Specifications

provisions at the lower portion just above the bumper further enhancing the total free air intake for
engine cooling.
Chrome plated molded plastic bezels shall be provided for lighting assemblies located on each side of
the cab fascia for optimum visibility.
FRONT GRILLE
The Sirius II fascia shall include a two (2) piece front grille. The upper portion of the grille shall be
hinged to provide service access behind the grille.
CAB UNDERCOAT
There shall be a rubberized undercoating applied to the underside of the cab that provides abrasion
protection, sound deadening and corrosion protection.
CAB SIDE DRIP RAIL
There shall be a drip rail along the top radius of each cab side. The drip rails shall help prevent water
from the cab roof running down the cab side.
CAB PAINT EXTERIOR
The cab shall be painted prior to the installation of glass accessories and all other cab trim to ensure
complete paint coverage and the maximum in corrosion protection of all metal surfaces.
All metal surfaces on the entire cab shall be ground by disc to remove any surface oxidation or surface
debris which may hinder the paint adhesion. Once the surface is machine ground a high quality acid
etching of base primer shall be applied. Upon the application of body fillers and their preparation, the
cab shall be primed with a coating designed for corrosion resistance and surface paint adhesion. The
maximum thickness of the primer coat shall be 2.00 mils.
The entire cab shall then be coated with an intermediate solid or epoxy surfacing agent that is designed
to fill any minor surface defects, provide an adhesive bond between the primer and the paint and
improve the color and gloss retention of the color. The finish to this procedure shall be a sanding of the
cab with 360 grit paper followed by sealing the seams with SEM brand seam sealer.
The cab shall then be painted the specific color designated by the customer with an acrylic urethane type
system designed to retain color and resist acid rain and most atmospheric chemicals found on the fire
ground or emergency scene. The paint shall have a minimum thickness of 2.00 mils, followed by a clear
top coat not to exceed 2.00 mils. The entire cab shall then be baked at 180 degrees for one (1) hour to
speed the curing process of the coatings.
