VEHICLE STABILITY SUPPLIED WITH CAB/CHASSIS
The cab/chassis shall be equipped with a stability control system. The system shall have, at a minimum, a
steering wheel position sensor, a vehicle yaw sensor, a lateral accelerometer and individual wheel brake controls.
FIRE APPARATUS PERFORMANCE
The fire apparatus shall meet the requirements of this standard at elevations of 2000 ft (600 m) above sea level.
The fire apparatus shall meet all the requirements of this standard while stationary on a grade of 10 percent in
any direction.
The fire apparatus shall meet the requirements of this standard in ambient temperature conditions between 32°F
(O°C) and 110°F (43°C).
ROADABILITY
The apparatus, when loaded to its estimated in-service weight, shall be capable of the following performance
while on dry, paved roads that are in good condition:
1) From a standing start, the apparatus shall be able to attain a speed of 35 mph (55 km/hr) within 25 seconds
on a level road.
2) The apparatus shall be able to attain a minimum top speed of 50 mph (80 km/hr) on a level road.
3) The apparatus shall be able to maintain a speed of at least 20 mph (32 km/hr) on any grade up to and
including 6 percent.
The maximum top speed of fire apparatus with a GVWR over 26,000 lb (11,800 kg) shall not exceed either 68
mph (105 km/hr) or the manufacturer’s maximum fire service speed rating for the tires installed on the apparatus,
whichever is lower.
If the combined water tank and foam agent tank capacities on the fire apparatus exceed 1250 gal (4732 L), or the
GVWR of the vehicle is over 50,000 lb (22,680 kg), the maximum top speed of the apparatus shall not exceed
either 60 mph (85 km/ hr) or the manufacturer’s maximum fire service speed rating for the tires installed on the
apparatus, whichever is lower.
SERVICEABILITY
The fire apparatus shall be designed to allow the manufacturer’s recommended routine maintenance checks of
lubricant and fluid levels to be performed by the operator without lifting the cab of a tilt-cab apparatus or without
the need for hand tools.
Where special tools are required for routine service on any component of the apparatus, such tools shall be
provided with the apparatus.
Apparatus components that interfere with repair or removal of other major components shall be attached with
fasteners, such as cap screws and nuts, so that the components can be removed and installed with ordinary hand
tools. These components shall not be welded or otherwise permanently secured into place.
