SYSTEMS AVAILABLE Systems for ladders are made to order according to the ladders to be carried. In order to provide the System you require, we need to know the manufacturer, model number and length of ladders to be carried. The following models are available according to the nested depth of the ladder combinations: •...
INSTALLING THE LADDER ACCESS SYSTEM Preparation for Mounting The System has been tested at the factory prior to shipping. No additional adjustments should be required. However, the overall height of the unit, including the booms, is 56". The booms may need to be cut down in length for your application. A can of touch-up paint is available for this purpose. See drawings below to determine the required dimensions.

A ladder stop must be provided which will prevent the ladders from swaying when in the stored position. The stop may be fabricated using the top of the body panel as a starting point. The actual "stop" will be up to the body manufacturer to fabricate unless the optional Zico HLAS Stop, HLAS-OS, is ordered with your unit (optional stop shown in upper left of figure 20). FIGURE 3...

Preparation for Mounting (continued) A mechanism for opening the door panel in front of the unit must also be fabricated by the apparatus manufacturer. The actual mechanism will depend on whether the door opens down or to the side. Contact the factory for suggestions. Electrical System Now that you are sure of your mounting position, and the boom has been cut to the proper length, you may begin to lay out the electrical wiring (see figure 4, page 6 and figure 5, page 7). At this time it is a...
nfPA 1901-96 Standard requires flashing lights be provided, facing front and rear of apparatus. Lights must continue to flash while the device is out of the stored position. Beginning January 1, 1997, all systems are provided with flashing lights. The audio/visual alarm will continue to be offered as an option (see Section 8000 for the audio/visual alarm). drilled and tapped holes have been provided on QuiC-LifT Systems shipped after January 1, 1997 to mount the light kits.

WIRING SYSTEM: 1. Lights are to be mounted on forward and rear face of 3. one six-foot length of wire (95) provided to run ladder rack. from the switch (89) to the light wires (95). This wire should run-up through the right boom. 2. Two six-foot lengths of wire (95) are provided and installed, one for each light. Wires run on the inside 4. Snap plug connections (96) will be attached to each of the rack.
Mounting Suggestions A "WArning" label (part number 3097-000-110) is supplied with each QuiC-LifT System. The pressure sensitive or metal label must be mounted in close proximity to the ladder control panel. All apparatus operators must be instructed to keep the area in front of the ladders clear of personnel when the System is being raised or lowered. Before starting the installation you should make sure you have all necessary tools and materials.
Ladder Control Panel The ladder control panel should be mounted in such a position that the operator has full view of the QuiC-LifT System and personnel that might come in contact with it (see figure 9, page 12). Panel should be mounted in a waterproof compartment. After all connections are complete and system has been tested, protect connections with a weather proofer like liquid tape. We have extensively tested our QuiC-LifT System and have found the normal life to be in excess of 6,000 cycles without failure. With reasonable care and maintenance, your System should give you many years of excellent service.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT The following items may be added to the HLAS Systems: Model LAS-LGK Ladder Guard Kit The ladder guard kit contains one tube of epoxy and two stainless steel guards. The guards may be attached to the ladder rung to prevent wear and possible damage as a result of the locking handle's contact with the rung. The new handle assemblies have a replaceable plastic wear pad which should prevent damage to the rungs, but the ladder guard kit may also be required if unnecessary wear is noted.
TROUBLESHOOTING All units are tested after final assembly to ensure proper operation and adjustment. no further adjustments should be required unless excess movement is noted. Excess Movement of the Rack and Ladders If the rack and ladders appear to be moving more than when the System was initially installed, it is probably due to one of the following reasons: Ladders and rack not properly seated against the vehicle mounted ladder stop. A ladder stop must be provided by the apparatus manufacturer to prevent the ladders from swaying.
Excess Movement of the Rack and Ladders (continued) 3. Turn the cylinder shaft in the appropriate direction to lengthen or shorten it. WARNING: Do not use a pipe wrench or vise grips. Damage to the cylinder shaft will occur. The shaft will almost always turn by hand. Rubber coated work gloves will increase your grip. f. After turning the shaft about 1/4 turn, raise the unit back up. do not tighten the clevis clamp bolt at this time. g. make sure the cylinder is fully extended and re-check for the 3/32" gap while pulling out on the boom assemblies. FIGURE 13 FIGURE 14 FRONT VIEW SIDE VIEW h. After the 3/32" gap is achieved, tighten the clevis clamp bolt and turn the bumpers until they are touching the base casting (1). maintain outward pressure on the boom while you are hand tightening the bumper. Lower the unit a few inches.
Rack Moving in a Jerking Motion or Stops 1. Check fluid level in the hydraulic pump. 2. follow filling procedure (Vii. B. 2.). VII. MAINTENANCE Periodic 1. Any time the ladder rack and ladders appear to sway, refer to Troubleshooting (Vi. A.) and follow suggestions depending upon your specific problem. 2. Visually inspect hydraulic system for leaks indicated by the presence of hydraulic fluid or the accumulation of dirt around a fitting. refer to Checking Hydraulic fluid Level (Vii. B. 2.) before proceeding. Visually inspect the plastic pads for wear. Pads are located at several points on the ladder rack assembly and are designed to minimize wear to the ladders. replace as required. Semi-Annually or at Scheduled Apparatus Lube Service The above items under Periodic maintenance should be checked first and then proceed as follows: Lubricate the following parts as indicated. a.

FIGURE 15 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS Semi-Annually or at Scheduled Apparatus Lube Service (continued) 2. Checking hydraulic fluid level. Hydraulic system is a closed loop system. No one, other than a qualified hydraulic pump technician, should attempt to remove any fittings or hoses from the system. The system contains one orifice which is restricted to .025" (30). Removal of this fitting could cause bodily injury. See location on Figure 14. a. The booms must be lowered to gain access to the dip stick located in the front side of the pump. b. Remove dip stick and wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth. -19-...

Semi-Annually or at Scheduled Apparatus Lube Service (continued) c. Replace dip stick, placing it in the hole, but do not tighten. d. if the oil touches the bottom line of the two "full" lines, then pump is full. This may be checked by fully tightening the dip stick in place and then removing it. The oil level should be between the two "full" lines. e. if oil needs to be added, the pump manufacturer recommends oildyne hydraulic fluid be used with the system as follows: ATf, od18, or other clean hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 150 to 300 SuS at 100 degrees fahrenheit. System capacity (dry) is 32 ounces.

Replacing Hydraulic Fluid in the Pump (continued) 9. replace reservoir onto the bottom of the pump using new seals. replace and tighten screw in bottom of reservoir. 10. Re-attach the pump onto the base casting and re-attach the hydraulic lines and electric power. 11. Put 22 ounces of fresh hydraulic fluid into the pump through the dip stick hole and replace the dip stick. 12. run the booms up and down three or four times. Wait approximately 5 minutes and, with the booms down, check the fluid level. The fluid level should not show on the stick because approximately 12 ounces of fluid have been replaced into the lines and hydraulic cylinder. 13. Add 10 ounces of fluid and re-check the dip stick. To avoid having to screw the dip stick in all the way while adjusting the fluid level, the lower line of the two "full" lines may be used for you reading. 14. A couple of more ounces of fluid may have to be added to bring the fluid level to the full mark. When the full level is obtained, screw the dip stick in completely and seat the "o" ring. Replacing the Hydraulic Cylinder elbow adapter fittings (30 & 31) are provided on replacement hydraulic cylinders. The elbow adapter with restricted orifice (30) should not be removed from the cylinder for any reason.
