2.0 SAFETY
DANGER
Do not use AC current to operate the Extend-A-Gun RC. The Extend-A-Gun RC is a 12 or 24
volt DC system ONLY! Using the wrong power source could cause electrocution, resulting in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Reaction forces generated by master stream fl ows are very powerful and capable of causing
injury and property damage. The Extend-A-Gun RC must be securely mounted to rigid truck
support members. Qualifi ed persons should determine suitable mounting locations
WARNING
Qualifi ed individuals should conduct mounting bracket installation. Inferior welding or poor
plate installation could result in serious injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Keep the upper and lower brackets as far apart as possible to minimize the amount of stress
on the upper and lower brackets.
WARNING
The forces acting on the mounting brackets, when the Extend-A-Gun RC is in the extended
position, are higher than the forces in a normal deck gun installation. Failure to properly
secure the Extend-A-Gun RC, could result in damaged equipment and serious injury.
WARNING
Master stream fl ows are very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the monitor is pointing in a safe direction before water to the monitor is turned on.
Use care in directing the stream.
CAUTION
Clear all personnel and obstructions away from the Extend-A-Gun RC before lowering. This
unit relies on electronic braking and may lower quickly in the event of a failure. Anything
caught underneath the monitor, could become crushed, when lowered.
CAUTION
The Extend-A-Gun RC has current limiting capabilities which stops the motor if an obstruction
is encountered. The Extend-A-Gun RC must be installed as instructed using the correct
controls and electrical boxes. Failure to do so will result in damage to the electric motor and
loss of current limiting controls. This may result in injury.
CAUTION
The Extend-A-Gun RC may be used in either the raised or the lowered position, but not in-
between. The unit may become damaged if the water is turned on in any position other than
fully extended or retracted.
CAUTION
Do not plug or cap the Extend-A-Gun RC or mounted deck gun while it is in the raised
position. This will prevent the Extend-A-Gun RC from being lowered to the park position.
Damage may occur if the truck drives under a low hanging object, while the Extend-A-Gun
RC is extended.
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Extend-A-Gun RC lets you lower your deck mounted master stream device to deck level for storage (or even into a well).
On the fi re ground, the monitor can be automatically raised to its extended position (12 or 18 extra inches, 30.4 or 45.7 extra cm)
with a simple push of a button. This gives greater clearance of other equipment on the apparatus, greater freedom of movement,
and keeps fi refi ghters off the top of the trucks, thus providing a safer operating position. The Extend-A-Gun RC off ers a full 360
degree monitor rotation in either the raised or lowered position, large waterway, Hardcoat anodized aluminum fi nish. Built in sensor
for connection to “monitor raised” light. Waterproof electric drive, motor control box, and optional panel mount operator station
for recessed mounting complete with cables and plugs for connecting TFT RC monitor and RC Extend-A-Gun. Connecting RC
Extend-A-Gun motor control box to RC monitor communication link (blue & white wires) allows RC Extend-A-Gun operation from
any monitor operator station equipped with AUX1 button or input. Can be specifi ed with new or retrofi tted to existing apparatus.
