Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury or death.
• Read all SmartDock Installation / User’s Guide instructions before installing or
using SmartDock.
• SmartDock is to be used for Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) storage
only.
• Only install SmartDocks into approved seats.
• Keep air pack harness loose when seated and belted. Bottle may not stay in holder
during a crash if the user has the harness strapped on tightly.
• Ensure proper fit of SCBA in SmartDock claws.
• Ride only with SCBA installed in seat.
• Always wear seat belt – SCBA harness is not designed to hold firefighter in a
crash.
• Use only with SCBA bottle and air pack weighing less than 15.75 kg.
• Adjust to t before use
The SmartDock SCBA holder must be adjusted to fit the SCBA bottle to be stored
in it. Storing any SCBA bottle and pack that does not fit properly is dangerous as
it may not be retained during a crash.
• Top Claw Grip/Adjustment
The claws grip the bottle during a crash. The top claw assembly must be
adjusted vertically so it grips the bottle where air pack harnesses, hoses or other
obstructions do not prevent the claws from closing properly. Do not store any
bottle and air pack if the claws cannot be adjusted to be clear of obstructions.
Never modify the SmartDock or adjust the claws
outside of the range provided.
• Air packs must be maintained in good condition and kept clean. Storing dirty, oily
or damaged bottles may affect the ability of the SmartDock to hold the bottle. The
SmartDock must be kept clean. Make sure the claws are kept clean and oil free. To
clean the SmartDock, use only warm water and mild detergent.
• Use only furnished grade 10.9 (ASTM F568M/ISO898) fasteners to attach the
SmartDock unit to vehicle structure or seat brackets.
