• transmit wheel speed data to an electronic processor,which shall detect approaching wheel
lock-up and instantly modulate (or pump)the brake pressure up to five(5)times per second to
prevent wheel lock-up. Each wheel shall be individually controlled. To improve field

threshold. When critical lateral acceleration thresholds are exceeded,RSC intervenes to
regulate the vehicle's deceleration functions. The added feature of ESC is to automatically •
intervene to reduce the risk of the vehicle rotating while in a curve or taking evasive action,
prevents drift out through selective braking, and controlling and reducing vehicle speed when
lateral acceleration limits are about to be exceeded.
Intervention by the system occurs in three forms - engine,retarder and brake control. The ESC
system uses several sensors to monitor the vehicle. These include a steering wheel angle sensor,
lateral accelerometer, and yaw position sensor. ESC constantly monitors driving conditions and
intervenes if critical lateral acceleration is detected or if the vehicle begins to spin due to low
friction surfaces. The system provides control of engine and retarder torque as well as
automatically controlling individual wheels to counteract both over steer and under steer.
To further improve vehicle drive characteristics,the unit shall be fitted with Automatic Traction
Control(ATC). This system shall control drive wheel slip during acceleration from a resting
point. An extra solenoid valve shall be added to the ABS system. The system shall control the

The cab shall be constructed from 3/16"(0.188") 3003 H14 aluminum alloy plate roof, floor,
and outer skins welded to a high-strength 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extruded sub frame. Wall
supports and roof bows are 6061 T6 aluminum alloy. This combination of a high-strength,
welded aluminum inner structure surrounded on all sides by load-bearing,welded aluminum
outer skins provides a cab that is strong;lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable.
The inner structure shall be designed to create an interlocking internal"roll-cage"effect by
welding two (2) 3"x 3"x 0.188"wall-thickness 6063-T5 aluminum upright extrusions between
the 3"x 3"x 0.375"wall-thickness 6061-T6 roof crossbeam and the 2.25"x 3"x 0.435"wall-
thickness 6063-T6 sub frame structure in the front. An additional two(2)aluminum upright
extrusions within the back-of-cab structure shall be welded between the rear roof perimeter
extrusion and the sub frame structure in the rear to complete the interlocking framework. The
four(4)upright extrusions --two(2) in the front and two(2) in the rear-- shall be designed to

components. This test shall be performed to assure the structural integrity of the weldment.
After the aerial is assembled and installed on the vehicle, an operational inspection shall be
made and the aerial shall be tested to comply with the applicable standards in the current
editions of NFPA 1901 and NFPA 1911.
In addition to the above tests,the aerial shall successfully complete the following operational
tests:
1)The completed apparatus shall be placed on a firm, level surface with the aerial stabilizers
extended and down. The aerial shall lift a test weight equal to the rated tip load capacity, as
specified herein,with the aerial at full extension, 0 degrees elevation, and rotated 90 degrees to
either side of the truck chassis. The test weight shall be lifted from 0 degrees to 15-20 degrees.
The test weight shall be suspended from a position equal to the position of the outermost rung of
the fly section or the center of the platform when so equipped. The aerial shall lift the test
weight smoothly and evenly with no twisting or jerking. This test shall be performed at the
normal hydraulic system relief valve setting.No temporary adjustments to the relief valve shall
be allowed.
2)The completed apparatus shall be placed on a firm, level surface with the aerial ladder
stabilizers extended and down. A test weight equal to 1.5 times the aerial's rated tip load
capacity, shall be suspended from a position equal to the position of the outermost rung of the
fly section(or center of the platform when so equipped),with the aerial in the straight-ahead
position. The aerial shall then be rotated a full 360 degrees around the vehicle with the aerial at
full extension and at 0 degrees elevation(or high enough to clear vehicle-mounted equipment).
The aerial and vehicle shall show no signs of instability. This test shall be performed with no
water in the tank, or hose, ladders,or removable equipment that would act as a counterbalance
in order to simulate a worst-case condition.
3)The completed apparatus shall be placed on a firm surface having a minimum 5 degrees side
slope with the aerial stabilizers extended and down.A test weight equal to 1.5 times the aerial's
rated tip load capacity, shall be suspended from a position equal to the position of the outermost
rung of the fly section(or center of the platform when so equipped), with the aerial in the
straight-ahead position..The aerial shall then be rotated 90 degrees to the downhill side with the
aerial at full extension,0 degrees elevation(or high enough to clear vehicle-mounted
equipment). The aerial and vehicle shall show no signs of instability, and all of the stabilizers
shall remain firmly on the ground. This test shall be performed with no water in the tank; or
hose, ladders, or removable equipment that would act as a counterbalance in order to simulate a
worst-case condition.
4) The completed apparatus shall be placed on a fine, level surface with the aerial stabilizers
extended and down. A test weight equal to 2.0 times the aerial's rated tip load capacity, shall be
suspended from a position equal to the position of the outermost rung of the fly section(or
center of the platform when so equipped),with the aerial in the straight-ahead position at full
extension and at 8 degrees elevation(or high enough to clear vehicle-mounted equipment).
After ten(10)minutes,the weight shall be removed, and the aerial shall be inspected for any
abnormal twist or deflection.
5)The completed apparatus shall be placed on a firm, level surface with the aerial stabilizers
extended and down. The aerial will be positioned at full extension at 0 degrees elevation at some
position out of the travel rest and off the side or rear of the truck. For units without a pre-piped
waterway to the tip, a test weight of 220#shall be applied horizontally and perpendicular to the
tip of the aerial at the location of the outermost rung. The rotation brake shall not release nor
shall the aerial's deflection exceed the manufacturer's accepted tolerances. For aerials with pre-
piped waterways,a test weight of 350#will be applied at the location of water nozzle.
Upon satisfactory completion of all inspections and tests,an independent third-party inspection
firm shall submit a certificate indicating that all specified standards have been met.
