Given a fire department pumper with a multi-stage pump, you shall demonstrate the
operation of the volume/pressure transfer valve under actual pumping conditions. The skill will
end when you state to me that you have completed all the identified steps. Do you understand
these instructions?

The Driver/Operator will be given a condition that requires him/her to start in the series
or pressure position and then change over to the parallel or volume position. The Driver/Operator
will not be allowed to review the performance steps at the time of testing.
