Hale 4DK Series pumps are designed for handling fuel or demineralized water in the aircraft
service industry. Hale 4DK series pumps are
self-priming and driven primarily by a split-shaft
4DK series gearbox.
Models of 4DK pumps are as follows:
4DK:The 4DK pump has a 4” (102 mm)
Victaulic suction connection and one or two 4”
(102 mm) Victaulic discharge connections, facing
either the front or rear. This pump is available
with a 1:2.96 or 1:3.40 gearbox ratio for capacities of 600 GPM (2,271 LPM).
The 4DK-30 model pump is built to strict military
standards, and is equipped with a pneumatic shift
indicator switch.
4D6K: The 4D6K model pump is built for highperformance commercial applications. The
design of the 4D6K allows for quick field maintenance and serviceability. The pump has a 6”
(152 mm) Victaulic suction connection and a
front-facing 4” (102 mm) Victaulic discharge
connection. This pump offers 1:2.96 and 1:3.40
gearbox ratios for peak performance in capacities
of approximately 750 to 800 GPM (2,839to
3,028 LPM).
Both models are available with an optional
mechanical 10:1 tachometer drive mounted on
the pump shaft.
For an illustrated pump overview, see heading
4DK Series Overview, beginning on page 38.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
This section reviews the principles of operation of
Hale 4DK series pumps and provides a description of the pump component parts.
Centrifugal Force
Hale 4DK series pumps are self-priming
centrifugal pumps that operate on the principle of centrifugal force created by a rapidly
spinning disk. Figure 1 below shows that an
amount of fluid has been placed at the center
of a disk.
Figure 1: Centrifugal Force
The disk is rotated at some speed, and the
fluid is thrown from the center toward the
outer circumference of the disk. The velocity
at which the fluid travels from the center
directly relates to the diameter of the disk and
the speed of rotation.
When a fluid is confined in a closed container
(such as the pump body), the velocity is
converted to pressure and pressure rises to a
level that depends on the speed of rotation.
There are three interrelated factors that
regulate the performance of a centrifugal
pump:
❑SPEED (RPM) If the speed of rotation
increases with flow held constant, fluid
pressure increases.
❑PRESSURE Pressure is usually
measured in Pounds Per Square Inch
(PSI or BAR).
Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-07
Page 8
4DK Series Pumps
If pressure changes with speed held
constant, the flow, measured in gallons
per minute (GPM) or liters per minute
(LPM), changes inversely; that is, if
pressure increases, flow decreases.
❑FLOW Flow is usually measured in the
number of gallons of fluid per minute
(GPM or LPM) that a pump can deliver
when supplied from draft. If the pressure
is held constant, the flow increases with
an increase in the speed of rotation.
A centrifugal pump is preferred due to its
ability to fully utilize any positive suction inlet
pressure, reducing the amount of work done
by the pump. For example, if the required
discharge pressure is 120 PSI (8.3 BAR), and
the inlet pressure is 45 PSI (3.1 BAR), the
pump must only produce the difference in
pressure or 75 PSI (5.2 BAR). This contributes to low engine and pump speeds with
reduced maintenance. Decreased maintenance is aided by the fact a centrifugal pump
has few moving parts; such as the impeller,
shaft and seal.
Note: 4DK Series pumps are single stage
pumps, meaning there is a single impeller on
a common shaft.
As fluid is evacuated from the suction passage atmospheric pressure pushes the fluid
through the suction passage.
Generally, the pump consists of the following
major components:
❑Pump body
❑Impeller and Shaft Components
❑Gearbox
Self-Priming
The 4DK pumps can only self-prime if the
pump body is full of fluid. A recirculation
chamber and passage keeps the impeller eye
wet. This allows fluid to circulate inside the
pump providing the self-priming action.
CAUTION !
THE PUMP CANNOT SELF-PRIME AND WILL BE
DAMAGED IF RUN DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
OF TIME.
Pump Operation
As the impeller rotates the fluid moving
outward in the impeller creates a vacuum in
the suction eye allowing the pump to lift the
fluid into the volute (or body).

Figure 2: Impeller Operation
To develop the required volume and pressure,
the Hale 4DK series pump utilizes an impeller
with a single suction channel where fluid enters.
8Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-0
Page 9
4DK Series Pumps
The impeller develops discharge pressure
and directs the fluid to a single cut water and
then to the discharge opening.
The cut water is wedge-shaped and divides
the fluid between the volute and the pump
discharge. Figure 2: "Impeller Operation" on
page 8 shows the flow of fluid through the
Hale 4DK series pump.
Cavitation
Cavitation occurs when a centrifugal pump
is attempting to discharge more fluid than it
is receiving. When cavitation occurs,
bubbles are created under the vacuum,
near the eye of the impeller. Cavitation is
often referred to as “the pump running away
from the fluid supply.”
This means that the operator is trying to
pump more fluid out of the pump than is
going into the pump. The formation of
bubbles in the low pressure regions of the
impeller cause the impeller to "slip" in the
water since the impeller is designed to
move liquid, not the air in the bubbles.
The vacuum gauge is usually tapped into
the intake chamber several inches away
from the leading edge of the impeller eye
where the greatest amount of vacuum
occurs. The most common way to eliminate
cavitation is to decrease the amount of fluid
being discharged. This is accomplished by
decreasing engine speed or closing discharge valves.
This will allow pressure to increase, however this will result in a reduction of flow.
Cavitation can also be eliminated be increasing the pressure on the pump inlet.
This is accomplished with reduced vertical
lift, reduced inlet losses, or running from
positive pressure supplies.
Refueler pumps are generally gravity fed
from the tank, therefore cavitation is less of
an issue unless design limits are exceeded.
Reduced performance can be expected
when defueling aircraft due to the inlet
restrictions involved.
PUMP COMPONENTS
To eliminate cavitation, the operator must
be aware of the warning signs and immediately correct the situation or serious damage to the pump and impeller will occur.
The most reliable indication that a pump is
approaching cavitation is when an increase
in engine RPM does not cause an increase
in pump discharge pressure. A low barometer, high elevation, or elevated fluid temperature will also contribute to cavitation.
Pumps are rated at standard temperatures
and barometric pressures. When conditions
vary from standard, the maximum capacity
of the pump from draft can be affected.
The operator must not depend entirely on
the vacuum gauge (if one is installed in the
application) to indicate when a pump is
nearing cavitation.
The basic parts of a Hale 4DK series centrifugal
pump are briefly described as follows:
Pump Body
The pump body and related parts are constructed from aluminum.
The Hale 4DK series pump body is a single
piece. Service of the impeller, clearance
rings, and mechanical seal is accomplished
by removing the pump body. This can often
be accomplished without removing the entire
pump and gearbox assembly from the apparatus. Additionally, a minimum of piping need
be removed since the connections use
Victaulic type couplings.
Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-09
Page 10
4DK Series Pumps
The pump has a suction inlet on the front.
The incoming fluid is directed to the impeller
through the suction piping.
Impeller
A hard anodized aluminum impeller provides
velocity to the fluid. This part is mounted on a
shaft that is rotated by the gearbox. The fluid
enters the rotating impeller at the intake (or
eye), and is confined by the shrouds and the
impeller vanes to build pressure. The vanes
guide the fluid from the inlet to the discharge.
Vanes curve away from the direction of
rotation so the fluid moves toward the outer
edge. The shrouds form the sides of the
impeller and keep the fluid confined to centrifugal acceleration.
Figure 2 (on page 8) traces a drop of fluid
from the intake of the impeller to the discharge outlet. The impeller is mount-ed so
that the discharging tube is widest at the
pump outlet. The volute collects the
fluid.
A further increase in pressure and a
decrease in velocity take place in the
diffuser which is cast into the pump
body.
Stationary
Seat
Wear is due to foreign material found in most
fluids. Clearance rings are designed for
replacement as the clearance increases from
usage and wear.
If a pump is operated without fluid for extended periods or without discharging fluid, it
may overheat. This may damage the pump
and the drive mechanism. Fluid should be
circulated to prevent overheating.
Bearings
Bearings support and align the impeller shaft
for smooth operation.
Mechanical Seal
A mechanical seal is standard on 4DK series
pumps. As shown in Figure 3, a stationary
seat is in constant contact with a rotating
carbon seal ring face to prevent leakage.

pumps have clearance rings at the impeller

intake to prevent leakage. This is accomplished by limiting the radial clearance between the spinning impeller and the stationary
clearance ring.
The sealing boot is made of a rubber elastomer that is specifically designed for high
temperature operations.
A clearance ring usually has a radial clearance of about 0.0075” (0.2mm) or a 0.015”
PUMP DRIVES
(0.4mm) diametral clearance. However, the
clearance increases over time as the pump is
operated.
4DK Series pumps are operated from the truck
chassis drive shaft through a split-shaft gearbox.

4DK Series Pumps
The split shaft gearbox has a sliding collar that
selectively directs the engine power to the pump
or the apparatus drive axle.
The gearbox is capable of handling the required
engine horsepower, enabling the pump to meet
optimum performance levels as well as torque
requirements for over-the-road applications.
The gearbox consists of the housing, helical gear
set, and input and output shafts that are made of
heat-treated nickel steel.
This unit can withstand the full torque of the
engine in ROAD operating conditions up to
17,000 pound-feet (23.05 kN-m).
The 4DK series of pump gear boxes utilize
tapered roller bearings to support the shaft loads.
Special care must be taken to properly set the
clearances on these bearings.
Bearings must be replaced as matched sets with
shims. See Section 5 "Maintenance and Repair,"
beginning on page 21.
Shifting
The split-shaft gearbox is equipped with a
power shift system. An in-cab control valve is
provided for mode selection.
This control locks in place for pump operation.
An indicator switch is provided to alert the
operator when the gearbox has fully shifted
from ROAD to PUMP position.
Additionally, provisions are provided for
manual shift due to failure of the power shift
system. Different pump models utilize different indicating switches. Some indicator
switches are pneumatic while others are
electric dependent on which pump model is
selected and/or your operation requirements.

2. Bring the truck to a complete stop before
attempting to shift from ROAD to PUMP.
3. Apply the truck parking brake.
4. Shift the truck transmission to the
NEUTRAL position.
5. Move the in-cab pump shift control valve
from the ROAD position to the PUMP
position. Within a few seconds the shift
warning indicator lights, indicating a complete shift.
Note: If the truck manufacturer has used
another in-cab valve to achieve pump shift or
has an electric switch, follow the instructions
supplied with that valve.
6. After pump shift has completed, place the
truck transmission in the proper pump
operating range or gear.
Note that some vehicles drive the speedometer from the front wheel of the chassis.
In this case, the speedometer will not read
5 to 15 MPH after shifting to the PUMP
position. See the truck’s chassis manual
for details.
WARNING !
DO NOT LEAVE THE CAB OR ATTEMPT TO PUMP
UNTIL ALL THE GREEN PUMP LIGHTS IN THE
CAB AND PANEL ARE ON.
8. Exit the driving compartment only after all
the above steps are completed and you
are sure that the shift completed lights in
the cab and panel are on.
WARNING !
DO NOT OPEN THROTTLE UNLESS ALL GREEN
PUMP INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON.
9. Verify that the pump panel shift indicator
green “OK TO PUMP” light is on.
10. If necessary, open the suction valve to
allow fluid to flow into the pump.
11. If necessary to eliminate air pockets, open
appropriate valve to expel air or prime the
pump, if so equipped.
12. Note the discharge pressures and intake
pressures as applicable, then open the
engine throttle gradually until the master
discharge gauge indicates the desired
pressure.
For most operation conditions, this will be
direct drive (1:1) ratio. In addition, the
speedometer should read 5MPH to
15 MPH (8 -15 KMH) after the shift has
been completed.
7. If the shift does not complete, shift truck
transmission to “N” and repeat the entire
procedure.
13. Set the automatic relief valve or governor
control system according to your company
policy, if so equipped.
If the master intake gauge shows a high
vacuum before the desired discharge
pressure or flow is reached, it indicates
that you are getting all the fluid the suction
piping will supply.
12Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-0
Page 13
4DK Series Pumps
To increase the pressure when this occurs,
reduce the pump flow.
As the throttle is opened, the pressure
gauge reading increases with engine
speed. If the engine speed increases
without an increase in pressure, the pump
may be cavitating. In this case, close the
throttle slowly until the pressure begins to
stabilize and track with engine speed. If
this does not correct the problem you may
be trying to pump more capacity than is
available from the supply. Also check the
inlet strainers for possible debris restricting
the flow.
14. Open the discharge valve(s).
15. After completion of pumping, gradually
reduce the pump pressure until the engine
is at an idle speed.
2. Apply the truck parking brake and chock
the wheels.
3. Shift the truck transmission to the
NEUTRAL position.
4. For PUMP or ROAD position, put the incab shift control in the NEUTRAL position.
(Neutral position is exactly in the middle,
between the road and pump positions.)
5. Shut down the engine.
WARNING !
DO NOT ATTEMPT EMERGENCY SHIFT
PROCEDURES WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
6. Employ the manual override procedure at
the shift cylinder on the pump gearbox as
follows:
16. Verify that the operator’s hand throttle or
governor control has returned to idle
position.
17. Shift the truck transmission into the
NEUTRAL position, and wait about four
seconds. Check to make sure the speedometer reads “0.”
18. Move pump shift control valve lever to the
ROAD position. The in-cab and panel
pump indicator lights should go out when
the pump transmission starts to shift into
the ROAD position.
Emergency Pump Shift Procedures
Before implementing manual override shift
procedures, repeat recommended procedures
as described in the previous section. If the
shift fails to take place, follow these procedures.
1. Bring the truck to a complete stop.
Note: The shift stroke is approximately 1”
(25 mm). Make sure the gearbox is fully
shifted and shift indicators show proper mode.
7. An eyebolt is provided in the shift shaft to
accept a drift punch or screwdriver. By
inserting this tool into the hole provided,
you are able to pull or push the shaft
manually.
8. Pull the shift shaft OUT for PUMP position
(after in-cab control valve selection), or
push shift shaft IN for ROAD position (after
in-cab control valve selection).
If the shift stroke cannot be completed
manually, turn the drive shaft slightly by
hand to realign the internal gears and
repeat the manual shift effort.
9. Some units may be equipped with a
manual shift device attached to the eye
bolt. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when manual shift devices are
installed.

DRIVELINE ISSUES
Due to the increasing sophistication of fire apparatus and truck design, there has been an increase in the number of reported driveline problems. These problems include: drive shaft failure,
loosened drive ends on pump gearboxes, broken
mounting brackets, driveline joint or slider wear,
bearing wear on pumps or rear axles, and vibrations at specific road speeds. While the incidence of these problems is low, they are expensive to fix yet easy to avoid.
It is critical to use computer driveline analysis
software, such as Dana’s “The Expert,” during
driveline layout. Dana’s software is available free
on the World Wide Web at:
http://www2.dana.com/expert.
While using the software, make sure to perform
three separate driveline analyses:
Figure 22: 4DK Series Pump Installation
❑Rear drive shaft assembly
❑Total system
This ensures individual shaft cancellation and
correct phasing.
When performing calculations, strive to achieve
the lowest driveline torsional and inertial vibrations, making sure to avoid severe driveline
angles. Be conservative and always err on the
side of SAFETY. Always measure the drive shaft
after construction to make sure it matches the
computer design.
Remember the following points while designing a
driveline:
❑Problems can occur with our without

noticeable vibration.
Page 42
4DK Series Pumps
❑Suspension travel and torque wrap-up can
change a marginal driveline into one that is
unacceptable.
Always consider the full movement of the
driveline.
❑Center your driveline sliders and ensure they
have sufficient travel to allow for the entire
movement of the suspension.
❑Do not measure driveline angles using a
bubble protractor. Instead, use a digital
inclinometer.
Remember to zero the inclinometer on the
truck frame, not the ground.
❑Spilt-shaft drivelines inherently have yoke
phasing that can change with every shift.
This is one reason to design the other
aspects of the driveline more conserv-atively
than a "non-split shaft" truck driveline.
Long drivelines can lead to component vibration
or failure. As the driveline approaches half
critical speed, a vibration will occur that can
damage driveline components.
The 4DK pump is provided with a 4” Victaulic
suction connection and a 4” Victaulic oppositesuction-side discharge connection.
Figure 23: "Maximum Recommended Drive
Lengths," in the next column, lists the maximum
driveline length using a safety factor of 42% of
critical speed. This table is based on a 0.134”
(3.4mm) wall thickness. Although wall thickness
does not have a significant effect on drive shaft
length for this calculation, it does have some
effect.
Extremely short drive lengths between the pump
and the rear axle can also cause problems from
excessive operating angles when the suspension
articulates. Use caution and conservative design
values when utilizing air ride suspension and
short rear drivelines.
More information on fire apparatus drivelines can
be found in Hale OEM Technical Bulletin # 957.
For application assistance and approval, contact
a driveline equipment manufacturer, such as
Spicer/Dana or Merritor.
An optional 4” Victaulic suction-side discharge
connection is also available.
4DK6 Pump
The 4DK6 pump is provided with a 6” Victaulic
suction connection and a 4” Victaulic oppositesuction-side discharge connection.
An optional 4” Victaulic suction-side discharge
connection is also available.

APPENDIX A GLOSSARY
Atmospheric ........ Pressure caused by the elevation of air above the earth. Air pressure is 14 pounds
Pressureper square inch at sea level. Pressure increases below sea level and decreases
above sea level. The weather also effects air pressure. Atmospheric pressure
effects a pumps ability to pump from draft. Higher pressures increases a pumps
performance, while lower pressures can cause a noticeable decrease in lift.
Auxiliary............... Permits water from a pump to cool the radiator water through a heat exchange.
Cooling Valve
Capacity .............. Pump flow rating.
Cavitation ............ Occurs when the pump attempts to deliver more fluid than is being supplied. This
causes the formation of bubbles in the pump. When the bubbles collapse, the liquid,
under pressure, rushes in to fill the empty space. This damages the pump and must
be corrected immediately.
Centrifugal ...........Force that tends to make rotating bodies move away from the center of rotation.
Force
Centrifugal ...........A pump that uses a rapidly spinning disk or impeller to create the pressure for fluid
Pumpmovement.
Certification ......... Pumper test in accordance with NFPA standards to determine if a pump can deliver
its rated volume and pressure.
Check valve ........ A one-way valve or non-return valve that allows flow in one direction, but shifts to
prevent flow in the reverse direction.
In two stage pumps, there are two swing check or flap valves in the suction passage
of the second stage. They are located in each side of the pump between the suction
tube and the pump body. These valves swing open when pumping in parallel for
volume. They are closed by first stage pressure when pumping in series for
pressure.
Clearance ............Prevents discharge fluid from returning to the eye of the impeller.
Rings
Compound........... A compound gauge is graduated to read pressure in "pounds per square inch" and
Gauge"vacuum in inches of mercury."
Cut Water ............ Cut water is a wedge-shaped point between the volute (pump body) and the pump
discharge where the volume of fluid is directed to the victaulic discharge connection.
Dead Heading ..... Operating a pump without any discharge. The lack of flow causes temperatures to
rise inside the pump. See WARNING ! on next page (1-16).
Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-043
Page 44
4DK Series Pumps
WARNING !
IF A PUMP IS OPERATED WITHOUT WATER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS,
OR WITHOUT DISCHARGING WATER, IT MAY OVERHEAT. THIS COULD
DAMAGE THE MECHANICAL SEAL OR THE DRIVE MECHANISM.
Double Suction ....Fluid enters on both sides of the impeller.
Impeller
Dry Prime Test ....Provides information on the ability of a priming pump to evacuate air from the main
pump. If the vacuum does not hold, it is an indication there is a leak in the system.
Eye, Impeller ....... Point where fluid enters the impeller.
Flow Meter .......... Measures the volume of fluid that is flowing.
Friction Loss ........Loss of pressure in hose, fittings, standpipes, and other appliances because of the
resistance between the fluid molecules and the inside surfaces of the hoses, fittings,
standpipes, piping, and other appliances.
Front-Mount ........ Pump mounted ahead of the vehicle’s engine – usually on the front of the radiator.
Pump
Gauge ................. Pressure read from a gauge (PSIG).
Pressure
Governor .............Minimizes pressure changes by controlling engine speed to maintain pump
discharge pressure.
Horsepower .........A measure of mechanical work.
Impeller ............... The working part of a centrifugal pump that, when rotating, imparts energy to fluid.
Essentially, an impeller consists of two disks separated by vanes. The vanes force
the fluid to move outward between the disks so that it is thrown outward at high
velocity by centrifugal force. The water from the impeller discharges into a diverging
passage known as a volute, converting the high velocity energy of the water into
pressure.
Net Pump ............ The difference in pressure between discharge and suction pressure.
Pressure
Packing ............... Material that maintains an airtight seal at the point where the impeller shaft enters
and exits the pump body.
Parallel ................ Capacity position in which each impeller on a two-stage pump works independently
into the discharge – often termed "Volume Mode."
Pitot Gauge ......... Measures velocity head at the discharge of a nozzle and can be converted to flow
using a chart or simple calculation.
Positive................ A pump with a fixed flow delivered to the discharge with each revolution.
Power Valve ........A valve that uses hydraulic pressure to transfer two-stage pump operation from
volume mode to pressure mode, and vice versa
Pressure ..............Force per unit area.
Pressure ..............The pressure gauge is usually graduated in pounds per square inch (PSI) only. It is
Gaugeconnected to the pump discharge manifold, thus indicating pump discharge
pressure.
Priming ................ Priming evacuates the air from the main pump and suction hose, thus creating a
vacuum. This allows atmospheric pressure on the source of the fluid to push the
fluid up into the suction hose and pump.
Priming Pump...... An auxiliary positive displacement pump which pumps air out of the booster pump
that creating a vacuum to prime the main pump. The priming pump is a rotary vane
type, electric motor driven. Once the main pump is primed and pumping, the priming
pump is shut off.
Priming Pump...... A valve located in the priming line between the priming pump and the main pump.
ValveIt remains closed at all times except when priming. The control is normally located
on the pump panel.
Pump Shift ........... A midship pump is usually mounted with a split gearbox installed in the drive shaft.
The pump shift moves a sliding gear in the gearbox that transmits power either to the
pump or the rear axle. In ROAD position, power is shifted to the rear axle for driving;
in PUMP position, the rear axle is disconnected, and power is shifted to the pump
shaft.
Relay ................... Movement of water from an apparatus at a water source to additional apparatus until
water reaches the fire ground.
Relief Valve .........An automatic valve which, when activated by the relief valve control, will hold pump
pressure steady when discharge valves or shut-off nozzles are closed. The valve
maintains its given pressure by dumping the pump discharge flow into the pump
suction.
Relief Valve .........A handwheel adjustment valve which controls and/ or adjusts the relief valve to
Control (PM)maintain the working pressure (i.e., set to control the desired pressure).
Series ..................Pressure position in which the first impeller’s discharge is fed to the eye of the
second impeller in a two-stage pump which then discharges the fluid from the pump.
Service Test ........ Pump test performed to determine if the apparatus can deliver its rated volume and
pressure.
Shrouds ............... Sides of an impeller that confine the fluid.
Slinger Ring......... Prevents fluid from continuing to travel down a shaft to the gears and ball bearings.
Manual p/n: 029-0020-79-045
Page 46
4DK Series Pumps
Stages .................The number of impellers in a pump that are used in series; that is, one following
another in terms of flow. Each impeller develops part of the total pump pressure.
Tachometer ......... Indicates the speed of the engine crankshaft in revolutions per minute.
Torque .................The force that acts to produce rotation.
Transfer Valve .....A two-position valve in a pump that changes the operation from parallel (volume) to
series(pressure) operation and vice versa (not used on single stage pumps).
Vanes ..................Guides inside an impeller that direct fluid to the volute (pump body).
Volute ..................A gradually increasing discharge waterway. Its function is to collect the water from
the impeller and, depending on its design, it either increases pressure and
decreases velocity or increases velocity and decreases pressure.
Water .................. Amount of energy in the water stream.
Horsepower
Wear Rings ......... See Clearance rings.
