Q

Lockout Cylinders 2001 (one truck) - 2009

4 hydraulic cylinders

used to lockout movement from the fifth wheel during aerial ops.

must be deployed after the outriggers have been set

Due to uneven pavement, there may be instance when the two front or two rear lockout cylinders will not make contact with the fifth wheel once fully extended. This does not reduce the capacity or limits of the aerial ladder.

The intermittent delay interval is adjusted using the intermittent wiper control. Slide the control knob all the way down for the maximum delay between wipes. Move the control knob up to decrease the delay. With the knob all the way up, the wipers operate continuously at low speed. If the wiper switch on the turn signal lever is toward the LO position, the wipers will operate at low speed, overriding the intermittent delay feature.

  2. Set parking brakes and chock wheels.
  3. Remove the remote cab tilt control from the storage location and insert the plug into the receptacle on the left front cab access stepwell.
  4. Turn the battery switch and the ignition switch to the ON position.
  5. Hold the switch on the cab remote tilt control in the RAISE position to lift the cab. (Releasing pressure on the switch will stop the cab from lifting). If the hydraulic motor is running but the cab will not lift, check to make sure that the pump flow control knob on the lift pump itself is turned clockwise until it stops.
  6. Continue holding the switch in the RAISE position until the cab has reached the full tilt position (approximately ___ degrees). The tilt strut lock will swing into place when the cab reaches full tilt position. Raise the cab only enough to allow the tilt strut lock to engage and observe that the lock is securely in place. DO NOT LOWER THE CAB ONTO THE SAFETY LOCK.

Q
In the event of electrical demand exceeding electrical supply, the first electrical load to be shed will be the air conditioning. This component will be turned off when electrical system voltage drops below 12.8 Volts. It is important to note that at minimum, when ALL electrical accessories are turned on and engine is running
at idle (500-750 rpm), the alternator will be unable to keep up with the electrical demands placed on it thereby causing the air conditioning to be turned off. At idle with ALL electrical accessories ON, system voltage can drop well below 12.0 Volts. Even with the engine high idle engaged with all electrical accessories "ON", system voltage will vary between 12.9 to 13.1 Volts. This is only a few tenths of a volt above the "shed" voltage where the first electrical accessory is turned off. When there is a heavy demand placed on the electrical system such as
occurs when idling on scene, always engage the high idle feature of the engine. This will help prevent shut down of any electrical accessories by the electrical load manager when electrical demand is high.
