General QTAC Mounting and Fastening
Figure 5
– Mounting Options
Ensure that your QTAC unit is secured to the carrying vehicle. Two main mounting
methods are available for your QTAC unit:
1. The preferred method of securing the QTAC to the bed of the vehicle is to mount
the QTAC at the flanges (
Figure 5, Item3
), located at the bottom of the water tank
on each side. The flanges have been machined to accept a variety of mounting
hardware options.
2. If using straps to secure the QTAC to the bed of the vehicle, feeding the strap
around two grab rail posts, is preferred. This distributes the downward force over
a greater area. (
Figure 5, Item 4
)
Securing the strap around a single grab rail post is acceptable. (
Figure 5, Item 5
)
Securing the strap around the upper grab handle
is not
an approved method to
secure the QTAC (
Figure 5, Item1
). This will result in warping of the plastic
handle, and will eventually lead to handle failure.
NOTE:
It is important that QTAC EMS models are securely bolted to the UTV bed for
patient transport
