Proposal Number PSDF #P09-0004
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
The steering column shall be a DOUGLAS or equal tilt / telescopic type with an integral high beam / turn
signal control switch. The column shall have self-canceling design for the turn signal switch. A 4-way
warning "Hazard" light switch shall be mounted on the column. For safety, a rubber boot shall be installed to
cover the steering shaft from the dash to the floor.
The steering wheel shall be a minimum of 18-inch diameter, covered with a padded absorbite finish. A lever
on the left side of the steering column shall control the telescopic feature of the steering column.
FASTENERS
All cab exterior fasteners shall be stainless steel type fastened to the cab with nutserts.
BATTERY ACCESS
The rear cab steps shall have a removable kick panel, providing access to the batteries for routine
maintenance and inspection.
CAB CORROSION TREATMENT
The cab shall have a corrosion preventative material conforming to Mil Spec C-16173-C, Grade 1, applied
during and after construction. A 10-year warranty against perforation due to rust or corrosion shall be
furnished for the cab.
EMI/RFI PROTECTION
The apparatus shall incorporate the latest designs in the electrical system with state of the art components to
insure that radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI) emissions are suppressed at the source.
The apparatus proposed shall have the ability to operate in the environment typically found in fire ground
operations with no adverse effects from EMI/RFI.
EMI/RFI susceptibility is controlled by utilizing components that are fully protected and wiring that utilizes
shielding and loop back grounds where required. The apparatus shall be bonded through wire braided
ground straps. Relays and solenoids that are suspect to generating spurious electromagnetic radiation are
diode protected to prevent transient voltage spikes.
BATTERY BOX TRAY
The battery box trays shall be painted steel. The battery hold down brackets hardware shall be black powder
coated to resist corrosion.
BATTERY BOX COVER
To reduce road spray a sand paper abraded finish aluminum cover shall be installed on each battery box.
