hale valve`s trouble

Sorry for my english, I`m a french canadian firefighter.

Did you have any problems with your Hale pump ?

I have an American Lafrance with a hale Qflo pump. I have some problems with some valves. They are always hard to open or they don`t open. They are stuck in close position.

Yes.. we have had a lot of trouble with the air shifts and they vibrate more than the Waterous pumps. The fluidless primer pumps are very poor.
