CAPACITIES & CAPACITIES & LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS

All capacities and limitations are based on the unit being operated on firm, level ground up to a 5% grade, 2 degrees, (Front to Rear and Side to Side) with stabilizers extended and properly set. The following listed rated capacities and limitations are applicable:

CAPACITIES & CAPACITIES & LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS

Truck is considered properly set when the weight is off the suspension system. (Bulge out of the tires)

CAPACITIES & LIMITATIONS

Bearing pads are always to be used under each stabilizer shoe (NO EXCEPTIONS)

CAPACITIES & LIMITATIONSCAPACITIES & LIMITATIONS

1. The unit, fully extended, tip unsupported, in any position of operation from 9 degrees below horizontal to 85 degrees above horizontal. The Unit is rated to resist the reaction of the nozzle in any normal position of operation, discharging up to 1000 GPM,


2. The unit, fully extended, tip unsupported, in any position of operation from 0 degrees to 75 degrees above horizontal. The Unit is rated to resist the reaction of the nozzle in any normal position of operation, discharging up to 1000 GPM, plus a rated tip load capacity of 250 lbs. or 500 lbs. evenly distributed over the entire Ladder.


3. With the ladder only in use (No water delivery), tip unsupported, fully extended, between 0 and 45 degrees the unit has a rated tip load capacity of 500 lbs. or 1000 lbs. evenly distributed over the length of the ladder.


4. With the ladder only in use (No water delivery) fully extended, tip unsupported, at any angle between 45 and 75 degrees, the unit has a rated tip load capacity of 750 lbs. or 1500 lbs. evenly distributed over the length of the ladder.


What is the capacity below 0 degrees?

250 Lbs.


5. At any angle above horizontal with tip supported (No Water Delivery) the unit has a rated tip load capacity not to exceed 1600 lbs. evenly distributed over the length of the ladder.

Even though the tip may be rested on something this is not something we recommend.


Remember that the Maximum recommended climbing angle is 75 degrees.


Water tower operations may be preformed up to 85 degrees

AERIAL OPERATIONS

AERIAL OPERATIONS

Aerial Power First Then Aerial PTO switch.

STABILIZATION1. It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to set the stabilizers properly before making any movement of the “Tele-Squirt” from the nested position.2. A stabilizer/boom interlock system is provided to aid the operator in proper stabilization.3. The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent operation of the booms from the stowed position.4. A red light is provided to indicate that the stabilizers are not extended or properly set. A green light is provided to indicate when this has happen and it is permissible to operate boom. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BOOM TO BE OPERATED WITHOUT ALL STABILIZERS EXTENDED AND PROPERLY SET.

It is possible to set INTERLOCK Light with out properly setting Stabilizers

IMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN SETTING THE STABILIZERS

STABILIZATIONIMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN SETTING THE STABILIZERS

Bearing pads are always to be used under each stabilizer shoe (NO EXCEPTIONS)


First determine the high and low of the Apparatus. Remember the Black Ball is weighted and will always go to the low side of the Apparatus.


Always set the low side Stabilizers first, just to make contact with the Bearing pad.

Then set the high side stabilizers, just making contact with the Bearing pad.

Using the center controls raise the truck extending both stabilizers at the same time.

Continue to extend the Stabilizers until:1. You have raised the Tailboard 4 – 5 inches or

2. The Green Interlock light comes on then continue for another three seconds.

STABILIZATIONIMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN SETTING THE

STABILIZERS

Once the Stabilizers have been set, visually check to make sure that everything is correctly set.

Interlock light on. Stabilizer on Pad?

Weight off the suspension system?

STABILIZATION

When it is necessary to set a stabilizer leg or legs on a curb, etc. take into account the shortened fulcrum point. The shortened fulcrum point reduces the “Tele-Squrt” stability. The reduced stability can be compensated for by any one or combination of the following:

STABILIZATION

Where possible, limit the use of the “Tele-Squrt” to operation over the rear or front of the truck, not exceeding 45 degrees either side of the centerline of through the truck.

STABILIZATION

Where operation is necessary over the side with stabilizers on curb:

1. Work with less than maximum payload capacity. 2. Do not work with booms in maximum reach position, i.e., keep booms and ladder weight closer to the centerline of rotation.

OPERATIONS ON INCLINES

GRADES UP TO 5% (0 - 2 1/2 degrees)

GRADES FROM 5% TO 10% ( 2 1/2 - 6 degrees)

GRADES GREATER THAN 10%


GRADES UP TO 5%Either front to rear or sideways, no limitations are placed on the unit. The unit can be operated at full capacities.

0 – 2.2 degrees.


ON GRADES FROM 6% TO 10% (3 1/2 - 6 degrees)

1. Spot unit with chassis headed either up or down hill. Do not spot the unit crossways on the grade.

2. Operating as a water tower, keep the direction of the water stream pointed in-line with the Boom or downhill.

OPERATIONS ON INCLINESON GRADES GREATER

THAN 10 %

. Spot unit with chassis headed either up or down hill, it is preferable to head unit up hill. Never spot unit crossways on the grade.

. Restrict operation of the “Tele-Squrt” over front or rear of truck, not exceeding 45 degrees either side of the centerline through the truck.

. Operating as a water tower, keep direction of water stream pointed downhill.

BOOM OPERATIONS

Once Stabilizers are set we are ready to operate the Boom.

Turn Ladder Control to the ON Position. Green light will come on and Boom may be operated.

BOOM OPERATIONS

Boom operations may done one of two ways:1. Use the One Hand Control2. Or the Wireless Remote.

NOZZLE OPERATIONS

Nozzle operations may done one of two ways:1. Use the controls on Main Panel2. Or the Wireless Remote.

Pump or Boom ?
