Under what condition are personnel allowed to move the MWS apparatus before it stops to begin moving?

• A. When driving in daylight
• B. When loading hose back onto the MWS Apparatus
• C. When fueling at station
• D. When performing maintenance

Answer: (B)

The situation tested is when it’s permissible to move the MWS before it has come to a full stop. The only time you’re allowed to move the MWS prior to stopping is when you’re in the process of loading hose back onto the MWS apparatus. This task involves reclaiming and securing the hose reels, and a brief maneuver can help align and position the hoses for proper stowage while the crew completes this reloading sequence. Other conditions don’t justify moving the unit. Fueling, performing maintenance, or any situation that requires the vehicle to be safely parked and engines off must be done with the MWS stationary. Driving in daylight doesn’t inherently change this safety requirement; movement must align with active, approved tasks like replenishing and rehoisting hoses, not routine operation hours.
