Demo #3708 Smeal <strong>Fire</strong> Apparatus Co. 105’ Heavy Duty <strong>Aerial</strong><br />
This area shall be accessible when the cab is tilted.<br />
COMPARTMENT VENTING<br />
Each body compartment shall be properly vented in a manner that will reduce the amount of dirt<br />
and water that may enter the compartment. Venting shall be directly to the atmosphere rather than<br />
into another compartment, which would only spread moisture throughout the body rather than<br />
dissipate it. The vent opening, which is located in the lower corner of the compartment, shall have<br />
a filter which is easily removable to allow cleaning it<br />
Additionally, each compartment shall be equipped with drain holes to allow standing water to exit.<br />
HEAT DEFLECTOR SHIELD, EXHAUST<br />
<strong>Inc</strong>reased standards for emission have caused most exhaust temperatures to increase. To keep<br />
the exhaust heat from adversely affecting anything stored in the body, a deflector shield shall be<br />
provided to aid in dissipating the heat.<br />
LEFT SIDE MODULAR RUNNING BOARD<br />
A modular running board shall be installed on the left side of the pump compartment module. The<br />
running board shall be constructed of non-slip treadbrite. The outside edge of the running board<br />
shall be flush with the rub rail that is installed on the body to maintain a uniform appearance.<br />
All running boards shall be installed with sufficient support to form a sturdy, non-deflecting step<br />
area for personnel.<br />
RIGHT SIDE MODULAR RUNNING BOARD<br />
A modular running board shall be installed on the right side of the pump compartment module. The<br />
running board shall be constructed of non-slip treadbrite. The outside edge of the running board<br />
shall be flush with the rub rail that is installed on the body to maintain a uniform appearance.<br />
All running boards shall be installed with sufficient support to form a sturdy, non-deflecting step<br />
area for personnel.<br />
ULTRA STAINLESS MARUTEX® SCREWS<br />
Stainless steel screws shall be provided throughout the body in locations such as: overlays, pump<br />
panels, and other numerous hardware mounting locations. In these locations the following screw<br />
specification shall apply.<br />
The special ingredient in Ultra Stainless is Marutex®, which adds 2% molybdenum (moly) to 410<br />
stainless. Moly is the significant component of 316 stainless that provides extra corrosion<br />
resistance. The moly is now added to 410 self drilling screws to produce Ultra Stainless. This<br />
combination provides for unprecedented corrosion resistance combined with hardness for drilling.<br />
Marutex® screws are tempered and quenched; regular T-140 self-drilling screws are case<br />
hardened. The additional carbon in Marutex® provides hardness for better drilling.<br />
In certified testing the Marutex® screws have shown far superior corrosion resistance than that of<br />
410 stainless, and 304 Bimetal screws. The screws were tested using two methods, the first was a<br />
500 hour salt spray test, and the second was the European Air Pollution Test using the Kesterich<br />
method. In this test a combination of condensation water and atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide<br />
was sprayed on the screws. In both tests the Marutex® screws did not show any signs of rust, the<br />
410 and 304 samples on the other hand did.<br />
