C. Mounting Suggestions
A "WArning" label (part number 3097-000-110) is supplied with each QuiC-LifT System. The
pressure sensitive or metal label must be mounted in close proximity to the ladder control panel. All
apparatus operators must be instructed to keep the area in front of the ladders clear of personnel when the
System is being raised or lowered.
Before starting the installation you should make sure you have all necessary tools and materials. This
should include matching touch-up paint, edge trim (for cut outs), fender protector cloths and removable tape
(to protect paint), necessary hardware, wire connectors, cable ties, burr remover, vacuum cleaner (for metal
filings), loom (for wiring), drills, drill gun, wrenches, step ladders, etc. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient
time to make a proper installation. you will probably have to remove the hose from the hose bed.
NOTE: The hydraulic pump is designed for use in the normal operating termpature range of
-20 to +160 degrees Fahrenheit. Please review your application with the factory for
uses below -20 degrees.
Following these simple instructions should make your installation easy and professional.
III. GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The Ladder Access System was designed for ladders meeting the current nfPA 1931 standard. Systems
accommodate most ladder combinations (see Section 1, under "noTe" for exceptions).
A. Mounting Points
The HLAS unit should be positioned so that an equal number of rungs of the ladder extend on either
side of the ladder rack. mounting holes have been provided on both the vertical and horizontal mounting
surfaces of the base casting. Although the device may be securely mounted from the horizontal surface
only, it is a great advantage to be able to use mounting bolts on the vertical surface as well. The unit should
be attached to an integral structural member of the vehicle. If this is not possible, then a one-half inch thick
aluminum backing plate should be used. for mounting, 3/8" bolts should be used.
B. Electrical Control Panel
The electrical control panel should be mounted in a water-proof compartment. Dimensions are
provided for locating the mounting holes (see figure 8, page 11).
Several "Lock out" circuits may be considered to prevent accidents from occurring. An ideal "Lock
out" system would only permit operation when the ignition switch is on, the transmission is in park, and
any obstructing compartment doors are shut. Because of the higher amperage required to operate the
System, a separate "Lock out" circuit should be used. The "Lock out" circuit should be separated from the
QuiC-LifT System circuit by a relay. This will prevent damage to the existing wiring system. The
QuiC-LifT System circuit should be protected by an 80 amp fuse (see figure 4, page 6).
