The Fargo Fire Department will provide the builder with a picture of the lettering desired at the pre build
conference.
CHEVRON STRIPING, REAR OF APPARATUS, NFPA COMPLIANT
A minimum of 48 square feet of 6" multiple diagonal reflective stripes shall be provided, full width at rear
of apparatus body. Stripes shall form "Chevrons", using alternating red and yellow reflective stripes, only
interrupted by the rear apparatus lighting, handrails, steps, and door hardware. Chevron pattern shall be
applied to flat metal surface, prior to installation of the above specified bolt-on (removable) accessories.
LINE VOLTAGE SYSTEM
120V/240V ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ACCESSORIES
The following specified 120/240 volt alternating current system shall meet the requirements of NFPA
1901, as it relates to vehicle mounted systems, including but not limited to: Materials, Grounding, Over-
current Protection, Wiring Methods, Wiring identification, Wet Locations, Dry Locations, Receptacle
Listings, Electrical System Testing, Placarding, and Operational Testing.
120/240 VOLT HYDRAULIC GENERATOR SET - HARRISON 20KW MODEL 20.0 MPC-16D
The generator system shall be a Harrison model 20.0 MPC rated at 20 kilowatts, 166 amps @ 120VAC
and 83 amps @ 240 VAC, 1 Phase, 60 Hertz, or approved equal.
The motor/generator shall be placed in a tray frame assembly which affords protection to the components
and provides a unitized mounting module containing motor/generator, reservoir, oil cooler, and filtration
system. The generator shall be a commercial type. The reservoir shall include an oil level gauge, fill cap,
and fill strainer.
The system must be capable of producing the rated full-load power when driven from the vehicle PTO
from high idle to maximum engine speed.
The system shall be 24" long, 29" wide, and 19" high, weighing no more than 488 lbs.
The system shall include a digital meter package that includes frequency, a voltage, and the two
amperages. The system shall also indicate/have: generator run hours, over current indication, over
temperature indication, and "power-on" indication.
A Chelsea "Hot Shift" 10-bolt transmission power take-off shall be of the heavy duty type, mounted
directly on the transmission of the chassis. The driveline shall be hollow tube type, with heavy duty
universals and splined shaft for movement between the chassis components and the generator. The
engagement of the power take off shall be in the chassis cab with rocker switch and pilot light labeled
GENERATOR PTO ENGAGED to note engagement of the power take off. An engraved nameplate
indicating the chassis transmission shift selector position to be used for generator operation shall be
provided in the cab, located so that it can easily be read from the driver’s position. A switch shall be
furnished, separate of the PTO switch, to energize the generator. This will allow the PTO to be "constant
on" to allow the fluid to warm before cold weather operations.
