1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular

hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:

2.0 SAFETY

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor

or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

WARNING

The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.

Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned on.

Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.

WARNING

The Extend-A-Gun may be used only in either the fully raised or fully lowered position. The unit may

become damaged if the water is turned on in any position other than fully extended or retracted.

CAUTION Damage may occur if the truck drives under a low hanging object while the Extend-A-Gun RC is

extended. Shutting off the water downstream of an Extend-A-Gun in the raised position traps water

preventing retraction. Drain water from the piping and retract the Extend-A-Gun RC before moving

the apparatus.

Pressurizing a retracted waterway with closed shutoffs or caps on the monitor discharge disables

waterway extension. Relieving pressure trapped in the waterway will restore the lift function.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Extend-A-Gun RC is a remote controlled telescoping waterway designed to maximize firefighter safety while expanding the

capabilities of deck mounted Master Stream devices. Its function is to elevate a mounted Master Stream device above other equipment

on the apparatus, providing greater clearance and freedom of movement to the device. Operators control elevation, both to and from the

storage position, through any of the connected operator stations. The Extend-A-Gun RC features a hard coat anodized aluminum finish,

built in sensor for connection to “monitor raised” light, and waterproof electronics. The Extend-A-Gun RC is available 3” or 4” diameter

waterways with either 12” or 18” limits of travel.

3.1 SPECIFICATIONS

Table 3.1

3.2 USE WITH SALT WATER

Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the

equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.

4.0 BRACKET SETS

For safe dependable service, the Extend-A-Gun MUST be securely mounted. To make the Extend-A-Gun as versatile as possible, three

mounting bracket kits are offered. Each kit has a different upper bracket. The lower bracket is the same in all three.

Task Force Tips strongly recommends that Extend-A-Gun be installed using the bracket sets sold by Task Force Tips that are designed

for this purpose. The Task Force Tips bracket sets are designed to fit the Extend-A-Gun outer tube very closely to prevent distortion of

the outer tube and to give it adequate support.

4.2 SELECTION OF STRUCTURAL SUPPORT ON FIRE TRUCKS

When the Extend-A-Gun is in the extended position, the nozzle reaction force can exceed 3000 lbs. These loads are transferred directly

to the mounting brackets and the structural members to which they are attached. It is crucial that the structural members selected can

withstand these forces.

4.3 BRACKET INSTALLATION

4.3.1 TUBE BRACKET INSTALLATION (EXTEND-A-GUN RC3 ONLY)

This kit contains a six inch square steel tube with two U-bolts to be used as the upper bracket, and a saddle bracket similar to a heavy

duty muffler clamp for the lower bracket. Both brackets must be used. This kit is designed for factory installation on new equipment. The

tube bracket is welded onto the truck tubular framework as shown on the Tube Bracket Welding Diagram. (see section 4.3.1.1) The

lower bracket, as shown in the Saddle Bracket Welding Diagram (see section 4.3.2.1), is welded to an additional support and clamped

as low at possible on the bottom of the Extend-A-Gun tube. Make sure the welds are capable of withstanding the forces shown on the

SIDE LOADS AT MOUNTING POINTS worksheet. (see section 5.0) The Extend-A-Gun may be installed in the brackets after the truck is

painted. Use Loctite supplied in the kit on U-bolt threads. Torque the nuts on the U-bolts used in the tube (upper) to 15-17 lbf·ft. Torque

the nuts on the U-bolts used in the saddle (lower) to 36-40 lbf·ft.

4.3.2 SADDLE BRACKET INSTALLATION

This kit contains two steel saddle brackets and U-bolts, and is designed for factory installation on new equipment. Both brackets must be

used. To minimize stress, the brackets should be as far apart as possible when clamped to the Extend-A-Gun tube. The welds must be

able to withstand the forces shown on the SIDE LOADS AT MOUNTING POINTS worksheet. (see section 5.0) The Extend-A-Gun may

be installed in the brackets after the truck is painted. Use Loctite supplied in the kit on U-bolt threads. Torque the nuts used on the U-

bolts to 36-40 lbf·ft.

4.3.2.1 SADDLE BRACKET WELDING

4.3.3 PLATE BRACKET INSTALLATION

This kit may be used in either new or retro-fit installations.

The top plate with its bracket may be bolted above or below

an existing deck.

The lower saddle bracket is installed as shown in the Saddle

Bracket Welding Diagram. (see section 4.3.2.1) Both

brackets must be used. To minimize stress, the brackets

should be as far apart as possible when clamped to the

Extend-A-Gun tube.

Refer to the SIDE LOADS AT MOUNTING POINTS

worksheet (see section 5.0) to ensure the mounting points

can withstand these forces. Use Loctite® supplied in the kit

on U-bolt threads. Torque the nuts used on the U-bolts to

36-40 lbf·ft.
