TRANSPORTING YOUR QTAC

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

• Ensure that the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the QTAC carrying vehicle is
sufficient to support your QTAC unit with a full tank of water, plus any equipment,
fluids and personnel that you may wish to carry. Alternatively, you can reduce the
volume of water in your QTAC to maintain a GVWR under the limit of your vehicle.

General QTAC Mounting and Fastening

Ensure that your QTAC unit is secured to the carrying vehicle. Two main mounting
methods are available for your QTAC unit:
1. The preferred method of securing the QTAC to the bed of the vehicle is to mount
the QTAC at the flanges (Figure 4 Item3), located at the bottom of the water tank
on each side. The flanges have been machined to accept a variety of mounting
hardware options.
2. If using straps to secure the QTAC to the bed of the vehicle, feeding the strap
around two grab rail posts, is preferred. This distributes the downward force over
a greater area. (Figure 4, Item 4)
