Drive assembly
WATERAX offers an outstanding drive assembly that boosts the performance of pump ends. The
drive assembly increases the speed of pump revolutions resulting in increased pressure and volume. The
drive assembly is used with the WATERAX quick-release clamp to enable the coupling of the drive
assembly to the desired pump end.
MARK-3
®
The MARK-3® is known as the “heart of the suppression system.” Renowned in the
industry, the MARK-3® was first introduced in 1964 when WAJAX (as WATERAX
was known back then) coupled their patented 4-stage detachable pump end to
a 185cc 2-stroke engine. It quickly became the standard wildland portable fire
pump used by forestry agencies around the world. A truly outstanding and reliable
performer, the MARK-3® fire pump is designed to withstand the rigors of firefighting
and it is the core of most water delivery systems in wildland operations.
The MARK-3® successfully passed the USDA Forest Service 100-hour endurance
test at San Dimas and requalified under QPL-5100-274 as of August 2015.
It is considered to be an essential piece of equipment used by wildland firefighters
across North America and around the world.

MARK-3
®
WATERAX acquired the intellectual property and the rights to manufacture the
durable 185cc engine from ROTAX. We invested heavily in new tooling and major
improvements on key engine components in order to make the 185cc engine lighter
and more durable.
The new Nikasil-coated cylinder is the most significant upgrade on the MARK-3® in years. In addition, WATERAX has adjusted its recommended
fuel mix ratio to 50:1 synthetic.

Since 1964 when the MARK-3® was first introduced by WAJAX, after the 4-stage

performer, the MARK-3® fire pump is designed to withstand the rigors of firefighting and
it is the core of most water delivery systems in wildland operations.
Always the benchmark in terms of performance, reliability and durability, the MARK-3®
benefited from a series of improvements to its key components namely a Nikasil-coated
cylinder, an impregnated crankcase and a maintenance-free pump end.
The improved MARK-3® successfully passed the USDA Forest Service 100 hours
endurance test in San Dimas on 08/04/15 and has been requalified under QPL Number
274-001.
Applications
• Attack line firefighting • High pressure provides accuracy
• Long hose lay for remote watering in flow trajectory
during firefighting operations • Tandem pumping over long distances
• High elevation firefighting in • Parallel pumping for higher volumes

OVERSIZED PISTONS
* Note: Factory matched Nikasil cylinder and piston kit. Kit grade may be red or green.
WATERAX - GENUINE PARTS CATALOG 45
During engine top end repair, it is highly recommended to match the piston with the cylinder in order to obtain the correct
piston/cylinder clearance. To facilitate the matching process, a color scheme is used: red piston matches with red cylinder;
green piston matches with green cylinder. Each piston and cylinder grade has its unique item number.
For optimal engine performance, reliability and durability, it is very important to have the correct piston/cylinder clearance. A
clearance that is too tight can cause the piston to seize. An engine with a clearance that is too loose will generate less power,
more noise and may accelerate engine wear.
The piston/cylinder clearance is defined as the difference between the cylinder bore and the piston diameter. See the table
below for instructions on how to measure the cylinder bore and piston diameter:
To determine the cylinder bore, use a calibrated dial bore gauge and
measure the cylinder bore at a distance of 5 to 10 mm above the
exhaust port.
See image.
Notes:
Measurements should be taken in a temperature controlled room adjusted at 20 °C [68 °F].
Measuring instruments must be calibrated.
Depending on the type of cylinder (Nikasil coated or cast iron sleeve), the required clearance will vary:
0.06 - 0.08 mm
CAST IRON SLEEVE CYLINDER
0.0024 - 0.0031 in
0.04 - 0.06 mm
