Q

A variable displacement pump operates on what could be defined as a supply and demand principle. Pressure will increase in the circuit to that required for moving the actuators and performing elements, integral of the pump, and will not allow pressure to build up beyond the circuit’s operating requirement. Relief valves also protect components from damage due to excessive pressure build up.

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.

Proper function of the system is as follows:

  1. If the truck is short-set, the appropriate Outrigger Not Deployed light will be illuminated in red at the pedestal. To operate any ladder function, the guarded Interlock Override switch must be held continuously while operating ladder controls.
  2. In order to allow for cradling of the ladder, there is approximately ___ degrees of rotation travel past the vehicle centerline. This small angle will not allow the ladder to top or become unstable over the other side.
  3. With the ladder in the cradle, the ladder is near the rotational limit. Both rotational directions are allowed but swinging toward the short-set side will be cut-out after
    approximately ___ degrees of rotation.
  4. At that point only rotation away from the short-set side is possible.

94
Q

For rotational movement, in addition to the Blocking Solenoid, it will be necessary to activate the LEFT or RIGHT Rotation Interlock Override (page 92). Its two buttons are located just forward and to the right of the turntable step. With the blocking solenoid in the OUT or CLOSED position, push either the LEFT or RIGHT Rotation Interlock Button while at the same time moving the main Rotation Control Lever the same LEFT or RIGHT position. Rotating the ladder with the Override Controls bypasses all safety systems and will allow the ladder to move into normally restricted positions. Under no circumstances should the ladder be rotated into the side of the apparatus with a short-set outrigger.
