GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
The design of the equipment shall be in accordance with the best engineering practices. The equipment design
and accessory installation shall permit accessibility for use, maintenance and service. All components and
assemblies shall be free of hazardous protrusions, sharp edges, cracks or other elements which might cause
injury to personnel or equipment. All components shall be designed and protected so that heavy rains or other
adverse weather conditions will not interfere with normal servicing or operation.
All oil, hydraulic and air tubing lines, and electrical wiring shall be located in protective positions properly attached
to the frame or body structure and shall have protective loom or grommets at each point where they pass through
structural members, except where a through frame connector is necessary.
The apparatus shall be designed and the equipment mounted with due consideration to distribution of load
between the front and rear axles so that all specified equipment including personnel will be carried without injury
to the apparatus. All dimensions are approximate and subject to a plus or minus 1/4" tolerance.
The following specifications describe minimum requirements for an emergency services vehicle designed for
severe duty applications.
The materials specified are considered absolute minimum. Exceptions will not be accepted or permitted since all
raw materials of the specified type are available to all Manufacturers. Since all custom Manufacturers have the
ability to shear, break, and weld as these specifications require, all basic design requirements shall be complied
with.
Subletting any part of the fabrication, painting, or finishing of the apparatus will not be acceptable.
ACCESSIBILITY
Parts and components shall be located or positioned for rapid and simple inspection and recognition of excessive
wear or potential failure. Whenever functional layout of operating components determines that physical or visual
interference between items cannot be avoided, the item predicted to require the most maintenance shall be
located for best accessibility.
Cover plates which must be removed for component adjustment or part removal should be equipped with quick
disconnect fasteners or hinged panels.
Drains, filler plugs, grease fittings, hydraulic lines, bleeders, and check points for all components should be
located so that they are readily accessible and do not require special tools for proper servicing. Design practices
should minimize the number of tools required for maintenance.
MATERIALS
The materials specifications are considered absolute minimum. Exceptions will not be accepted or permitted since
all raw materials of specified type are available to all manufacturers. Since all manufacturers have the ability to
shear, break and weld as these specifications require, all basic design requirements shall be complied with.
Materials shall conform to the specifications listed herein. When not specifically listed, materials shall be of the
best quality for purpose of commercial practice. Materials shall be free of all defects and imperfections that might
affect the serviceability of finished product.
