Inspection & Setup
Inspection & Setup
Your “Express” Water Wagon, Fire Control Trailer, and
Arena Express Water Wagon is delivered ready for
operation. However, it is suggested that you check fas-
teners for tightness such as lug nuts. Check the motor
to assure that it has the proper oil level (see the motor
operator’s manual for details). Make a visual inspection
to assure that nothing was damaged in shipping. Report
any problems to your dealer or to Wylie Mfg.
Attaching To Pickup
“Express” Water Wagon & Fire Control Trailer
The 500 gallon trailer is equipped with a 2” hitch while the
800, 1,025, and 1,600 gallon trailers are equipped with a
2 5/16” hitch. Make sure that the pickup or tractor has the
proper ball. Engage the locking trigger and rotate the hitch
lock to open the hitch. Lower the hitch on the ball. Close
the hitch by rotating the hitch lock until it locks in place.
Attach the safety chains and plug in the lights. DOT
regulations require that the safety chains cross as
they are attached. Surge and electric brake trailers
have an emergency brake cable that activates the trailer
brakes if the trailer becomes unhitched from the pickup
while travelling. Hook the brake cable to the safety chain
eyelet.
Figure A1

Figure A2
Remove Hitch To Prevent Theft
Check to make sure that the ball and hitch are the
same size. Attaching a 2 5/16” hitch to a 2” ball
could allow the trailer to become unhitched during
transport resulting in serious bodily injury.
The “Express” Water Wagon is equipped with a height
adjustable hitch. Remove the bolts and move the hitch so
that the trailer will travel level when the tank is full.
The bolted hitch can be removed to help prevent theft of
the trailer.
Arena Express Water Wagon
The Arena Express Water Wagon is equipped with a clevis
style hitch. The hitch can be removed to help prevent theft.
The Arena trailer is a non-DOT approved trailer. It is not
equipped with brakes or lights.

Operation -- “Express” Water Wagon
The “Express” Water Wagon features a suction and
discharge manifold. The suction manifold contains the
valves and ttings for lling the tank, supplying the pump
and a gravity feed faucet. The discharge manifold has
valves controlling the bypass, re hose, pressure hose
and spray bar.

Filling The Tank
The water tank on the “Express” Water Wagon can be
lled by three means: (1) through the anti-siphon ll tube
(2) drawing water through the pump (3) through the quick-
ll tting.
To ll the tank through the anti-siphon ll, remove the
tank lid, couple the ll hose to the anti-siphon coupler
and turn the water source on as shown in Figure B3. A
re hydrant adapter is provided that couples to the end
of the ll hose.
If the tank is to be lled through the quick-ll tting, couple
the hose to the quick-ll coupler as shown in Figure B4.
Open the main tank valve, then open the water source.

Figure B5
Filling Trailer From Tank
In order to ll the tank with the transfer pump as shown
in Figure B5, close the main tank valve and attach the ll
hose to the suction manifold quick-ll coupler. Open the
bypass valve on the discharge manifold. Set the end of the
ll hose in the pond, tank or other water source with the
suction screen coupled to the end of the hose. See Figure
B5. Be sure that the suction hose bibb is closed. A partially
open hose bibb will let air into the suction manifold, causing
cavitation in the pump and not build pressure.
Start the engine to pump water from the water source to the
tank. If this is the rst time to use the pump, it may be neces-
sary to pour water in the top of the pump to prime it. Once
the pump has water in it, it is self-priming thereafter.
Bypass Valve
The bypass valve is located on the discharge manifold and
is useful for lling the tank through the pump, circulating
water through the tank when the pump is turned on but no
water is being discharged, and mixing any chemicals that
are added to the water.
Figure B6
Open Bypass Valve

Spray Bar
The Spray Bar is controlled by the spray bar valve. Open
the main tank valve and close the bypass valve.
Start the engine and increase to full throttle. Open the spray
bar valve. Use the pickup speed to control the rate that
water is applied. The amount of water owing through the
spray bar can be controlled by partially closing the spray
bar valve or slightly opening the bypass valve. Do not close
the main tank valve. Pump damage can result.
The spray bar covers a maximum swath of 25’. Common
uses include controlling dust on roads and parking lots,
compacting roads and building sites.
Fire Hose
The 25’ re hose couples to the re hose valve on either
side of the trailer. Remove the re hose coupler cap and
quick couple the re hose. Open the main tank valve,
close the bypass and spray bar valves. Open the re hose
valve on the side that the hose is attached. The re nozzle
adjusts from wide spray to straight stream by rotating the
body of the nozzle.
