Graffi ti cleaner
• New long and short handled brushes
• A spare wand is a good idea too. They
snap or become clogged; being able to
just switch to a new wand saves time.
6. Do you have a backup for the truck?
• Even if you only need one tr uck, how
close is your backup? The larger the
event and the greater the potential the
event has to have spikes in attendance
the greater your need to have a backup
truck waiting and on site.
SUPPLIES
1. How much toilet paper do you have available?
• Is it where it needs to be for the eve nt?
• Is it stored such that rain and weather won't be an issue?
2. Do you have enough paper towels for the hand wash stations?
3. Do you have adequate liquid and spray soap for hand wash stations?
4. Do you have extra locks?
5. Do you have spare parts?
• Door latches
• Toilet seats
• Nuts and bolts
• Toilet paper rods
