S/FLM-114 FLEET MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS UPDATED

6/30/2017

HOURS All personnel of Maintenance Services of the Oklahoma City Fire Department are straight day personnel. They work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The normal lunch hour schedule is 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. There is a Duty Mechanic on call at all times. Maintenance Services is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DUTY MECHANIC When you are the Duty Mechanic, the decisions you make reflect directly upon the Maintenance Services employees. You should keep in mind that the safety of firefighters operating the apparatus may depend on the actions you have taken. The Duty Mechanic will stand call from Monday 7:00 a.m. to the following Monday 7:00 a.m.

The Duty Mechanic is responsible to stand call for the week assigned. The mechanic may trade the week with another person if both agree on the trade and the Battalion Chief approves it. Exceptions will be made due to sickness, death in family, etc.

Vacations will be planned around one’s call week as well as exchange time. The Duty Mechanic will maintain cleanliness of the call truck. Time will be provided each

Monday for this to be performed by the mechanic going off call, unless the daily schedule doesn’t allow enough time, which will be decided by the supervisor.

When called to a fire station report to the station officer to be logged into the logbook. During the call week if the Duty Mechanic encounters departmental problems and/or is unsure

about a mechanical problem, notify the supervisor. If the Duty Mechanic feels additional personnel are needed for assistance, notify the Unit

Operations Supervisor. If called to an incident, the mechanic must report to the command post and report to the

Incident Commander. Use proper radio procedures.

S/FLM-201 NEW & ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT UPDATED

7/1/2004

If a modification needs to be performed on an apparatus, all three station officers from the station making the request must sign the request. In addition, all three District Officers of the respective district must also sign the request. The request is then forwarded to the Deputy Chief of Operations for review. If approved by the Deputy Chief of Operations, it is submitted to the maintenance facility for approval by the Unit Operations Supervisor. The Unit Operations Supervisor will notify the respective District Officer of the approval or denial, and if approved, when the request can be completed.

S/FLM-202 FUEL & FLUID RECORDS UPDATED

6/30/2017

Fuel recording procedures will be developed as the new fuel management is implemented.

Each station shall keep a log of motor oil and transmission fluid received and dispensed (see Attachment 1). Whenever fuel, motor oil or transmission fluid is received or dispensed, it shall be entered on the appropriate log sheet. A running total shall be kept on the station log for oil and transmission fluid. It is the Station Officer's responsibility to verify the balances are correct. Each morning at 7:00 a.m., the Station Officer shall make an entry in the station log indicating they agree with the balances listed on the fuel and fluid log sheets. Stations will submit fuel readings via Target Solutions no later than 9:00 AM each day.



The below items are only to be followed if Station FuelMaster System is operating in manual mode. The Station Officer will complete a Monthly Fuel Summary (see Attachment 2) for each tank. This summary will help the stations verify the calculated balance on the log sheet and simplify the fuel reconciliation. If the calculated total is greater than the ending stick reading, the tank is short. If the calculated reading is less than the stick reading, the tank is long. The monthly fuel summary should be turned in along with the monthly log sheets.

It is the District Officer's responsibility to make sure cards for motor oil, transmission fluid logs, and summary sheets for their district are turned in by the fifth of the month to Maintenance Services.

Maintenance Y Y FUELMASTER OPERATIONS Verified Miscellaneous Number (VMN) systems have a ProKee® encoded with a Vehicle ID to access Fueling and requires that a verified User ID (in most cases, the User’s KRONOS Number) be entered by the user prior to authorization. Vehicle Key systems are designed to provide accurate fueling records as they relate to the activities of a particular vehicle. Each ProKee® is assigned to a specific vehicle and monitors that vehicle’s odometer reading and fuel consumption. If you lose the ProKee® assigned to the vehicle, notify Fire Maintenance immediately so that key can be locked out of the FuelMaster system and a newly encoded key can be issued.

Fuel Management Unit (FMU) Operations You will need to know three things prior to fueling your vehicle: your User ID the current odometer reading the type of fuel (1=Diesel Hose; 2=Unleaded Hose)

Before exiting the vehicle take note of the vehicle’s current meter reading. You’ll need this information prior to fueling.

The FMU (Fuel Management Unit) screen displays the following prompt:

** FuelMaster FUELS ACCOUNTING SYSTEM **

** INSERT KEY, HOLD 1 SECOND TO BEGIN **



This message indicates that the FMU is available for use. Insert the ProKee® into the ProKee® receptacle. Press it in and hold it there until the display screen on the FMU changes to the next prompt (approximately one second). The next prompt looks like this:

This prompt requires entry of a USER ID. This is your City Employee Number. Once the USER ID is entered on the FMU keypad, press the ENTER/YES key to receive the next prompt. USER ID entry is verified against an authorization list stored in the FMU. If the entry is invalid, a total of 5 attempts to enter a valid USER ID are afforded the user. Upon failure to enter a valid USER ID, an error message is sent to the on-site printer stating that an invalid user id was entered and the process begins again. This method requires entry of an authorized number and allows these numbers to be locked out (de-authorized). The ODOMETER/CHRONOMETER option is enabled for this Vehicle Key, so the following prompt will appear:

Enter the miles or hours (without tenths) on the FMU keypad. Once entered, press ENTER/YES on the keypad. The FMU compares the previous meter reading written on the ProKee to the entry just entered into the FMU. There are two error messages that might be displayed if there is a discrepancy in the previous and new meter readings. This error message below indicates that the entry made is lower than the entry that was written to the key during the previous fueling transaction on this vehicle.

This error message indicates that the entry has an elapsed miles or hours value that is greater than the MILES/HOURS range encoded on the key.

If a Chrono/Odometer error occurs, one of the following may have occurred: The miles/hours range on the key was too low to begin with, as in the case of the ProKee’s first use. Tenths of miles are being entered when only whole miles should be entered. The last time the key was used, the miles/hours were not written back to the key. The entry was incorrect and not confirmed before pressing the ENTER/YES key on the keypad. The entry is correct but the vehicle’s last fueling was off-site causing the miles/hours range to be exceeded.

***** FUELMASTER *****

ENTER USER ID --->


ENTER CHRONO/ODOMETER --->


ODOMETER TOO LOW! PLEASE TRY AGAIN.


ODOMETER TOO HIGH! PLEASE TRY AGAIN.



When either of the previous error messages occur, the user is required to re-enter the miles or hours. The standard FMU accepts the user’s second mile/hour entry, regardless of accuracy.

Once the odometer reading has been entered, the following screen will be displayed.

The following message indicates that the miles/hours entered was accepted and the FMU wishes to write the entry back to the key. Insert the Vehicle Key and hold it in. Note: The following display is quickly displayed notifying the user that the entry is being written to the key:

After all the required entries have been made, the following hose selection display appears:

The choices presented in this prompt are limited to the hoses that have the same product code(s) as those authorized for the Vehicle Key. Select the hose and press ENTER/YES.’ Remember to select 1 for Diesel and 2 for Unleaded.

Once a hose is selected, one of the following messages will appear:

OR

When the FMU detects that the pump handle has been turned on, it responds with the above message and is ready to track fueling.

If the following prompt appears, the pump handle selected was already in the ‘ON’ position at the time this handle was selected. To begin fueling with this pump, first reset the pump handle to the ‘OFF’ position and wait for the prompt to turn it on to begin fueling.

S/FLM-203 EMERGENCY REPAIRS UPDATED

6/1/2016

AFTER-HOURS EMERGENCY REPAIRS From 4:00 p.m. Monday to 7:00 a.m. the following Monday (seven days), the Duty Mechanic drives a shop service pickup truck to and from his residence and carries tools or equipment necessary to perform emergency repairs after 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays the Duty Mechanic may remain at their residence when they are not needed. If Duty Mechanic cannot make repairs within a two-hour period, the mechanic will determine if the apparatus should be traded out. When after hour emergency repairs are needed, the company officer shall notify their District Officer for approval. Once approved, that company officer notifies the Fire Dispatch of repairs needed, gives the Fire Dispatch as much information as possible so they can give the information to the Duty Mechanic. Duty Mechanic should not be called out after hours or weekends to repair, such items as one headlight out, one or two warning lights out, these types of repairs can wait until the next work day. If more information is needed, the Duty Mechanic will call that station. Station personnel, including the District Officer, shall not personally call the Duty Mechanic at home. The Dispatch Office will notify and give details of the problem to the Duty Mechanic. If the Duty Mechanic needs additional information, they will contact the apparatus Company Officer. Procedures For After Hours Duty Mechanic An identified procedure must be established to adequately track the time worked by the Duty Mechanic. According to departmental SOP’s, the Duty Mechanic will be contacted by Fire Dispatch by telephone of any emergency repair required. The time of the telephone call is recorded on the voice recorder. That time will be the official notification time. If the mechanic is required to leave their residence, they must respond immediately.



Call Time The designated employee starts “on call”, answering all calls during and after normal working hours, including Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays. The Duty Mechanic will receive 32 hours compensation time for the call week. It will be taken immediately after the call week ends. If a holiday falls during the call week, the duty mechanic will receive one additional day for that holiday. If a holiday falls during the compensatory time, the mechanic will receive one day off for each holiday in addition to the 32 hours compensation time. If an employee works over 21.0 hours during the call week, the employee will receive additional compensation time at the rate of time and a half, in addition to the 32 hours. Example: The employee works the normal workweek of forty hours with an additional 30 hours of “call

time”, the employee will receive the standard 32 hours of compensation time off plus an additional 9 hours of compensation time at the rate of time and a half.

In the event an employee who is not “on call” is called in after the normal working hours, the employee will receive time and a half compensation time for that time worked. If problems are resolved over the telephone, compensation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In the event the Unit Operations Supervisor deems the operational demands on the section requires additional manpower the outgoing on call mechanic may be require to work on normally scheduled compensation days. If this occurs the mechanic will be paid straight overtime pay for each hour worked on top of normal hourly wage. DAY EMERGENCY REPAIRS Essential repairs to equipment This type of service includes any item determined by the Company Officer as necessary for the day-to-day operation of the department, such as equipment breakdown or malfunction that would render it unserviceable. This type of situation shall be handled by calling Maintenance Services. The Field Operation Supervisor or designee will input the information into the Fleet Focus Maintenance Program to generate a work request. The Company Officer will need to have the following information for the Supervisor, CID#, mileage and a brief description of problem.

S/FLM-204 NON-EMERGENCY WORK REQUESTS UPDATED

6/30/2017

These shall be reported by means of Work Requests on Fireweb. When the work requests are entered, the following information is needed for record keeping in permanent files: see attached work order example, Attachment 1. Any equipment brought to Maintenance Services for repairs will only be brought in on orders of the supervisor. The apparatus driver will park the apparatus outside and contact the supervisor to consult with them on the nature of the problem. If the job completion requires more than two hours, the supervisor will at their discretion, re-schedule the work or assign a piece of reserve apparatus. While the repairs are being made, firefighting personnel will leave the shop floor. The apparatus driver should remain available for consultation or to assist the mechanic. Once scheduled in for repairs and given a time, make every effort to meet that appointment, as the mechanics are on a schedule. If you are unable to keep the scheduled appointment, notify the supervisor, they can schedule other apparatus in need of repairs. DO NOT call the mechanics at Maintenance Services to report trouble calls. If a call is of a non-emergency nature, please leave your name and telephone number with the secretary, the mechanic will return your call. Request for repairs other than apparatus repairs, such as SCBA, should be submitted on a separate work order.

S/FLM-205 APPARATUS DAILY CHECK UPDATED

6/30/2017

It is the apparatus operator's responsibility to insure their equipment is operable when they relieve the other apparatus operator on or before 7:00 a.m.

No employee shall operate any internal combustion engine inside the apparatus bay unless vehicle exhaust hose is attached to the end of the exhaust pipe and in proper working position.

No apparatus will be started unless the driver is seated in the driver's seat and wheels chocked. Sirens and air horns will not be tested simultaneously in order to prevent hearing damage.

When starting apparatus for daily apparatus check, all lights and accessories should be turned off and unplugged from the shore line/AC power, pulled out on the apron. After apparatus daily checks are complete the engine should be throttled up 1000 to 1200 rpm for at least five (5) minutes to allow the batteries to charge.



CHECK LIST 1. Oil, Transmission, and coolant levels 2. Fuel level above ¾ tank 3. Booster Tank Water (If Applicable) 4. Operation of pump and/or aerial device 5. Primer motors and/or EPU aerial device 6. Bleed Air Tanks (if applicable) 7. Tire Pressure of all tires (within 5 PSI of

recommendation on vehicle data plate 8. Tire Tread Depth (1st and 15th of each month) 9. Lights (including emergency and headlights

turn, etc.) 10. Siren, air horns, and safety features (if

applicable)

11. Check all water drain valves, intake and discharge valves

When returning from a ride, before the apparatus is backed into the fire station, all lights and accessories should be turned off. Engine should be throttled up 1000 to 1200 rpm for at least five (5) minutes to allow the batteries to charge and allow engine to cool down. Once apparatus is backed in the station, the shore line/AC should be plugged into the onboard charger.

DO NOT START APPARATUS WITH ALL EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON.

S/FLM-206 SCBA & RESUSCITATOR REPAIRS UPDATED

6/30/2017

When SCBAs need repair, a work order should include all serial numbers, and complete unit should be sent to the Breathing Air Shop. (See example, Attachment 1) Checking the pressures in oxygen cascade should be performed on Monday and Thursday of each week. The readings should be submitted via the appropriate Target Solutions fillable form. Attachment 1 - Breathing Air & Oxygen Form

S/FLM-207 TIRE CABLES / CHAINS UPDATED

6/30/2017

1. Lay tire cables out directly in front of, or rear of, drive wheels. Carefully inspect each cable and remove any twists in the cross cable. Driving on cables with twisted links causes the majority of prematurely broken cross cables. Make sure cross cable hooks are facing outward (curved portion of hook faces away from tire sidewall).

2. Drive vehicle onto cables, or jack up wheels and place extended cables under tires. Connect side cable end hooks to that link of side cable that provides tightest fit. (Always connect the inside speed hook first.)

3. Tie back with wire any extra side chain to avoid damage to fenders. 4. Do not exceed 30 mph when driving on tire cables. Cable wear is in direct proportion to speed driven.



5. After each run, retighten side cables. There will be some slack that will cause fast wear and cross cable breakage unless tightened.

6. When accelerating, start slowly to avoid spinning the wheels. 7. Do not drive on bare pavement unless absolutely necessary, and only at a minimum speed. 8. Repair of broken or worn chains: Due to the numerous calls for repair of tire cables during icy road

conditions, it is impossible for the Maintenance Center to send a mechanic to the stations immediately to pick up damaged tire cables. Therefore, if you need tire cables repaired, make arrangements for your district officer to bring them to the Maintenance Center for repair or call the Maintenance Center, and make arrangements with the shop foreman to have tire cables picked up and repaired.

Engaging Automatic Chains Automatic chains work best when engaged while moving, and before slippage occurs. The automatic chains may be disengaged at any time. When approaching an icy grade and you don’t have the automatic chains engaged, slow down to 25 mph and engage the automatic chains. Then slowly regain and maintain your speed. For maximum efficiency while using the automatic chains, maintain a minimum speed of 5 mph. The automatic chains should be engaged between 5 and 25 mph. If you need to engage the automatic

chains from a standstill, spin the tires 5 mph before engaging the automatic chains. This will prevent the automatic chains from becoming tangled. Do not spin the tires too fast; this will increase the time it takes to gain traction.

Do Not exceed 30 mph with the automatic chains engaged. When climbing a hill with the automatic chains, try to maintain your momentum, this will improve the

performance of the automatic chains. For best results while moving, accelerate slowly; spinning the wheels will result in a loss of traction. While using the automatic chains in reverse, the automatic chains will work best at speeds above 7-10

mph. The automatic cable system is not as effective when snow depths exceed 6”- 8” Braking and Stopping When stopping on snowy or icy roads, engage the chains before stopping to increase traction, and to increase traction when restarting. Avoid locking the brakes while braking under any conditions. After stopping, start moving slowly to increase traction, do not spin the tires.

S/FLM-208 TOWING OF FIRE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES UPDATED

6/1/2016

All towing and wrecker services are only to be provided by providers that are contracted to perform wrecking and towing services under City contract. The only persons who have the authority to authorize the use of a private owned wrecker or other towing equipment are the Fire Chief, Deputy Chiefs, and the Unit Operations Supervisor.

The only exception to the above paragraph is when the disabled apparatus is in danger of further damage by fire or floodwater, then a District Officer or Company Officer can authorize the use of any towing equipment available.

The procedure for calling out a wrecker is to radio the fire department dispatcher, give them the location of the disabled apparatus and a brief description of the problem. The dispatcher will then notify the duty mechanic of the disabled apparatus' needs and the duty mechanic will respond according to established maintenance center guidelines.



The responsibility of towing or pulling of apparatus is with the wrecker driver. The wrecker driver will attach or supervise the hook-up of the apparatus, if a problem arises, the wrecker driver or Company Officer will contact that District Officer or Unit Operations Supervisor.

If you are more than 100' off a hard surface road, ask for a 4-wheel wrecker.

DISABLED VEHICLE PROCEDURES 1. Notify the IC (Incident Commander) which vehicle is stuck, its location, and the condition of the

disabled vehicle and the IC will determine if a Brush Pumper will be used to assist the stuck vehicle. 2. Only attempt to pull vehicles that are lightly stuck. Do not attempt to pull vehicles that are stuck

up to the axles. 3. Brush Pumpers may only assist other Brush Pumpers that are stuck. 4. One person should be used to spot the vehicles during the procedure. This is the only person

who will give instructions to the drivers of either vehicle. 5. The stuck vehicle should empty its water tank before an attempt is made to free it and only if

there is not a fire danger present. Run fill hose away from vehicle to drain or pump the tank dry using the booster line or the 1 ¾” hose.

6. When the attempt is made to pull the stuck vehicle, do not unnecessarily increase the RPM’s of the engines or spin the tires.

7. If at all possible the vehicle that is assisting the stuck vehicle should pull in a forward direction. 8. Pull in a straight line with the stuck vehicle. Do not pull from the side. 9. Hook the chain to either the front tow hooks or the trailer hitch of the disabled vehicle and to the

trailer hitch of the vehicle that is doing the pulling. 10. Place both vehicles in Low four-wheel drive. 11. Take up the slack in the chain before pulling. 12. Do not jerk the disabled vehicle when pulling. A steady even pull is best. 13. The driver of the stuck vehicle should steer with the ruts, not against them. 14. Upon freeing the stuck vehicle, continue to pull it to solid ground before stopping. 15. If both vehicles become stuck, call for a wrecker. Do not call for another Brush Pumper.

S/FLM-209 LIGHTING ON FIRE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES UPDATED

7/1/2012

Due to a high increase in electrical problems on the fire department vehicles, caused by the addition of lights and other electrical equipment by fire department personnel, no lights or electric equipment shall be added to the fire department vehicles unless approved by the Unit Operations Supervisor.

Failure to comply could result in damage to the high voltage supply cable and energize the chassis of the vehicle, which would cause a severe electric shock to anyone standing on the ground and touching the vehicle.



S/FLM-210 TOUCH-UP PAINTING ON FIRE APPARATUS UPDATED

7/1/2004

The following establishes a standard for touch-up painting on all fire department vehicles excluding automobiles, pickups and 3/4-ton vans. Touch-up painting on all fire apparatus shall be done in a manner that will ensure that over spray will not get on other areas of the fire apparatus. Any time one color is applied next to a different color, the color not being repainted should be taped off with masking tape or other means to protect the surface not being painted. All apparatus equipped with steel wheels shall have the wheels painted red with the bead ring painted aluminum. All lug nuts and lug bolts shall be painted aluminum (See drawing). All apparatus with one-piece rims, single rear wheels (brush pumpers, etc.) shall have the wheels painted red with the bead lip painted aluminum. All lug nuts and lug bolts shall be painted aluminum.

The proper paint and supplies for repainting apparatus can be obtained from the Fire Department Operations Warehouse. Personnel should check with the supply room foreman to ensure that they receive the right colors of paint for their respective apparatus.

S/FLM-211 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE UPDATED

6/30/2017

Maintenance Services has reviewed manufacturer’s recommendation when vehicles should be serviced. Manufacturers of new makes and models have various mileage intervals. Maintenance Services has determined there is a need to change preventative maintenance intervals. This should improve our services to you, reducing the number of times your vehicle is in for this service. Preventative maintenance performed on all fire department vehicles will be serviced on mileage or yearly basis.

The following procedures have been established: All fire department vehicles will be serviced according to the manufacturer’s recommended service

intervals. Each fire department vehicle has a vinyl self-adhesive service sticker located in the left upper

portion of the windshield. This sticker indicates the vehicle number, date serviced, mileage, oil type, and next inspection due, mileage and/or date due for service.

It is the responsibility of the assigned operators of that vehicle to notify Fleet Maintenance Services of the next service date. When the vehicle is due for preventative maintenance, operator will fill out a work request via the Fireweb.

Preventative Maintenance Notification Once Fleet Maintenance Services receives notification that the vehicle is in need of service, the Field Operations Supervisor will notify you of the date the vehicle is scheduled for service. If you cannot make that date, notify the Field Operations Supervisor so he can re-schedule the vehicle. Schedules can change due to workload or activities of Maintenance Services.



S/FLM-212 AC GENERATORS ON E-ONE APPARATUS UPDATED

7/1/2004

Auxiliary Apparatus (old squads) In order to receive good service and extended life from the A.C. generators mounted in the auxiliary apparatus (old squads), all circuit breakers should be in the off position before starting the generator.

Start the generator and let it run for a few seconds, then flip the circuit breakers one at a time. This procedure is necessary because of a set of diodes that control the A.C. current load on the generator. If too much load is placed on the generator too soon, the diodes will heat up and burn out. This will cause all A.C. current to stop, damaging the generator. After using the generator, flip all circuit breakers off, one at a time, and then shut down the generator.

Rescue Ladders In order to receive good service and extended life from the A.C. generators mounted on the rescue ladders, the preheat button should be depressed and held for 60 seconds prior to starting the generator. If the generator fails to start, wait a few seconds, then depress the preheat button for 30 seconds again before starting the generator. Use the 30-second procedure until the generator starts. If the generator will not start, notify the maintenance facility for repairs.

All circuit breakers should be in the “OFF” position before starting the generator. Start the generator and let it run for a few seconds, then flip the circuit breakers to the on position, one at a time. After using the generator, flip all the circuit breakers to the “OFF” position one at a time, and then shut down the generator.

S/FLM-213 WHEEL CHOCKS UPDATED

7/1/2012

The purpose of this SOP is to establish proper procedures for stabilizing all firefighting apparatus. It is the policy of the Oklahoma City Fire-Rescue Service that all firefighting apparatus have adequate wheel chocks to stabilize the apparatus.

The authorized wheel chocks used ONLY by tank pumpers and brush pumpers is the wood chock blocks. The authorized wheel chocks used by engines, rescue ladders and other various special apparatus is the rubber stair step chock block.

Safety Checks 1. Make a check of all lighting including high and low beams, turn signals, hazard flashers, brake, tail,

back up lights, and warning lights. Repair any defective lights. 2. Check the windshield wipers, and washer fluid. Check the operation of all instruments, gauges, and

controls. After performing the pre-starting checks, you are ready to operate the vehicle. Start the engine and make sure all the systems are functioning.

Starting Engine WARNING: All internal combustion engines give off hazardous fumes and gases while running. DO

NOT start or run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated building where the fumes can accumulate.

NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with a Neutral Safety Switch that prevents the vehicle from starting in any gear but neutral. IF the vehicle fails to start check the position of the gear selector.



1. Check that the transmission is in (N) neutral and that the parking brake is applied. 2. Turn the MASTER switch to the ON position. 3. Turn the IGNITION switch to the ON position. Push the ENGINE START

switch. After the motor starts check the Oil Pressure gauge to make sure the engine has adequate oil pressure (40-60 psi). If necessary run the motor at slightly higher rpm to build up air pressure prior to releasing the parking brake (90-120 psi). Normal operating temperature is 160-210 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. If the engine does not start within 15-20 seconds after cranking, release the start button. Wait approximately 30 seconds and or double-check the starting procedure.

5. If the engine does not start after three of four attempts, stop and refer to the service manual. CAUTION: Repeated or prolonged operation of the starter may result in overheating, damage, or premature wear of starter components, and/or drainage on electrical system.

6. Fasten the seat belt. Apply the brake and release the parking brake (YELLOW BUTTON). Place the Transmission Selector in the desired position.

7. Proceed with caution.

Stopping Engine Read the Engine Operating Manual furnished by the manufacturer for recommended procedure. 1. Bring the Engine to a complete stop using the service brake. 2. Shift the transmission to Neutral (N). 3. Set the Parking Brake by pulling the Parking Brake Control (YELLOW BUTTON). 4. Turn off all DOT and warning lights. 5. Allow the engine to idle for 3 to 5 minutes. 6. Push the Engine Stop button until the motor stops completely. 7. Turn off the Ignition Switch. 8. Turn off the Master Switch. CAUTION: Do not turn off the Master Switch until the motor has completely stopped. This may

damage the electrical system.

Emergency Shutdown Procedure 1. Pull off the road to a safe location. 2. Bring the apparatus to a complete stop. 3. Disengage the transmission and set the parking brake. 4. Flip up the guard marked EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN and flip down the toggle switch. The

Emergency Shutdown Switch is located in the bottom right hand side of the MASTER CONTROL PANEL beside the FAST IDLE SWITCH.

5. Notify the shop or Duty Mechanic and Dispatch. Allison Transmission WARNING: Take the following precautions so that unexpected vehicle movement is avoided. Whenever it

becomes necessary to leave the vehicle, even momentarily, while the motor is running, place the transmission shift selector in N (NEUTRAL), set the parking brake, and chock the wheels.

WARNING: Do not allow the vehicle to coast in N (NEUTRAL). This practice can result in severe transmission damage. Also no engine braking is available when the transmission is in neutral.



R Reverse: Completely stop the vehicle before shifting from a forward range to Reverse or from Reverse to a forward range. The selector indicator will display R when in Reverse

D Drive: The transmission will initially attain first range when D (Drive) is selected. As vehicle speed increases, the transmission will upshift automatically through the range. As the vehicle slows the transmission will downshift automatically. The SELECT indicator will display the highest range available and the MONITOR will display the current operating range.

3-2: Occasionally road conditions, load, or traffic conditions will make it desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower range. Lower ranges provide greater engine braking for going down grades (the lower the range the greater the braking power).

Low Range (1): Use this range when pulling through mud and deep snow, when maneuvering in tight places, or when driving down steep grades. First range provides the vehicle with the most driving power and engine braking power.

Mode Button: The HT 740 Allison Transmission in the vehicle normally shifts up to fourth gear. This is for Highway Driving.

NOTE: For city driving use 3. For highway driving use D.

Telma Retarder The vehicle is equipped with a TELMA retarder. It has four progressive stages of retardation. Four lights mounted on the dashboard indicate how many stages have been activated. An electronic speed switch is used to deactivate the retarder when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The foot control is adjusted so that the retarder is in position three before the brake is applied. The retarder is capable of supplying up to 85% of the braking requirements. To engage or disengage the retarder push the Retarder Switch (below the Master Warning Switch) at any time. On slick roads lightly pushing the brake pedal will engage only the retarder and not the brakes which will give better control of the vehicle.

Emergency Lighting The Emergency Lighting controls are located on the console below the door ajar light. The MASTER WARNING SWITCH has to be in the "ON" position before any of the lights will work. The shop advises against leaving the light switches in the "ON" position and just turning the MASTER WARNING SWITCH on and off. This will spike the alternator possible causing damage. Pump Operations The following instructions cover both pump and PTO operations. The pump shift on the E-One Tele-Squirt uses a three-position air actuated control. The following steps should be followed to ensure that no damage is done to the transmission or to the pump.

NOTE: The throttle will not work if the parking brake is not engaged.

Pump Only 1. Shift the transmission to neutral. 2. Shift the pump shift to neutral (middle) position. 3. Wait two to three seconds (count one-one thousand etc.) 4. Move the pump shift to the pump position (bottom). The OK to Pump light will

REFER TO THE FOLLOWING SECTION, AERIAL OPERATION, FOR LOAD INFORMATION AND OPERATION OF THE TELE-BOOM.

AERIAL OPERATION Introduction The simplicity of the contemporary, well designed hydraulic system and telescoping boom assembly allow for an individual with average ability and proper training to become proficient in operating the 50’ Telescoping Boom. The safe and efficient execution of telescoping boom assembly functions during operations will depend, in part, on the operator’s capacity not to exceed the limitations and safety factors of the boom design.

Well trained operators should be the only personnel allowed to operate the boom assembly, observing the following rules to ensure safety and efficiency:

WARNING: The boom and ladder assembly is not insulated. Keep the telescoping boom and ladder at least 10 feet from overhead power lines. When elevating the boom and ladder near power lines, personnel on the ground should stand clear of the vehicle, and avoid stepping onto or touching the vehicle until the boom and ladder are in a safe position with respect to the overhead power lines. Personnel touching the ground and the vehicle, with the boom and ladder contacting an energized power line, will become a pathway to ground for electrical current, resulting in severe injury.

1. Complete a comprehensive study of the manual and have a thorough knowledge of operating instructions, safety precautions, unit capabilities, and limitation.

2. Learn to operate the controls without looking at the control panel. Learn the location of each control, its function, and how it operates.

WARNING: The operator should never leave the rear boom control station during on-scene operations. If personnel on the boom assembly become overcome by smoke, or otherwise incapacitated, the operator at the rear station can move the boom assembly to safety.

3. Operate the controls smoothly to prevent jerking and erratic boom movement. Whipping and bouncing are the most likely cause of damage to the boom, ladder, and rotation gear assemblies.

4. Practice basic no-load operations at low engine RPM setting under capable supervision during training.

5. Practice full-load operations in simulated “on the scene” conditions. 6. Do not leave the operators control station with the boom assembly raised, or in an operational capability. 7. Do not lower the boom assembly on buildings, trees, telephone poles, lights, or the truck body.



8. Give undivided attention to the boom and ladder assembly during operations; if distracted, stop operation. 9. The operator should keep his eyes on the telescoping boom assembly to avoid overhead electrical

wires or any object which could be struck. 10. Make a visual inspection of the unit before operating. Perform inspection of the boom assembly

and outriggers daily. Perform daily operational tests to ensure unit readiness. 11. Note and report any signs of trouble during operation, paying particular attention to the following:

a. Drifting hydraulic cylinders. b. Excessive oil pressure, oil leaks, and excessive oil consumption. c. Unusual noises or vibration in the hydraulic pump. d. Erratic movement of boom assembly, turntable, outrigger jacks, or function controls. e. Metal particles, sand, or other contamination on boom assembly extension slide surfaces,

waterway pipes, outrigger jack legs, or cylinder rod slide surfaces. f. Unlubricated boom extension slide pads, waterway pipes, or outrigger jack leg slide surfaces,

cables, pulleys, and pin retainers. g. Loose or missing retainer clips, pins, snap rings, bolts, and screws.

Table 12-1 SAFE LOAD AND REACH CHART

Site Location The vehicle should be positioned at a location where the ground is stable and the vehicle will be as level as possible. Maximum outrigger jack loads are generated during operation of the boom assembly at full extension and low elevation to the side of the vehicle.

Use good judgment in a potentially precarious situation to not jeopardize vehicle stability. Take into consideration the following conditions: 1. Overhead power lines within 10 feet of the boom assembly extension or other obstructions. The

boom assembly is not insulated and becomes a direct line for electrical flow. 2. Reach capability of the boom assembly to required area. 3. Hot and/or soft asphalt where outrigger jack pads may sink or shift and cause the vehicle to become

unstable. 4. Soft earth or ground erosion from rain or pump runoff water. 5. Frozen ground thaw from vehicle-created heat. 6. Retaining wall heights, open construction areas, and underground parking ramps and garages. 7. Outriggers should not bridge curbs, ditches, ramps, or run-off drains, or be placed over manhole

covers or sewer pipes. 8. Uneven terrain or sloped surfaces. Use wheel chocks under the wheels. PTO Operation The power required to drive the main hydraulic pump is supplied by a vehicle engine/transmission driven Power Take Off (PTO) unit. The PTO control is located on the center control console panel in the vehicle cab. Outrigger and boom assembly operations can begin after the PTO is engaged.

Engage the PTO in accordance with the following instructions:



CAUTION: Do not attempt to engage the PTO while the water pump is in operation. Shut the water pump down, then engage the PTO. Do not attempt to engage the PTO with the transmission in Neutral, or severe gear clashing will occur.

1. Ensure the battery selector switch, located in the vehicle cab, is in the BOTH position. 2. Ensure the vehicle engine is running. 3. Set the parking brake. 4. Place the transmission in Drive. 5. Place the PTO switch to IN, engaging the PTO. 6. Place the transmission in Neutral (N). The red PTO indicator lamp will light. NOTE: On vehicles with an air-pressure activated PTO, the air pressure required for PTO

engagement is 70-140 PSI. Observe the pressure gauge on the instrument panel.

On vehicles with an electro-hydraulic activated PTO, the PTO may be engaged in any gear, provided the engine RPM is set at low idle RPM.

CAUTION: Always disengage the PTO after use. The hydraulic pump, PTO or transmission may be damaged if the vehicle is driven any distance with the PTO engaged.

Open Flow System With the engine at governed RPM, the hydraulic pump supplies fluid to the inlet ports of the various system control valves. The hydraulic fluid circulates through the controls valves, filters, etc., and returns to the supply reservoir if the operating controls remain in neutral.

Pressure in this non-functioning condition is very slight since minimal resistance is encountered. When the operator actuates a control lever, pressure in the applicable line of the selected system increases simultaneously, resulting in the functional performance of the selected system.

Outrigger Operation The purpose of the outrigger system is to relieve the vehicle sprung suspension weight, and to provide an expanded level, rigid base for boom operations. Field circumstances can present less than ideal conditions for maximum stability provided by the outriggers. Keep in mind that the more out-of-level the vehicle is, the more boom assembly stability is reduced.

Extend outrigger jacks in accordance with the following instructions. The engine RPM are automatically increased with outrigger operation. 1. Position the vehicle at the selected site. 2. Set the parking brake, and wedge-block both the front and rear wheels. 3. Engage the PTO. 4. Position the MASTER POWER switch to ON. The MASTER POWER indicator lamp will light.

Position the BOOM/JACKS transfer switch to JACKS. 5. Spot the auxiliary jack pads. Using the JACKS switches on the control panel, lower the outrigger jack

until the jacks stop in the fully extended position. 6. Position the BOOM/JACKS transfer valve to BOOM. 7. Visually check the outriggers for stable position. 8. Block the wheels after the outrigger jacks are set. NOTE: The auxiliary jack pads are located on the underside of the vehicle body, adjacent to each

jack. The pads are intended to be used whenever the jacks are operated.

NOTE: Remove the wheel wedge-blocks before lowering the vehicle, and stowing the outrigger jacks.



Uneven Terrain NOTE: The first choice when encountering uneven terrain is to relocate the vehicle. If on-scene

emergency conditions do not permit relocation, blocking may have to be used.

Blocking may be used on a vehicle when uneven terrain prevents an outrigger from being lowered enough to give proper stability.

Caution should be exercised when using blocking. Place the blocking so it will not slip from under the jack pad.

NOTE: Emergency One does not recommend that blocking be used, but recognizes that not all emergency situations will allow ideal operating conditions.

Windy Conditions Telescoping boom assembly operations are not recommended with wind speeds in excess of 35 MPH. Operations with full load and extension are capable of being performed by the boom assembly within the 35 MPH wind speed limit.

Extreme Heat Conditions If the boom or ladder assembly is exposed to extreme heat during operation, thoroughly inspect the boom and ladder, directing particular attention to the boom extension slide pads, cables, waterway seals, and hydraulic lines.

The boom and ladder should be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA 1904 standard testing. If the temperature indicator decal at the boom tip indicates extreme heat exposure, test the boom material for structural hardness.

Freezing Conditions A substantial build-up of ice is very probable in freezing weather when operating a waterway system on the telescoping boom assembly. NOTE: Do not allow ice to build up on the boom, ladder, or pre-piped waterway tubes. Ice buildup

and accumulation on the ladder will decrease load and extension capability. Use a steam cleaner, hot water, or de-icer to remove ice. Do not chip ice with an axe.

Boom and ladder movement should be possible even with a buildup of ice. Ice buildup on the boom and ladder may have to be tolerated until corrective action can be taken. Avoid ice accumulation on any controls. NOTE: Hydraulic boom and ladder movement will be comparatively slow when the fluid is cold.

Normal operating speed will return as the fluid warms from circulation. When a vehicle has been exposed to below zero weather without operating for a prolonged period of time, allow the fluid to circulate at low throttle until the fluid becomes warm before operating the boom and ladder or outrigger functions. Oil locked in the outrigger cylinders, or any cylinder for an extended period of time during operating, will quickly return to ambient temperature. Thoroughly inspect the boom and ladder assembly after operating in ice and freezing conditions. Particular attention should be directed to the extension slide pads, cables, pulleys, and hydraulic lines. Ensure waterway pipes have been drained.

Main Level Controls The operator control panel is located at the rear/center of the vehicle, and has 3 levers, controlling 3 ladder functions of raising/lowering, extending/retracting, and rotation. An optional set of controls may be located at the pump panel operator’s station.

Apply slow even pressure to control levers for smooth boom function starts and stops. Hold each lever up or down until the desired boom position is obtained. Increasing the operational speed of a function is controlled by lever movement away from its neutral position. Use the finger and hand rests (formed ring around control levers), for improved hand stability and metering control.



CAUTION: Always operate controls slowly and smoothly to avoid jerky and erratic boom movement. Do not make sudden control lever engage or disengage movements. Sudden erratic or jerking motion could endanger personnel, and cause damage to the boom and ladder assembly.

Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump The boom assembly and outriggers may be moved to the stowed position in case the main hydraulic pump malfunctions or the vehicle engine stalls, using the auxiliary hydraulic motor/pump. The auxiliary hydraulic motor/pump is driven by a 12 volt DC electric motor which uses the vehicle batteries as a power source.

Use of the auxiliary pumps will enable operation of all hydraulic functions, but not simultaneous operation. The operational speed of each function will be reduced dir to a substantially lower GPM flow than the main hydraulic pump.

CAUTION: The auxiliary motor/pump is not designed or intended for continuous use. Operation should be limited to the required time to return the boom and outriggers to the stowed position.

Activate the auxiliary pumps by holding the momentary contact switch to ON, while simultaneously operating the retract, rotate, and lower control levers. After operations have been completed, release the momentary contact switch to halt auxiliary pump operation.

NOTE: A momentary contact switch to activate the auxiliary pump is located at the rear operator control station for boom and outrigger operation. Optional switches may be located at the pump operator’s station.

Starting Engine

WARNING: All internal combustion engines give off hazardous fumes and gases while running. DO NOT start or run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated building where the exhaust gases can accumulate.

NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with a Neutral Safety Switch that prevents the

vehicle from starting in any gear but neutral. If the vehicle fails to start, check the placement of the gear selector.

1. Check that the transmission is in (N) neutral and the parking brake is applied.

2. Turn battery selection switch to BOTH or the MASTER switch to the ON position.

3. Place the IGNITION switch to ON; push the ENGINE START button. Fasten the seat belt. After the engine starts, check the oil pressure guage to make sure the engine has adequate oil pressure (40-60 psi, 5-10 psi at idle). If necessary run the engine at a slightly higher RPM to build up air pressure prior to releasing the parking brake (90-120psi). Normal operating temperature is 160 - 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. If the engine does not start within 15-20 seconds after cranking; release the starter button. Wait approximately 30 seconds and repeat or double check the starting procedure.

5. If the engine does not start after three or four times, stop and refer to the service manual. CAUTION: Repeated or prolonged operation of starter may result in overheating, damage, premature wear of starter components, and/or drainage on electrical system.

6. Apply the brake pedal and release the parking brake (YELLOW BUTTON). Place the Transmission Selector in the desired position.

7. Proceed with caution.



Stopping Engine Read the Engine Operating Manual furnished by the manufacturer for recommended procedure. 1. Bring the truck to a complete stop using the service brake. 2. Shift the transmission to Neutral (N). 3. Set the Parking Brake by pulling the Parking Brake Control (yellow button). 4. Turn off all DOT and Warning lights. 5. Allow the engine to idle 3 to 5 minutes. 6. Depress the ENGINE STOP button until the motor stops completely. 7. Turn the Ignition Switch or the Master Switch to the OFF position. 8. While departing the vehicle turn the Battery Selector Switch to the OFF position. 9. CAUTION: Do not turn the Battery Selector Switch to the OFF position until the engine has

completely stopped. Switching to the OFF position before the engine has stopped will damage the electrical system.

10. Turn battery selector switch to OFF, if so equipped.

Emergency Shutdown Procedure 1. Pull off the road to a safe location. 2. Bring the apparatus to a complete stop. 3. Disengage the transmission and set the parking brake. 4. Flip up the guard marked EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN and flip down the toggle

switch. The EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SWITCH is located in the bottom right hand side of the MASTER CONTROL PANEL beside the FAST IDLE SWITCH.

5. Notify Dispatch and the shop.

Allison Transmission WARNING: Take the following precautions so that unexpected, possible sudden vehicle movement is

avoided. Whenever it becomes necessary to leave the vehicle, even momentarily, while the motor is running, place the transmission shift selector in N (neutral), set the brake and/or emergency brakes, and chock the wheels.

WARNING: Do not allow the vehicle to coast in N (neutral). This practice can result in severe transmission damage. Also no engine braking is available when the transmission is in neutral.

R Reverse: Completely stop the vehicle before shifting from a forward range to Reverse or from Reverse to a forward range. The Select indicator will display R and the Monitor will display R when in Reverse. D Drive: The transmission will initially attain first range when D (drive) is selected. As vehicle speed increases, the transmission will upshift automatically through the range. As the vehicle slows, the transmission will downshift automatically. The SELECT indicator will display the highest range available and the MONITOR will display the current operating range. 3-2: Occasionally road conditions, load, or traffic conditions will make it desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower range. Lower ranges provide greater engine braking for going down grades (the lower the range the greater the braking effect). Low Range (1): Use this range when pulling through mud and deep snow, when maneuvering in tight places, or when driving up or down grades. First range provides the vehicle with the most driving power and engine braking power. Mode Button: The HT 740 Allison Transmission in the vehicle normally shifts up to fourth gear. This is for highway driving.



Telma Retarder The vehicle is equipped with a TELMA retarder. It has four progressive stages of retardation. Four lights mounted on the dashboard indicate how many stages have been activated. An electronic speed switch is used to deactivate the retarder when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The foot control is adjusted so that the retarder is in position three before the brake is applied. The retarder is capable of supplying up to 85% of the braking requirements.

Emergency Lighting The emergency lighting controls are located on the center section of the dashboard. The Master Warning Switch has to be in the "ON" position before any of the lights will work. The shop advises against leaving the light switches in the "ON" position and just turning the Master Warning Switch on and off. This will spike the alternator possible causing damage. Pump Operations The Pump shift on the E-One Cyclone uses a three-position air actuated control. The following steps should be followed to ensure that no damage is done to the transmission or the pump. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged. The throttle will not work if the parking brake is not engaged. 11. Shift the transmission to neutral (N). 12. Shift the pump shift to the neutral (middle) position. 13. Wait two to three seconds (count one-one thousand etc.) 14. Move the pump shift to the pump position (bottom). The OK to Pump

light will come on. 15. Shift the transmission to Drive (D). The Pump Engaged will come on. 16. The speedometer will show 25-35 mph.

Discharges The E-1 Cyclone Engine has five discharges. Discharges one and two are located on the driver's side. Discharges three, four, and five are located on the officer's side. Discharge 5 is a large diameter.

CAPACITIES AND LIMITATIONS Aerial Capacities DANGER: Aerial operating capacities are governed by the aerial load chart installed at the Aerial

control station. Any deviation from these rated capacities could cause death or serious injury and /or structural failure or the aerial.

As the operator of an aerial ladder, the well-being of various personnel rests with your performance skill and ability to make proper judgments “on the spot’ as conditions demand. These factors make it all the more imperative that you are not only aware of your limitations, but also aware of the physical and structural limitations of the apparatus. Some of the following limitations appear on the Aerial Load Chart and are repeated here for informational purposes only.

DANGER: When operating Aerial Ladders, refer to the Aerial Load Chart for rated capacities and related information. Never rely on memory!



1. Load capacities are established at maximum permissible extension and operation throughout 360 degrees, with outriggers fully extended and set, turntable level, waterway drained and aerial ladder unsupported.

2. Full, rated capacities are allowable on grades up to, but not including, 6%/3.5 degrees . On grades between 6 and 14%/3.5 and 8.0 degrees, capacities are reduced by 50% (one-half).

3. Wind, ice, and other factors affecting stability, as well as strength of supporting surfaces and skill of the operator, must be considered when utilizing the aerial at its fullest potential.

4. Certain capacities are limited by structural strength, therefore, stability factors (as evidenced by the apparatus tipping) must not be relied upon as the capacity limitation.

5. Reduction in load capacities must be made to compensate for ice and/or snow accumulation.

6. Capacities are established for unit based on standard unit configuration. Substitution and/or addition of non-standard equipment will void all warranties and invalidate any liabilities.

WARNING: Capacities are established with no additional equipment at the tip (other than “as delivered” items). The weight of the tip equipment (nozzles, pike poles, axes, ladders, etc.) must be deducted from the tip load capacities.

NOTE: Due to additional weight imposed on units loaded with auxiliary equipment at the tip, lift circuit relief valves may restrict a fully extended aerial from being at horizontal or low angles.

Reading your Chart The load chart presents a graphic display of the aerial ladder apparatus’ load lifting and weight distribution limitations. The chart is representative of both ladder and water tower operational capacities, as well as combined operational capacities. Basic operating precautions and emergency shutdown instructions are also included in the chart as applicable. When used with the aerial elevation indicator, the aerial load chart enables the operator to determine the rated load capacity of the aerial under specific load conditions.

WARNING: The only applicable load limitations and capacities are those appearing on the aerial load chart attached to the apparatus. DO NOT use any other rating unless approved , in writing, by Simon Ladder Towers, Inc.

1. All capacities are based on outriggers set with extension beams at maximum stroke. The unit’s weight should be removed from the chassis springs, rear tire off the ground, front tires chocked and maintaining contact with the ground.

2. Published capacities are permissible on grades up to 6% (6’ rise within 100’). On grades of 6% up to 14%/3.5 degree up to 8.0 degrees, capacities must be reduced by 50% (one-half). Operating on grades in excess of 14%/9 degrees is prohibited.

3. Certain capacities are limited by structural strength, therefore, tipping cannot be relied on as a load limitation.

4. Capacities are determined for apparatus based on standard unit configuration. The weight of any additional equipment (hose, ladder, axe, etc.) must be deducted from the rated capacity.



Water Tower Capacities DANGER: Operating capacities are governed by the aerial load chart installed on the apparatus. Any

deviation from these rated capacities could cause death or serious injury and/or failure of the aerial.

Keep in mind that capacities for water tower operation are in addition to (combined with) those for aerial ladder operation. Therefore, one must be thoroughly familiar with the ladder’s load limitations before attempting any water tower operations. Many of the basic water tower operating rules are based upon reactive force, i.e., the force created at the nozzle (in relation to pressure, flow, and the size and type of the nozzle opening) and transmitted to the aerial structure. This is the same as the force transmitted to the operator when staffing a hand held line. Some of the following items appear on the aerial load chart and are repeated here for informational purposes only.

WARNING: When operating the water tower, refer to Aerial Load Chart for rated capacities and related information. DO NOT RELY ON MEMORY.

1. Water tower/load capacities are established with outriggers fully extended and set turntable level, and the aerial unsupported.

2. Know your capacities. Study this manual and the aerial load chart. Verify all load limitations before initiating any operation.

3. All aerial functions, except swing, may be performed simultaneously with water tower operations. Movement of the nozzle and aerial should be slow and deliberate. WARNING: Do not swing aerial to position water stream. Rotate monitor to redirect stream.

4. Snow and ice deposits reduce load capacities due to excess weight. 5. A qualified operator must remain at the turntable control console during water tower operations.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS General The information contained in this section is based on the most common installations. Since control and indicator arrangements are subject to customer specifications, location of specific items in the descriptive text is typical. Your familiarization with the physical configuration of your unit will assist in determining the applicability of the controls and systems covered in this manual.

NOTE: References made to left, right, front, and rear when referring to the aerial are those directions viewed when standing at the heel pin looking toward the ladder tip (ladder bedded).

Primary Power Controls Apparatus Battery Switch This unit is equipped with an ignition on/off switch which will make the necessary battery connections. NOTE: It is important that after the ignition or battery switch has been turned to the OFF position, the

switch must be turned back to the ON position until the engine has stopped completely.

Consult the chassis section of this manual for proper start-up and shut-down procedures for this unit.

Power Take-Off (PTO) Control A PTO control switch is installed in the apparatus cab, in the main control panel. An indicator light on the switch illuminates when the switch is positioned to “on”. Activating the switch energizes a solenoid which allows transmission fluid to the PTO. A clutch within the PTO engages the shaft which transfers power to the hydraulic pump. The truck transmission must be in neutral and the park brake set, before engaging the PTO.



Power Take-Off Engaged Indicator Light A pressure switch mounted on the PTO senses pressure inside the PTO and energizes a light adjacent to the PTO switch.

Ladder Power Switch A lighted power switch is provided in the apparatus cab, on the main control panel. When the switch is positioned “on”, a relay is energized which connects electrical power from the batteries to aerial circuits.

Fast Idle Switch (Cab) A rocker-type, single throw HI-IDLE switch is installed on the master switch panel in the chassis cab. When actuated, circuitry is completed to provide a preset “fast idle” engine speed (1500 - 1600 RPM’s). Fast idle switches are also located at the aerial control station and at the right rear outrigger control station. These controls are used to maintain higher RPM values for lighting and other auxiliary devices.

Hourmeter A 12-volt DC hourmeter installed in the apparatus cab, records operating hours with the power take off engaged (which translates to aerial hours of operations).

OUTRIGGER CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Extension/Retraction Controls Control of the individual outriggers is afforded at the two outrigger control stations at the right and left rear of the truck. The handles provide manual control of the valves which divert hydraulic flow to the required cylinders for deploying the outrigger beam (horizontal) and jack (vertical) cylinders. Pulling up on the handles will raise and retract outrigger jack and beam cylinders. Multiple functions may be achieved by actuating dual functions, but individual outrigger speeds will be reduced. Handles are located to allow the operator to see outrigger movement throughout the entire path of the outrigger travel.

Outrigger Emergency Controls All rear mount units utilize a manual valve bank for control of the outriggers. Therefore, these units do not have separate emergency/manual controls. This unit is equipped with controls which allow operation of the system if there is an electrical control box malfunction.

Outrigger Fully-Deployed Indicator Lights Working in conjunction with the outrigger interlock system, each outrigger has limit and proximity switches which must be activated before the aerial can be operated. Switches activate when the cylinders are in their full travel position. When all switches are activated for a particular outrigger, its green light at the control box will light. Although the parameters needed to activate the light are met, the operator must set the unit up keeping in mind all the other requirements for the best possible set-up at the fire scene.

Outrigger Circuit Pressure Gauge A 0 to 5000 psi pressure gauge is piped directly into the outrigger valve bank. The gauge shows selected circuit operating pressure when the outrigger system is activated. The gage is located at the right hand outrigger control station.

Interlock Override Switch A covered interlock override switch allows the jack (vertical) cylinder of an outrigger to be lowered to the ground without the beam (horizontal) cylinder being in its fully extended position. This is identified as a “short set” condition which will reduce the safe movement of the aerial.

NOTE: This switch does not limit the unit’s movement to an unsafe area. Aerial movement must be controlled by the operator or the aerial rotation limiting system.



Manual Circuit Selector In the event of an electrical failure, the outrigger controls will become disabled because of the interlock system. The circuit selector requires a quarter turn to the left or right for engagement. When activated the manual circuit selector allows hydraulic fluid to the outrigger valve bank which can then be controlled using the standard operating procedures.

Manual Interlock Override In the event of an electrical failure, the covered interlock override switch will be inoperable. The manual interlock override is a momentary button which will shift necessary flow of oil to the appropriate outrigger jack for “short setting”.

Emergency Power Unit Switch (EPU) A hydraulic failure within the main system will stop normal operation of the outriggers. An emergency power unit with controls at each outrigger control station can be used in conjunction with outrigger function levers and override controls, if necessary, for brief emergency operation of required systems.

Aerial Control Console A control console, dedicated primarily to aerial functions, is installed on the left side of the turntable. Aerial controls and indicators located at the console are described in the following text. Aerial Foot Power Switch A foot operated aerial power switch is installed on the turntable deck at the control console. The operator must depress and hold the switch in the “ON” position to operate the aerial from the console. Should the operator become immobilized, or leave the assigned station, (foot switch no longer activated), the aerial would immediately become inoperable from the console.

Aerial Control and Indicators Aerial function control levers are mechanically linked to the valve spool. Therefore, when the lever is actuated the spool is shifted (moved) proportionally to control lever movement. The travel distance to actuator response, is proportional to control lever movement.

NOTE: Keep in mind that function speed is directly proportional to control lever movement.

Elevation Control Lever The ELEVATION control lever, located on the right of the swing control, permits rasing and lowering of the aerial when positioned to UP or DOWN.

Swing Control Lever The SWING control lever, located between the telescope and elevation controls, permits rotation of the aerial in the desired direction when positioned to LEFT or RIGHT.

Telescope Control Lever The TELESCOPE control lever, located to the left of the swing control, affords extension and retraction of the aerial ladder when positioned to IN or OUT. Lever Locations Control levers are located as follows:

Extend Swing Elevate LEFT SIDE CENTER RIGHT SIDE

Rung Alignment Indicator An amber RUNG ALIGN (ment) indicator is installed to the left of the aerial controls on the console. The light illuminates when the rungs of all ladder sections are properly aligned for climbing.

Aerial Hydraulic System Pressure Gauge A 0 to 5000 psi, console-mounted gage registers “working” pressure in the aerial hydraulic system. With all controls in neutral (valve spools centered), the gage registers static pressure in the aerial system.

When a control lever is actuated, the gauge registers pressure developed to perform that specific function.(Indicated pressure may drop below specified pressure when multiple functions are actuated).



Aerial Elevation Indicator A floating-ball type angle indicator is installed on the left side of the ladder base section at the turntable. The indicator is calibrated from -20 to 80 degrees. Used in conjunction with the load chart and extension meter, the indicator enables the operator to determine the rated capacity at any given length and angle.

Fast Idle Switch A single throw FAST IDLE switch is installed on the aerial control console and on the right outrigger control station.

Monitor and Nozzle Controls Three switches located on the right side of the console face allow remote control of the monitor and nozzle. A second control box is mounted on the sliding/retractable monitor mount. Switches are allotted for control of nozzle SWEEP (left and right), ELEVATION (up and down), and PATTERN (fog and stream).

WARNING: When the monitor’s retractable mount is pinned to the mid-section, the monitor must be operated with the controls at the aerial console.

NOTE: Switches at the console will override controls installed on the monitor’s retractable mount.

Outrigger “Not Deployed” Indicator A red light located at the aerial control station indicates that an outrigger has not been fully deployed, and that a “short-set” condition exists.

Outrigger Interlock Override When it has been necessary to “short-set” an outrigger, the “Not Deployed” indicator will be lit and it will be necessary to use the outrigger interlock override to move the aerial. The override switch has a cover to ensure that its use is deliberate.

WARNING: Improper use of the OUTRIGGER INTERLOCK OVERRIDE SWITCH, or use by an improperly trained operator, could lead to a seriously unsafe situation.

Turntable Alignment Indicator Two stainless steel arrowheads, one affixed to the turntable deck and one affixed to the body deck, indicate (when aligned) to the operator that the ladder is in the correct position for bedding in the cradle.

Water Flow Meter A digital display supplies a continuous read-out of the gallons per minute (GPM) of water being discharged through the aerial’s telescopic waterway and nozzle. This system consists of a sensor in the waterway piping, an electronic module, and the display unit.

Communications Station A two-way communications system consisting of a master station at the turntable control station and a slave station mounted at the tip, allow communication between operators at each station. The station at the tip allows for “hands free” talking and listening.

Load Alarm Indicator This alarm system indicates that a preset limit of loading has been reached. The system determines the hydraulic pressure within the lift cylinder circuit. As the load is increased the pressure in the circuit will also increase until the limit is reached, setting off the audible alarm. This system is to be used as a secondary system of warning due to its inaccuracy when the unit is at higher elevations. At higher elevations the load shifts from the lift cylinders to the extension/retraction cylinders and their associated cables. The limitations identified on the load chart for this unit are to be strictly followed to ensure safety for personnel and equipment.

WARNING: Do not load the aerial past the limitations identified on the load chart. Overloading of the aerial can cause equipment failure and death or serious injury to personnel.



DANGER: This unit is not equipped with a rotation limiting system. Movement of the aerial/turntable to positions past parallel to truck or on the same side as a “short-set” outrigger will cause the unit to tip over. Do not under any conditions move aerial to the prohibited positions.

MANUAL OVERRIDES/EMERGENCY CONTROLS Aerial The QS series units do not have manual override controls as such. The aerial valve bank is located inside the turntable console. The control handles located on the console are manually moving the spool valve spools inside the valve bank, and shifting the hydraulic fluid as the handles are moved.

IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE, NOTIFY THE SHOP IMMEDIATELY.

In the event of an electrical failure, it would be necessary to actuate the blocking solenoid valve located at the back wall of the turntable weldment, just forward of the turntable step. To actuate the valve, push the knob in and turn slightly to the left. Fluid flow is now possible to the main control valve. Aerial may now be used as absolutely necessary for rescue procedures. Electrical problems must be corrected as soon as possible. When aerial procedure is complete, push and turn solenoid knob to the right to re-engage valve for outrigger operation.

DANGER: With blocking solenoid disengaged, aerial must be used in accordance with limits defined by the outrigger set-up (aerial must not be used on the same side as a “short-set” outrigger).

NOTE: Restore solenoid knob to its original position before outriggers are moved.

Use of the EPU (Emergency Power Unit) will be required if a hydraulic failure has occurred. The momentary switch, located at the outrigger control stations must be held ON to provide fluid flow to aerial systems. Only limited function needed to wrap-up the unit are suggested because of the short continuous use time of the EPU. If both electrical and hydraulic systems have failed, a combination of both procedures above will be needed.

APPARATUS READINESS CHECK Operator’s Daily Checklist The following “checklist” items should be used in conjunction with the walk around inspection diagram during daily, operational readiness checks of the apparatus. Inspecting personnel should be especially alert for evidence of structural damage, loose equipment, leaks, and other conditions that would require immediate corrective action to keep the unit in a “state of readiness.”

SET-UP PROCEDURES Priority Considerations for Set-Up Rescue capability is always the primary concern when positioning the apparatus for operation. With proper training and experience gained from previous fire ground operations, such assessment and action will become instinctive in nature. Upon arrival at the fire scene, the following factors must be taken into consideration prior to positioning the aerial ladder apparatus for use:

WARNING: Due to the overall length of the aerial, it is most important to position and setup the apparatus to the best advantage of existing conditions. Avoid any situations which could deteriorate and result in the apparatus tipping, overloading the ladder, subjecting the aerial to contact with charged conductors, or any other known hazardous environment.

1. Required reach and intended use of aerial.

2. Ground conditions and slopes affecting stability.

3. Overhead obstructions and hazards.

4. Conditions favorable to operating “over the rear.” (“Over the rear” operation is defined as angles up to and including 45 degrees to either side of the apparatus centerline. “Over the rear” affords the most stable operating position for the aerial. Greatest reach is also gained with the aerial positioned “over the rear”).

5. Accessibility to onboard equipment.

6. Existing fire, fireground conditions, and those likely to develop.

7. Not obstructing approach or exit, or otherwise interfering with simultaneous fire ground operations.



PREOP REQUIREMENTS Aerial Operations Only 1. Position the apparatus in the best possible location, keeping in mind that operating “over the rear”

offers maximum capacities and optimum performance.

2. With engine at slow idle (600 rpm approx.) and apparatus transmission in neutral, set the parking brake and chock the front wheels (in front of and behind tires).

3. With engine at slow idle (600 rpm approx.) and transmission in (N) neutral, actuate PTO control switch. This energizes a solenoid, opens a valve, and allows transmission oil pressure to engage a clutch pack integral of the PTO. Check the PTO engage light is illuminated.

4. Actuate the fast idle switch at the outrigger control station, to set engine at the required speed for outrigger operation.

NOTE: Aerial fast idle will not work unless the parking brake is set and the transmission is in neutral.

Aerial and Water Tower Operations NOTE: Units with and without pumps can be used as water towers. Units without pumps will

require another unit with a pump to supply water to the rear inlet of the unit. Water can then be pumped through the unit’s water way to the monitor.

NOTE: Electric monitors are functional as long as the ladder power switch, located on the cab’s overhead control panel, is in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Follow procedures as outlined in Preop requirements for aerial operations.

OUTRIGGER OPERATION Deploying the Outriggers The proper method for deployment of the outrigger system is to relieve the weight from the vehicle’s springs and tires (rear tire not contacting the ground, front tires contacting the ground), allowing the frame and aerial torque box assembly to assume the operating load.

WARNING: When operating on slopes or slippery terrain, keep one set of braking (wheels with air actuated, spring applied brakes) tires firmly on the ground.

NOTE: References made to left, right, front, and rear when referring to the aerial are those directions viewed when standing at the heel pin looking toward the ladder tip.

1. Actuate applicable outrigger beam control(s) to the OUT position and fully extend the beam(s); repeat for remaining outrigger(s) as necessary.

NOTE: In the event that an outrigger beam cannot be fully extended, the vertical jack can be lowered by using the outrigger interlock override switch.

2. Place auxiliary pads in position on ground under jack cylinders

NOTE: Outrigger beams can be extended simultaneously and jacks can be lowered together to save time during set-up.

3. Actuate applicable outrigger jack control(s) to DOWN position and lower jack(s) until weight is removed from the chassis springs; repeat for the remaining side as necessary. The outrigger fully deployed indicator light(s) should illuminate when jacks make positive contact with the ground (supporting surface).



DANGER: An electrocution hazard could exist, and death or serious injury could result from contact with any outrigger, should the apparatus become electrically charged (the outriggers are an extension of the apparatus frame).

WARNING: A moving outrigger can cause serious crushing injury. Do not operate any outrigger unless you or a spotter can see that all personnel are clear of the outrigger’s beam and jack travel path, and contact point.

Outriggers must be set on solid footing. Setting outriggers on uneven or unsure surfaces could cause the apparatus to tip over.

All manual locking pins and auxiliary pads must be properly installed/used when outriggers are deployed.

CAUTION: Allow 1/4 inch minimum clearance above locking pin when inserting through holes in the skirt. Continuous operation with weight on the pins could elongate the holes.

4. Install locking pin in each outrigger skirt.

Leveling the Apparatus DANGER: If the angle of the turntable is between 6 and 14% reduce capabilities through 360 degrees

by one-half.

If grade permits, level apparatus as follows: 1. Using applicable outrigger controls, raise low side of the unit slightly above horizontal; lower

opposite jack to level unit. WARNING: Maintain front tire contact with the ground in all sloping and level conditions.

2. If raising low side above horizontal cannot be accomplished due to grade, fully extend jack on that (low) side.

3. Lower opposite side jack to adjust unit as near level as grade will allow, ensuring that outriggers are “loaded” with as much chassis weight as possible, and turntable angle is less than 6 percent from horizontal. NOTE: With conditions as stated in step 3, no weight reductions are required through 360

degrees of aerial rotation. 4. Install locking pin in each outrigger skirt. 5. Make sure the area below outriggers is clear. Outriggers are properly set when the “FULLY

DEPLOYED” light comes on. 6. Return engine rpm to slow idle (disengage fast idle).

Stowing the Outriggers CAUTION: Ensure that locking pins are removed from the outrigger skirts before initiating any stowing

operations.

1. Remove and stow outrigger locking pins. NOTE: The outrigger system is not activated unless the aerial is retracted, lowered, and stowed.

NOTE: If the outrigger interlock switch was used to set the outriggers, it will be required for stowing as well.

2. Actuate applicable outrigger jack control(s) to UP position and raise vertical jack(s) fully. The outrigger deployed light should go out; repeat for remaining outrigger(s) as necessary. NOTE: Outrigger jacks can be raised simultaneously and beams can be retracted together to

expedite withdrawal from the fire scene.



3. Actuate applicable outrigger beam control(s) to IN position and stow outrigger(s); repeat for remaining outrigger(s) as necessary.

4. Retrieve and stow auxiliary outrigger pads.

Outrigger Interlock The outrigger system is equipped with an interlock feature which interfaces with the aerial controls to prevent the use of the aerial if the outriggers have not been correctly or only partially set up. This system is designed to protect the users from the possibility of tipping the truck over because of improperly positioned outriggers. A properly set outrigger is indicated by a green light at its corresponding control station. Illumination of the light confirms that the outrigger has been fully extended horizontally and vertically, and that the unit’s weight has shifted to the outrigger. If any of these conditions are not met the light will not activate. With all green lights illuminated, electrical power is available for use of the aerial. After the ladder has been taken out of the cradle, any movement of the outrigger will not affect aerial operations.

Interlock Override/Emergency Operation The outrigger interlock override system is designed to allow use of the aerial in situations where lives are at risk and no other options are available. The system allows the outrigger, on the side opposite of where the aerial is to be used, to be “short set,” or not fully extended in the horizontal direction. By activating the interlock override switch, full horizontal extension of one outrigger is not necessary and aerial functions can be accessed. Each aerial control station contains a red “outrigger not deployed” indicator, which warns that an outrigger has not been fully deployed and that use of the override switch will be necessary for any aerial functions. WARNING: Use of the aerial while in an override situation must be limited to the area parallel with the

truck forward, to parallel with the truck rearward, and on the side opposite of the “not fully deployed” outrigger.

When used properly the system is safe, but additional caution is needed because there is no system to prevent accidental or deliberate misuse by personnel. DANGER: Utilization of the outrigger interlock override must be used as a last resort, when all other

options have been exhausted. Operators must be properly trained and aware of the potential danger if procedures are not followed properly while the system is in the override condition.

The following steps identify correct use of the system: 1. When arriving at the scene, placement of the apparatus must be carefully considered to avoid the

need for repositioning the truck. 2. Follow the directions under DEPLOYING THE OUTRIGGERS to attempt a setup. 3. When it is determined that an outrigger cannot be extended fully, it will be necessary to move to

object(s) that block full deployment. 4. If the objects cannot be moved, consider repositioning the truck.

NOTE: Experience and knowledge of the unit’s capabilities and limitations should eliminate the need to “short-set” outriggers. This allows the interlock override system to be used in an “EXTREME EMERGENCY” situations for which it was designed.

5. When determination has been made that an outrigger must be “short-set”, extend the outrigger (opposite the side which the aerial will be used) to the farthest point possible.

6. Extend the opposite outrigger’s beam cylinder fully. 7. Place the outrigger shoring pads under the jack cylinder engagement area for each outrigger. 8. Extend the jack cylinders until the weight is relieved from the suspension, while using the apparatus

level indicator for proper leveling of the unit. NOTE: It will be necessary to activate the interlock override switch to lower the short-set outrigger.

9. Install the locking pin in each outrigger skirt.



OUTRIGGER INTERLOCK OVERRIDE Manual Controls In the event of an electrical failure, the interlock override switch will become inoperative and it will be necessary to use the MANUAL CIRCUIT SELECTOR and the MANUAL INTERLOCK OVERRIDE button to lower the jack cylinder in the “short-set” condition. The procedure is as follows:

1. Interlock override switch and outrigger function controls are identified as inoperative.

2. Push and turn the manual circuit selector control 1/4 turn to the left and release.

3. Push momentary manual interlock override and hold while moving outrigger control handle to lower jack cylinder.

4. Install locking pin in each outrigger skirt.

Repeat steps (1) through (4) as necessary.

NOTE: In normal or emergency operation, the possibility of a hydraulic failure is always present. In this situation it is necessary to use the E.P.U.(Emergency Power Unit) Switch to supply hydraulic power in conjunction with the systems previously described.

AERIAL OPERATION General Safety Instructions WARNING: An untrained operator subjects himself and others to death or serious injury. Do not attempt

to operate the apparatus until you have read, understand, and can apply the safety precautions and operating procedures contained in all applicable manuals and regulations.

Before attempting any aerial operation, review safety precautions, and capabilities and limitations sections of this manual.

Do not operate this unit until you have been fully trained in its safe and proper operation by qualified personnel.

You must operate within the limits of the city of Oklahoma City’s work rules and all applicable government regulations.

Failure to obey any of the following could result in death or serious injury. 1. Inspect vehicles and aerial DAILY, including functional checks of all systems. 2. Outriggers must be set on solid footing to prevent tip-over, manual locking pins must be installed. 3. Operators shall wear body belt and use a lanyard to secure to ladder. 4. Always operate any controls slowly for smooth motion. 5. Do not load aerial beyond rated capacity. 6. Operator should wear proper protective gear. 7. Read and comply with all safety and operating decal on the apparatus. As a safety precaution, the operator should make note of and report any signs of trouble observed during normal operation. Be alert of the following: 1. Excessive hydraulic pressure. 2. Hydraulic oil leaks. 3. Excessive hydraulic oil consumption. 4. Any unusual noise or vibration. 5. Any erratic movement of ladder or controls.

WARNING: A qualified operator must remain at the turntable control station at all times.



PINNING THE RETRACTABLE MONITOR FOR OPERATION WARNING: Waterway must be fully drained, ladder fully retracted, and aerial positioned to zero

degrees elevation, before changing pinned position of monitor. NOTE: Since rescue capability remains the primary concern when arriving at the fire scene, it is

recommended that the monitor be pinned to the mid-section as a standard configuration. For maximum water tower operations, the monitor is pinned to the fly section.

1. Drain waterway as necessary, and retract and position aerial at zero degrees elevation. 2. Insert locking pin in the appropriate position for selected monitor configuration; refer to placards

adjacent to the sliding mount pinning hole location. AERIAL FUNCTIONS NOTE: Maximum aerial strength is afforded at the shortest radius, with the ladder at maximum

length and highest permissible elevation. NOTE: The recommended sequence of aerial operation is elevate, rotate, and extend. The reverse

sequence holds true for stowing the ladder. WARNING: If a tipping condition is encountered, retract and/or elevate aerial to return to allowable

operating envelope. Never lower or extend ladder, as this will only worsen the condition. MONITOR AND NOZZLE OPERATION WARNING: Refer to aerial load chart for maximum horizontal and vertical sweep of nozzle. CAUTION: Do not hold nozzle against any stop or full travel position in any function, as damage to

motor will occur. NOTE: Controls for nozzle operation are located on the aerial control console at the ladder tip. When the monitor retractable mount is pinned to the fly-section, the nozzle shall be remotely controlled from the aerial console. Sweep nozzle to reposition stream whenever possible (as opposed to swinging the aerial). Refer to vendor information, supplied with the monitor and nozzle, for additional information. Raising and Lowering the Nozzle Position RAISE/LOWER control to direction required; hold until nozzle reaches desired position. Adjusting Nozzle Pattern Position STREAM/SHAPE control to pattern required; hold until nozzle reaches desired position. Sweeping the Nozzle Position RIGHT/LEFT control to direction required; hold until nozzle reaches desired position.

RAISING/LOWERING THE LADDER NOTE: The recommended sequence of aerial operation is: (1) ELEVATE, (2) ROTATE, (3)

EXTEND. The reverse holds true for bedding the ladder.

Raising the Ladder WARNING: Before raising the ladder, make sure that the area above is clear of overhead obstructions. Position the ELEVATION control lever to UP; hold until ladder reaches the desired elevation. NOTE: Engine RPM and control lever distance from neutral determine speed of raising ladder.

Lowering the Ladder WARNING: Before lowering the ladder, make sure that the area below is clear of any obstructions. Position the ELEVATION control lever to DOWN; hold until ladder reaches the desired elevation. NOTE: Engine RPM and control lever distance from neutral determine the of lowering ladder.



Swinging the Aerial WARNING: Before swinging the aerial in either direction, ensure that swing path is clear of obstructions

and personnel. Never rapidly reverse swing direction as a sudden change of direction could dislodge

personnel on the ladder, turntable, platform and/or damage the swing mechanism. CAUTION: Ensure that aerial is raised sufficiently to clear cradle, cabinetry, accessories, etc., prior to

swinging. Position SWING control lever to LEFT or RIGHT as required; hold until aerial reaches desired position. NOTE: To increase swing speed, control handle is moved further away from (N) neutral (center position).

To decrease swing speed, control handle is moved closer to (N) neutral (center position). NOTE: Better “feathering” control of swing movement (when close to operating hazards, i.e.,

buildings, power lines, etc.) can be attained with engine at “slow idle” RPM. NOTE: Aerial is equipped with an automatic swing brake. Brake will engage when the control

handle is returned to (N) neutral (center position).

EXTENDING/RETRACTING THE LADDER NOTE: Refer to the markings on the ladder for readout of LADDER EXTENSION (length). Extending the Ladder DANGER: Never extend ladder with personnel onboard, as sufficient power exists to mangle or sever

any limb caught between the rungs. WARNING: Before extending the ladder, ensure that extension path is clear of obstructions and

personnel. Do not rest ladder on structure. The ladder is designed to support rated loads in the unsupported configuration.

Position the TELESCOPE control lever to OUT; hold until the ladder extends to the desired length. NOTE: Engine RPM and control lever distance from (N) neutral determine the speed of ladder

extension. Retracting the Ladder DANGER: Never retract the ladder with personnel onboard, sufficient power exists to mangle or sever

any limb caught in the rungs. WARNING: Do not rest the ladder on any structure. The ladder is designed to support rated loads in the

unsupported configuration. Position the TELESCOPE control lever to IN; hold until ladder retracts to the desired length. NOTE: Engine RPM and control lever distance from (N) neutral determine speed of ladder retraction.

AERIAL OPERATION INTERLOCK OVERRIDE MODE With the outrigger in a “short-set” condition, the outrigger not deployed lights at the turntable and platform consoles will be illuminated. In order to actuate aerial functions, it will be necessary to hold the interlock override switch in the actuated position throughout the use of the control lever. This is designed to make each movement of the aerial deliberate and thought out. the interlock override switch can be released when aerial movement is complete.

DANGER: Movement of the aerial/turntable to positions past parallel to truck or on the same side as a “short-set” outrigger will cause unit to tip over. Do not under any conditions move the aerial to the prohibited positions.

WARNING: Releasing the interlock override switch while in motion will cause aerial to stop abruptly.



Manual Override/Emergency Procedure The QS series units do not have separate manual controls to apply in case of an electrical failure. The control levers for aerial operation act directly on the aerial main control valve. In the event of an electrical failure it will be necessary to activate the blocking solenoid mounted forward of the turntable rear step. A slight push and turn to the left of the control knob will allow hydraulic flow to the aerial valve.

NOTE: Blocking solenoid at the outrigger control station must be in the inactivated or IN position for aerial use (normal position).

Aerial controls can now be used following procedures identified in the non-emergency section. Because there has been a failure within a major system, it is important that necessary functions be completed, and the electrical problem corrected as quickly as possible. When all procedures are complete, it will be necessary to return the blocking solenoid to the normally closed position by pushing and turning the knob slightly to the right, until engaged in the detent. In the event that a hydraulic failure has occurred, it will be necessary to utilize the EPU to supply hydraulic fluid to the valve bank.

NOTE: An additional operator will be necessary to activate the Emergency Power Unit at the outrigger control station.

Both an electrical and hydraulic failure will require the use of the EPU control in conjunction with the previously described procedures.

CHARGING/DRAINING AERIAL WATERWAY NOTE: Prior to charging the waterway, maneuver aerial into the best position to direct nozzle stream. 1. Charge aerial waterway as follows:

DANGER: Prior to charging waterway, ensure that the nozzle is positioned in a safe and effective direction. a. Check that the waterway drain valve is closed. b. Slowly open applicable water supply.

CAUTION: Drain waterway immediately in freezing conditions. Failure to do so will result in damage to the seals of the telescoping sections.

2. Drain aerial waterway as follows: a. Close applicable water supply.

WARNING: Do not attempt to drain the waterway by retracting the waterway. b. Slowly open manual aerial drain valve and drain waterway.

NOTE: Waterway will drain easier with the ladder elevated.

FLOW METER The aerial waterway flow meter, which is mounted in the turntable control console, is used to identify water flow in gallons per minute. Meter allows flow limits, listed on unit load chart, to be identified easily.

OPERATING IN SUBFREEZING CONDITIONS WARNING: Before operating in freezing and subfreezing environments, ensure that all control cables,

linkages, cylinders, handhold, walking surfaces, etc. are free of snow and ice deposits. Visually inspect swing gear and pinion for any snow and ice accumulations that would restrict operation.

NOTE: If snow or ice is hampering any aerial function, “jog” applicable control to free actuator. When operating in extreme cold, subzero temperatures, the hydraulic pump should be operated at “slow idle” until the hydraulic oil reaches a minimum of 60 degrees F. This helps to prevent the pressure filter from bypassing cold, thick oil directly into the system, without the benefit of filtration. Warmer oil also reduces the stiffening effect that cold temperatures induces on flexible hoses.



Special attention must be paid to the hydraulic oil in ensuring that it is kept free of water contamination. Emulsified water can freeze out of the hydraulic oil as crystals, in turn blocking the suction line filter and causing pump cavitation (with possible pump damage). It is also very important to avoid water contamination of hydraulic oil/reserves in subzero operation. Water crystals can block the suction strainer, resulting in damage to the hydraulic pump.

STOWING THE AERIAL WARNING: Observe all danger, warning, and caution notices applicable to individual operations

required for stowing the aerial. 1. Drain the aerial waterway as necessary.

CAUTION: When returning the ladder to the cradle, ensure that sufficient elevation is maintained to clear apparatus cab and attachments. Ensure that the ladder is aligned with the cradle when stowing so that cabinets, lights, etc., are not damaged.

2. Fully retract, rotate. and lower the aerial into the cradle; hold the ELEVATION control in the DOWN position and gently “power” aerial into the cradle. This will aid in preventing aerial bounce during travel.

3. Adjust engine RPM to “slow idle”. 4. Remove and stow outrigger manual lockpins. 5. Return engine RPM to “fast idle”. 6. Raise and stow outriggers; retrieve and stow auxiliary outrigger pads. 7. Adjust engine speed to “slow idle” and disengage PTO. 8. Actuate LADDER POWER Switch to the OFF position. 9. Shift transmission to (N) neutral. 10. Retrieve and stow wheel chocks.

EMERGENCY POWER UNIT OPERATION EPU Operation The Emergency Power Unit consists of an electric motor and a small hydraulic pump which, when activated, allows the operator to move the aerial or outriggers in the event of a main system failure. The system is capable of all functions in a no-load condition,. However, because of short continuous use limit time, it is important that only required functions be used to move personnel and equipment to safety. Functions should be limited to those associated with wrap-up of the aerial. The outriggers can be stowed, to allow truck movement in a situation of impending danger. The EPU can be used over a long period of time at a 7% duty cycle, which is approximately 21 seconds in 5 minutes. NOTE: The EPU should be run every 10 hours of aerial use to circulate oil in the system and

ensure the unit is working properly. CAUTION: The EPU is rated for a maximum of three minutes of continuous operation. Exceeding this

period of time will cause the unit to fail. Actual operating time is dependant on the batteries state of charge and hydraulic pressure in the circuits being moved.

NOTE: EPU operation is independent of the aerial electrical system. 1. Disengage the main hydraulic pump. 2. Actuate EPU switch to the ON position and hold for duration of the emergency system operation. 3. Operate applicable controls and stow aerial and/or outriggers as necessary. 4. Release EPU switch.



INSTA-CHAIN (THE AUTOMATIC ICECHAIN) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Engaging the Insta-Chains 1. The Insta-Chains work best when engaged while moving, and before slippage occurs. 2. The Insta-Chains may be disengaged at any time. 3. When approaching an icy grade and you don’t have the Insta-Chains engaged, slow down to 25

mph and engage the Insta-Chains. Then slowly regain and maintain your speed. Use of the Insta-Chains While They are Engaged 1. The Insta-Chains work better at speeds of more than 5 mph. 2. The Insta-Chains should be engaged between 5 and 25 mph. If you need to engage the Insta-

Chains from a standstill, spin the tires 5 mph before engaging the Insta-Chain. This will prevent the Insta-Chains from becoming tangled.

3. Do not exceed 30 mph with the Insta-Chains engaged. 4. When climbing a hill with the Insta-Chains try to maintain your momentum, this will improve the

performance of the Insta-Chains. 5. For best results while moving, accelerate slowly, spinning the wheels will result in a loss of traction. 6. While using the Insta-Chains in reverse, the Insta-Chains will work best at speeds above 7-10 mph. Braking and Stopping 1. When stopping on snowy or icy roads, engage the chains before stopping to increase traction, and

to increase traction when restarting. 2. Avoid locking the brakes while braking under any conditions. AERIAL MAINTENANCE

TO BE PERFORMED EVERY 10 HOURS OF LADDER RUN TIME ON LADDER TRUCKS FOR ALL 1995 SIMON LTI LADDER TRUCKS

Ladder Greasing Utilizing a bucket of “Amsoil” brand grease and 3” paint brush, grease the following: All black areas inside and outside the ladder sections. All sheave wheels for extension and retraction cables (zircs). Top & bottom lift cylinder pin bushings (zircs). Heel pin bushing (zircs).

Under ladder on top plate of turntable (center), grease fittings to rotek bearing. Note: Ladder needs to be rotated during bearing greasing (2 full rotations while steadily applying grease) (1/4 tube). Black Gore Tube (Plastic) Spray with a teflon base dry lubricant. Very important to use a type that will not attract dirt, etc. If this happens, lubricant will contaminate with dirt and shorten overall life of the gore tube considerably. Monitor Grease with white lithium or similar where gear drive of motor meets teeth of gears. Apply with brush. Water Pipe Slip Tubes Saturate tubes with a clean rag with a with automatic transmission fluid with ladder at 0 degree off the side of the truck. Wipe ATF thoroughly over all inner pipe sections (mid & fly) At top end of base and mid pipe, grease fittings until grease relieves form opposite side. RECOMMEND LADDER SECTIONS AND WATERPIPE SECTIONS BE CLEANED OF ALL OLD GREASE

AND DIRT BEFORE APPLYING NEW COAT OF GREASE OR ATF (WATER PIPE SECTIONS) Do Not Perform the Following Apply grease or lubricant to ladder cables. Apply grease or lubricant to outriggers. Occasionally clean outrigger surfaces with a clean dry cloth.

Drain located directly behind the officer side rear outrigger

Always leave at least one nozzle open and open the pipe drain before retracting and bedding the ladder to avoid pressurizing the ladder pipe

Ensure all water is drained before retracting and bedding the aerial



Checking the Nyla Tron Blocks This is a two man operation that should take no longer than 30 minutes. Working with the ladder in the bedded position one person should extend the ladder while the

second person should be watching from the side for the alignment holes to see the screws and the pads.

Use the set of Allen wrenches that are issued by the shop. Check to make sure the screws are snug, if the screws are loose contact the shop so they can

ensure they are tightened at the proper torque. There are 12 screws on the bottom (6 per side) and there are also 12 screws at the front (6 per

side). Make sure the bolt is past flush with the pad; make sure it’s not protruding past the side of the

pad. If it is that would be an indicator that it is loose. Breathing Air The breathing air system supplies fresh air to fire fighters during operations. Air bottles are

mounted at the base of the aerial device.

All lines in the air system have a 3 to 1 safety margin. A regulator near the air bottle reduces the air pressure to approximately 100 PSI. All valves, fittings and hoses are constructed of corrosion resistant material. An integral pressure relief valve is set at 1.5 times the working pressure to relieve the airlines in the event of a pressure regulator failure. The Aerial Information System monitors breathing air system and displays a visual alert if system pressure starts to get low.

Breathing Air Operation 1. Open air valve on air bottle. 2. The high pressure gauge will show air bottle pressure. 3. Verify low pressure gauge reads approximately 100 PSI. 4. If the low pressure gauge does not read approximately 100 PSI, adjust the regulator by loosening

the lock-nut and turning the air inlet valve left or right to attain approximately 100 PSI. Tighten the locknut after adjustment.

5. Attach the breathing apparatus mask to one of the 100 PSI connections on the platform.

Testing for Priming Leaks If an air leak is suspected, cap suction hose and close discharge valve. Start engine, prime until compound gauge shows at least 15" of vacuum. Stop engine and watch compound gauge. If vacuum falls rapidly, it is an indication of an air leak or leaks. Air leaks nearly always cause a hissing sound and may often be located by listening for them. A leak in discharge valve may easily be detected by placing the palm of the hand over the discharge outlet for half a minute. If leaking, suction can be felt on your hand. Leaks in the suction connections, hose or couplings can often be heard after the pump has been primed by putting the ear against the suction hose or pipe.

Hydrostatic Testing Leaks which are invisible or inaudible can usually be detected by a hydrostatic test. This consists of connecting the pump to a source of water pressure -- not over 100 PSI. With water pressure on, open the discharge for a few seconds until water runs out. This allows air to escape. Then, by closing the discharge valve, the pressure rise in the pump will cause leaks to become visible.

PUMP OPERATION Working from Draft (Source of Water below Pump) Get as close to the water as possible. The pump will do better than its rated capacity with a 10 foot vertical lift, but as the vertical lift increases above 10 feet, the maximum pump capacity will fall off. Priming time will also be longer on high lifts. The principles apply to any make of pump. Attach suction line to pump, put strainer on the opposite end and submerge strainer in water. It is very desirable to submerge the strainer at least four times the pipe diameter below the water level. Use every precaution to keep strainer off bottom, also be sure to keep sand, leaves, or other foreign matter away from strainer. No pump has ever been built which will pump water with sand and foreign matter without some damage. However, this pump will handle such water with comparatively little damage.



1. Be sure engine cooling system is full of water. 2. Remove engine side panels (if so equipped). 3. Be sure all drain cocks are closed. 4. Be sure all suction line connections are tight. 5. Have discharge valve closed unless check valve is used. 6. Start engine - (see starting instructions). 7. Prime pump - (see priming instructions).

After pump is primed, open throttle gradually until the desired pressure is reached. As the throttle is opened, the pressure should build up as the engine pressure, either (1) the pump is running away from the water or (2) the pump has not been completely primed. The first of these two possibilities can occur only on high vertical lifts when pumping in large volume. In this case, close engine throttle slowly until pressure gauge begins to drop, and then run at this point. If more pressure is desired, reduce the size of number of discharge outlets. In the second case, when pump is not completely primed, continue to prime pump until all air is exhausted.

When working from draft, do not pump hard enough to cause a whirlpool at the strainer. This will allow air to get into the pump and result in rough operation and pulsation. If more water is needed, try to get better submergence for the strainer.

If a shut-down is desired for a short time, when working from draft, simply slow down to about 50 pounds and close discharge valve. Closing the discharge valve will prevent the pump from losing its water. To resume, simply open the discharge valve and throttle. On units equipped with a check valve on the discharge side of the pump, the pumping unit must be stopped.

When maintaining pressure without water flowing through discharge line, as when running with discharge valve closed, open the pump drain cock to bleed water from the pump. This will prevent overheating of water in the pump. Close drain cock when pumping is resumed.

Working from a Source of Water under Pressure If foreign matter is suspected, flush the outlet before attaching pump to source of water. Attach one end of suction hose to outlet, the other end to the pump.

1. Be sure engine cooling is full of water. 2. Remove engine side panels (if so equipped). 3. Be sure all drain cocks are closed. 4. Be sure all suction line connections are tight. 5. Close discharge valves. If pump is equipped with an automatic relief valve, turn the relief valve

control hand wheel in as far as it will go so that it is set above the normal operating pressure. 6. Open valve in suction line. 7. Start engine (see starting instructions). 8. Open discharge valve on units not equipped with check valve.

For operation under this heading, the addition of a compound gauge on the suction side of the pump will be found a useful accessory. The pump will not pump more than the hydrant will supply. Watch the pressure gauge as you open the engine throttle. If the engine speed continues to increase without a corresponding increase in pressure, you have passed the most efficient point. In this case, close the throttle slowly until the pressure begins to drop and the engine speed becomes reasonable. The only way to get more discharge pressure is to use smaller tips. The pump will not discharge more water than the capacity of the hydrant. For the sake of the water system, it is not good practice to reduce the pressure on the compound gauge below zero. Serious damage to the water mains may result from disregarding this caution.



Cold Weather Operation If unit is operated in cold weather - follow instructions in engine operation and maintenance manual.

In cold weather the pump should be drained each time it is stopped for any length of time.

Bumper-mounted Monitor

In-cab Monitor Controller (joystick)

From Pump Panel The fire pumping panel is located on the driver’s side. The purpose of this panel is to show the operating condition of both pump and engine. Key components of the pump panel include:

Mode of Operation: Pressure or RPM

Intake: One 3” Intake

Discharges: Two 3” Discharges

Drain: Main pump drain, bottom right under pump panel



TANKER FILLING AND DUMPING OPERATIONS

Filling Use the 4" intake at rear to fill for fastest fill from a hydrant or Engine.

Dumping Dumping can be performed three ways; directly off the back, right or left sides. This is done from the cab or at switch panels at rear of apparatus. Dump chute controls for the left and rear chutes are at the left rear of the apparatus. Dump chute controls for the right chute are at the right rear of the apparatus next to the drop tank lowering switch.

Rear Dump Chute

Tank Lowering Switch (yellow) & Right Dump Chute Controls

Left & Rear Dump Chute Controls



Drop Tank Deployment The drop tank lowering mechanism is located on the passenger side of the apparatus and has power control to lower for easy removal and set up. Lowering the drop tank is accomplished by operating the tank lowering switch (yellow switch) at the right rear of the apparatus.

Note: “If tank won’t lower, check to make sure passenger side compartment doors are shut.



OTHER CONTROLS In addition to the main control cluster in the cab, there are three important toggle switches located on the center dashboard just behind and above the monitor joystick.

EXH BRAKE: This switch turns exhaust brake on or off. Do not use the exhaust brake on ice, snow, wet asphalt, etc. as it could cause the rig to loose traction during a sudden hard downshift.

OFF ROAD: This switch engages the second axle of the rear differential when enabled. In the off

position, only the front axle of the rear two axles pulls. This is the set of tires you want to put snow chains on because they always pull. With the “Off Road” switch in the ENAB position, both rear axles pull. This is for use only in soft dirt or snow or ice. It is not to be used on hard, dry pavement or when making sharp turns.

PDL: This is used in conjunction with the OFF ROAD switch. This switch acts as a “Posi-track” feature for the twin screw rear differential. It is to be used only in soft soil, snow, or ice for extra pulling power, or to avoid getting stuck. It is not to be used on hard dry surfaces or when making sharp turns.

If diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) becomes low a light will appear on dash. Fluid should be kept at the station. Fill exhaust fluid up and be aware there can be bubbles in tank which can make it hard to see when it is full.

NOTE: Fill locations may vary from pictured. Fill cap will be blue in color.

Check the radiator through the opening in the top of the cowling forward of the engine opening. There is also a sight glass on the rear of the radiator to the right of center. The engine may shut down if low on coolant.

Check the oil on the right (officer's) side toward the middle of the motor. Fill with 15w30 motor oil. The capacity is 18.5 quarts.

Power Steering: Use power steering fluid only.

The Transmission Fill is on the left (driver's) side of the engine at the rear of the motor. It is a 6-speed automatic. Fill with Mercon transmission Fluid. Capacity is 18.5 quarts.



4X4 OPERATION 4X4 System Indicator Lights A 4x4 light and a LOW RANGE light are located at the lower right of the instrument cluster.

2H position: Neither the 4x4 or the LOW RANGE lights are lit. 2H position: Only the 4x4 light is lit. N position: Neither the 4x4 or the LOW RANGE lights are lit. 4L position: Both the 4x4 and the LOW RANGE lights are lit.

To Shift from 2H to 4H 1. Stop the vehicle and move the transfer case shift lever straight back to the 4H position, make sure

to manually lock front hubs before going into 4H. There are no automatic locking hubs

To Shift from 4H to 2H 1. Move the transfer case shift lever straight forward to the 2H position. This can be done at any

speed. Disengage the locking hubs manually.

2. Operating in 2H with the hubs locked increases fuel consumption, noise, vibration, and wear. For prolonged 2H operation on dry pavement, disengage the locked hubs

To Shift between 4H and 4L Stop the vehicle and place the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL. Push the transfer case shift knob down (toward the ground) and at the same time, pull or push the lever straight forward or rearward (depending on the desired position, 4H or 4L) in order to shift the transfer case. This shift should be in one continuous motion without pausing in the NEUTRAL position. Pausing in the NEUTRAL position can result in gear clash and difficult shifting. If, while shifting between 4H and 4L, the transfer case gets stuck in the NEUTRAL position or is difficult to shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be necessary to let the vehicle roll slightly and/or turn off the ignition.

To Shift Into and Out of Neutral 1. To shift into NEUTRAL, stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake. Place the automatic

transmission into the NEUTRAL position. From either the 4L or 4H position, push the transfer case shift knob downward (toward the ground) and at the same time, move the transfer case shift lever to the NEUTRAL position. The NEUTRAL position should only be used for vehicle towing.

WARNING: When the transfer case is in the NEUTRAL position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of the drive line. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even with the transmission in the PARK position. Always set the parking brake.

2. To shift from NEUTRAL to either 4H or 4L, stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake. Place the automatic transmission into the NEUTRAL position. Push the transfer case knob down and at the same time move the transfer case shift lever to the desired position. If it is difficult to shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be necessary to let the vehicle roll slightly and/or turn off the ignition.

Additional Considerations

At fire scene to conserve battery:

Turn off unnecessary lights Turn off A/C

Use of 4-wheel drive:

4-wheel drive should be disengaged when moved from off road to hard pavement. This will extend the life of tires and chassis of the vehicle. NOTE: If on hard pavement, in 4-wheel drive, do not exceed 20 mph.



OPERATION OF PUMP

Starting Procedures 1. Pull choke out. (A warm engine requires

less choking than a cold engine).

2. Move the throttle control to the mid-throttle position.

3. Press starter button. The best starter life is provided to using short starting cycles of several seconds. Prolonged cranking of more than 15 seconds can damage the starter motor.

4. When engine starts, release the choke.

5. To stop engine, move throttle lever to the idle position and push the stop button.

NOTE: For prolonged running of engine without flowing water, the TANK FILL and BY-PASS valve should be pulled and the engine should be throttled down.

OPERATING FROM SOURCE OF WATER UNDER PRESSURE If foreign matter is suspected, flush outlet before attaching, pump to source of water. Attach one end of suction hose to outlet and the other end to the pump.

1. Open supply line valve. 2. Start engine. 3. Open discharge valve (if used). 4. Open throttle gradually until desired pressure is obtained.

Watch pressure gauge as you open the engine throttle. If the engine speed continues to increase without a corresponding increase in pressure, you have passed the most efficient point. In this case, close the throttle slowly until the pressure begins to drop and the engine speed becomes reasonable. The only way to get more discharge pressure is to use smaller tips. BUMPER TURRET OPERATIONS

1. Engage the pump 2. Open tank to turret valve lever on the back 3. Flip monitor switches inside the cab to allow

use of joystick. 4. Use joystick to move turret up, down, left, and

right. 5. Pushing the red trigger on the front of the joy

stick will enable turret to open up and pump water.

6. To change pattern of stream you push the lever on the back of the joystick to the right for straight stream and left for fog stream.



In-cab Bumper Turret Controller (joystick)

Front Bumper Winch: It is used self-extraction of the brush pumper or to assist other brush pumpers. Max load for this winch is 8000 lbs.

HOSE REELS There are two types of hose reels on the rear.
