10.2 MANUAL OVERRIDE

Each Extend-A-Gun RC is equipped with an override knob. In the event of power loss, turn the knob clockwise to raise the tube, or
counterclockwise to lower it.

10.2.1 REMOVING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE KNOB

The manual override knob may be removed if desired. When the knob is
removed, the unit can be moved using a 1/2" (13mm) wrench or socket on
the exposed hex key.

10.3 INDICATOR LIGHT

The Extend-A-Gun has a built in switch to control an indicator light on the
truck dashboard showing that the Extend-A-Gun is in the extended position. This is to help prevent damage that would occur if the deck
gun hits a low overhanging object. Do not move the truck with the Extend-A-Gun in the extended position.

10.4 OPERATION BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES

The apparatus that the Extend-A-Gun is mounted to may be stored in sub-freezing conditions. Ice on or around the gear rack or tubes
may prevent the Extend-A-Gun from extending. If the Extend-A-Gun does not extend due to a frozen condition, it may still be used in the
retracted position.

10.5 CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS

The Extend-A-Gun RC is designed to produce a short burst of maximum lifting power. Raising and lowering the Extend-A-Gun multiple
times over a short period (more that 1 cycle per minute) causes heat to quickly build up in the motor. As the heat increases, the
efficiency decreases, thus reducing power and speed. Do not raise the Extend-A-Gun more than one time per minute.

10.6 CURRENT LIMITING

NOTICE
The drive train is protected by a current limiting setting. When the Extend-A-Gun RC is being raised, the unit is provided with maximum
allowable current to lift and still protect the mechanism from damage when an obstruction is encountered. When the Extend-A-Gun RC
is being lowered, the drive is programmed to run at a slower speed and the current limit is reduced.

The Extend-A-Gun RC has current limiting capability 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.
