Abstract
A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission coupled to the engine, a pumping system selectively coupled to the engine by the transmission, and a controller. The pumping system is configured to receive an inlet flow of water from a water source. The controller is configured to receive an indication regarding a pressure of the inlet flow of water and transmit a control signal to the transmission to change a gear of the transmission based on the indication regarding the pressure of the inlet flow of water.
