III. GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The Portable Tank System was designed for use with portable tanks having a standard
height of 30 inches and a collapsed width not exceeding 8 inches. For tanks exceeding these
dimensions, contact the factory for information and pricing on larger tank boxes. When the
portable tank is placed into the tank box (9 & 10), there should be approximately 2 inches of
space left over top of the tank.
A. Mounting Points
Bolt holes have been provided on both the vertical and horizontal mounting surfaces.
Although the device may be securely mounted from the horizontal surface only, it is a
great advantage to be able to use mounting bolts on the vertical surface as well. One-half
inchthick aluminum backingplates should beused if usingonly the verticalor horizontal
hole sets for mounting (see page 16).
Allbolts should have reinforcementstructureadded underneath themountingsurface
where possible.
B. Electrical Circuit
The control switch (supplied) is a two pole double throw momentary exterior 30 amp
switch. It should be placed in such a position that the operator has full view of the PTS
System and any personnel that might come in contact with it. Using wires of equal length
between power source and the electric actuators will help keep the actuators running in
synchronization (see page 20). We recommend that all electrical connections be soldered.
Several "Lock Out" circuits may be considered to prevent accidents from occurring.
An ideal "Lock Out" system would only permit operation when the ignition switch is on,
the transmission is in park, and any obstructing compartment doors are shut. Because of
the higher amperage required to operate the PTS System, a separate "Lock Out" circuit
should be used. The "Lock Out" circuit should be separated from the PTS System circuit
by a relay. This will prevent damage to the existing wiring system. The PTS System
circuit should be protected by a 35 amp fuse.
NFPA 1901-96 standard requires flashing lights to be provided, facing front and rear
of the apparatus. Lights must flash whenever the System is out of the stored position. The
flashing light kit (Model PTS-FLK) was added to all Systems beginning January 1, 1997
(see Section I. C.). Prior to January 1, 1997 all units were provided with an audio-visual
alarm and relay. The audio-visual alarm may still be ordered as an option (see Model AVA,
P/N 8047-125-000 in catalog).

C. Synchronization of Actuators
It is important to the operation of the PTS System that the actuators work in synchro-
nization. The actuators may be out of synch a considerable amount before binding
occurs, however, reducing the occurence of this will increase the lift of the actuators and
prevent damage to the existing wiring system. The PTS System circuit should be
protected by a 35 amp fuse.
Do not permit personnel to hang, sit or stand on portable tank while stored on
the PTS System. If the unit is overloaded, the internal clutch will slip and prevent damage
to the actuators.
When the operator raises or lowers the unit, he should let it run until he hears both
clutches start to slip so that the actuators re-synchronize and are ready to run in the
opposite direction.
IV. INSTALLING THE PORTABLE TANK SYSTEM
A. Preparation for Mounting
Plan and lay out the entire installation before making any cuts or drilling holes in the
body of the fire apparatus. This will keep "out of service" time to a minimum and also help
to minimize mistakes. See Section IV. C. (Electrical System) before any holes are drilled
into the apparatus.
The system was designed for use on a shelf with a minimum depth of 8-1/4". The total
depth of the system is 9-1/2". To determine the total length required to mount the system,
measure the length of the collapsed portable tank and add 21". We are allowing 10-1/2"
for each device on the end of the tank which includes 1" at each end or a total of 2" of
"play" for the tank to move within the boxes (9 & 10). This 2" must be provided or the tank
may bind when raising or lowering (see page 13).
B. Mounting the System
Double check your measurements adding 21" to the collapsed length of the portable
tank. Mark this total length on your mounting surface (as a reference) and then set the
two devices in place on the shelf. Make absolute locations on shelf using measurement
guides on pages 16 & 17. Note the minimum clearance required for the hinge to pivot
(detail drawing in top right corner, page 17). Mark the outside edges of each device on
themountingsurface.
The tank boxes (9 & 10) are shipped separate from the devices. The neoprene pads
(14) and 1/4-20 x 1" flat head screws (20) are also shipped loose.
-3-

B. Mounting the System (continued)
Check for any obstructions behind or below the selected mounting locations. Also be
sure you can run your wiring unobstructed through the back of the base castings. The
outboard ends of the devices cannot be obstructed as access is necessary for mounting,
emergency operation and adjustment of the actuators.
You are now ready to mount the devices as follows (refer to page 11 for item numbers
inparenthesis):
1. The flat surface, between the two ears on the base castings (1 or 2) should be
flush and parallel with the edge of the mounting surface. Both devices should be
parallel and in-line to within 1/16" of each other.
2. Pull cotterless pin (35) and lower shelf castings (4 or 5).
3. Mark eight base holes and lower two back holes. Remove devices.
4. Drill ten holes for 3/8" mounting bolts (not supplied). Replace devices, insert
bolts and snug up on nuts.
5. Pull cotterless pin (34) and remove shelf arm casting (3).
6. Lay electric actuator (13) forward and also lay back arm casting (6) forward.
7. Mark two top holes in base casting (if used). Also mark hole location for electrical
wiring through bottom rear of base casting.
8. Remove device and drill holes for the two top holes in base casting and for the
wiring.
9. Re-position devices on shelf and mount in place with 3/8" bolts and nuts.
10. Wiring should be run through lower hole in base casting at this time. We suggest
the wire be run in a protective sheath to prevent chaffing. The wire should be run
under the actuator adjuster casting (7) and up to the wire harness. Connection is
provided for mating to connector from the actuator.
11. Flip the back arm casting (6) and electric actuator (13) back. Connect wires
to actuator and check clearance through full swing of actuator. Replace shelf arm
casting (3) and pin the three units together using cotterless pin (34). Flip up the shelf
casting (4 or 5) and place cotterless pin (35) through the shelf casting and shelf arm
casting (3).
-4-

B. Mounting the System (continued)
12. Attach the flashing light kit (Model PTS-FLK) at this time (see pages 14 & 15),
following the "Wiring System" directions on page 20.
13. Connect the electrical system at this time (see Section IV. C.) so the system may
be tested.
14. With the electric connected, run the devices up and down through a couple of
cycles. The units should run in synchronization. The units may appear to be a little
loose at this time.
15. Lower the devices so the neoprene pads (14) may be attached using 1/4-20 x 1"
flat head screws (20). Tighten the screws so they depress approximately 1/16" into
theneoprene.
16. Run the units to the up position and ratchet actuators. The units now should be
tight.
17. Lower the units 15 to 20 degress and attach tank boxes (9 & 10) to the shelf
casting (3). Use 5/16-18 x 5/8" button head socket screws (30) through front of
casting and 5/16-18 x 7/8" button head socket screws (42) through base of casting.
18. The System is now operational and you are ready to mount the portable tank.
C. Electrical System
A "WARNING" label (48) is provided with each System. The pressure sensitive label
must be mounted by the electrical control switch (43). All apparatus operators must be
instructed to keep area in front of the System clear of personnel when the System is
being raised or lowered.
An additional "WARNING" label (49) is also provided. This pressure sensitive label
must be mounted by the electrical control switch. This label is a reminder to the operator
to check for any deviation from standard operation that may signal a problem in the
System.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING
All units are tested after final assembly to ensure proper operation and adjustment. You
shouldnot have tomake any adjustmentswhenmounting the devices.
The following procedures are offered in the event of problems in the field. We strongly
urge you to contact the factory if any problems are encountered before attempting to correct
themyourself.
-5-

A. Actuator "Lock-Up"
This problem may occur if the electric actuator extends past the normal operating
range. If one or both actuators lock-up and do not move, operate the switch to move the
active actuator toward a parallel position with the inoperable actuator and continue until
both actuators ratchet. Then move the actuators in the opposite direction. Jog them back
and forth until both actuators are moving freely. Once free, refer to Section V. B. (Actuator
Adjuster).
B. Actuator Adjuster
The actuator adjuster (7) is factory set and should not be touched unless a "lock-up"
problem has been experienced. The following sequence should be used for adjusting the
actuator (see drawing on page 12):
1. Loosen 3/8-16 x 1-3/4" hex head clamp bolt (24).
2. Back out 3/8-16 x 1" socket set screw (23) until actuator adjuster casting (7) drops
as low as it will go.
3. Tighten socket set screw (23) until actuator adjuster casting (7) begins to raise.
4. Tighten clamp bolt (24).
5. Bring device to full up or raised position. Actuator is properly adjusted when the
bottom of the shelf casting (4 or 5) is resting firmly on the neoprene pad (14).
NOTE: Four flat head screws in neoprene pad should be 1/16" below the surface of
the neoprene pad.
6. If there is play between the shelf casting and pad, continue raising the actuator
adjuster casting with set screw (23). Use 1/2 turn of screw at a time.
7. Always re-tighten clamp bolt (24) before checking adjustment.

-7-
C. One Actuator Running Two Seconds or More Slower Than the Other
All actuators are timed, under load, at the factory and the times are recorded. Electric
actuators are matched as close to equal times as possible when a PTS System is
assembled. When one actuator is running more than two seconds behind the other, it is
normally due to some type of resistance in the wiring system. Check all wire connections
to make sure they are secure. Make sure to ratchet both actuators at the end of each up
and down cycle. If they are still greatly out of synch after checking the wiring and
ratcheting the units at the end of each cycle, you may switch the actuators to confirm if
the problem is in the wiring system. With the portable tank removed, and the devices in
theloweredposition, pull cotterless pins (34&35)and remove shelf armcasting(3).Remove
1/2" x 2-1/2" shoulder bolt (37) and 3/8-16 nut (38) to remove electric actuator (13).
Switch the two actuators and reassemble. If the rear actuator is running slower before
switching and is still running slower, there is a problem in the wiring.
VI. INSTALLING PORTABLE TANK COVER USING MODEL PTS-TCH
A. Preparation for Mounting
Follow installation instructions for the Portable Tank System (Section IV. A. & B.).
Particular attention must be paid to ensure that the center hinge (page 16) is in alignment
with the left and right casting sets.
Parts (page 18) and cover dimensions (page 19) are provided.
B. Mounting
Use the 1/2" hinge pin (114) for alignment. Shims may be required to correct adjust-
ment problems. All three pins should be aligned to within 1/16".
After the three hinges are aligned and the tank cover (page 19) has been fabricated,
you are ready to proceed with mounting.
NOTE: Measure the tank box (see page 19) to determine the "A & B"
dimensions. This will determine the size of your cover. The length of
the cover will also vary depending on the mounting distance between
the casting sets.
You are now ready to mount the tank cover and hardware as follows (refer to page 18
for item numbers in parenthesis):
1. Lay hinges (100) down along side of truck.
2. Place top of cover (115) onto the top of the tank boxes (9 & 10). You may have to
place temporary shims between tank cover and tank box to raise the cover. The bottom
edge of the tank cover should be just above the hinge (page 18 top right drawing).

-8-
B. Mounting (continued)
3. Clamp the tank cover to the tank boxes.
4. Raise the three hinges and mark the four hole sets for each hinge. Use "F" drill
to drill out the twelve holes.
5. Place the end backplates (104) and center backplate (103) in place and attach
with 1/4-20 screws (111). Holes are tapped in the backplates.
6. Drill holes for 5/16-18 screws (110 & 112) in the backplates and attach with
nuts (113).
7. Attach spring housing (105) to the tank boxes (9 & 10).
8. Drill holes in the two end backplates (104) for 5/16-18 screws (108) and
assemblethespring-loadedadjusting mechanism.
9. Adjust tension on the spring (107) by setting the pre-load so it will support the
weight of the cover when the System is being lowered.
VII. MAINTENANCE
A. Periodic
Any time the tank boxes (9 & 10) appear to be "loose", refer to actuator Adjuster
(Section V. B.).
B. Semi-Annually or at Scheduled Apparatus Lube Service
1. Actuator adjuster (7) (page 12) - Check for loose bolts; refer to adjustment
directions (Section V. B., page 6).
2. Lubrication - We suggest that all pivoting surfaces be sprayed in the joints and
pivot points with CRC brand Stor&Lube long-term lubricant and rust preventative
#03032. Excess lubrication should be wiped off.
3. Electric actuator - We suggest the exposed shaft be cleaned and sprayed with
WD40 or a similar light, moisture-repelling silicon type lubricant.
C. Pressure Washing
Do not operate pressure washer around or near the electric actuators.
Excessive pressure may allow soap and water to blow past the seal, damaging the
actuator.
