3.0 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.
WARNING
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. For the Extend-A-Gun to operate
safely and properly, it must be installed in such a way that the brackets can withstand the forces
resulting from the nozzle reaction force. The Task Force Tips bracket sets are designed to fi t
the Extend-A-Gun outer tube very closely to prevent distortion of the outer tube and to give it
adequate support.

TUBE BRACKET WELDING
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 muffl er clamp for the lower bracket. Both brackets must be used. This kit is designed primarily for installation in trucks as
they are being built at the factory. The tube bracket may be welded onto the truck tubular framework, as shown on the Tube Bracket
Welding Diagram. The lower bracket, as shown in the Saddle Bracket Welding Diagrams, should be 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 Diagram. The Extend-A-Gun may be installed in the brackets after the truck is painted.
Use Loctite, supplied in kit on U-bolt threads, and torque nuts on upper U-bolts to 15-17 ft-lbf, torque nuts on lower U-bolts to 36-40
ft-lbf.
