7.0 MOUNTING MONITORS
A Task Force Tips Crossfi re® monitor may be mounted in one of two ways. We recommend that it be mounted directly on Extend-A-
Gun models XG12PL-XL, XG12VL-XL, XG18PL-XL, or XG18VL-XL, which have integral Crossfi re bases built in. Alternatively, it can
be mounted on Extend-A-Gun models XG12PL- PL, XG12VL-PL, XG18PL-PL, or XG18VL-PL using Task Force Tips part XFF-APL
Truck Mount Base, which fi ts only the Task Force Tips Crossfi re.
Akron Apollo® monitors may be mounted on Extend-A-Gun models XG12PL-PL, XG12VL-PL, XG18PL-PL, or XG18VL-PL in one
of two ways. We recommend that the direct mount fl ange be screwed directly to the 3” pipe threads on the Extend-A-Gun. The base
may be modifi ed by having the fl ange turned down to 5” diameter at your local machine shop. Alternatively, the direct mount fl ange
can be bolted to Task Force Tips part XFF-CPL Companion Flange (or equivalent) with out modifi cation. Make sure that the fl ange
bolts do not interfere with the Extend-A-Gun latch mechanism.
Elkhart Stinger® monitors must be bolted to Extend-A-Gun models XG12PL-PL, XG12VL-PL, XG18PL-PL, or XG18VL-PL using
Task Force Tips part XFF-CPL Companion Flange (or equivalent). Make sure the fl ange bolts do not interfere with the Extend-A-Gun
latch mechanism.
CAUTION
The Extend-A-Gun may become damaged if it is allowed to freeze while containing water. Always
drain after use to avoid damage and possible loss of use.
8.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The Extend-A-Gun may be used in either the extended or retracted position, but not in-between.
Make sure the slide bar is down and both pawls are fl ush with the housing before use. The word
“UNLOCKED” located on the top of the pawls should not be visible. When in use, the pawls are
locked in position and prevent the latch mechanism from operating.
WARNING
Do not attempt to raise the Extend-A-Gun with water pressure. Rapid upward movement of the
Extend-A-Gun can cause injury to persons by striking them, or knocking them off the fi re truck. It
can also cause damage to the Extend-A-Gun, monitor, or other equipment.
CAUTION
Do not lift the slide bar when fl owing water. The mechanism will not unlatch, but the mechanism
can be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not lift the slide bar to lower the deck gun with out supporting the weight of the deck gun. It
can fall and cause injury.
