Q

What rules should be followed to operate the HP100 for safety and efficiency?

A
  1. Complete and comprehensive study of the manual and have a thorough knowledge of operating instructions, safety pre cautions, unit capabilities, and limitations.
  2. Learn to operate the controls without looking at the control panel. Learn the location of each control, its function, and how it operates.
  3. Operate the controls smoothly to prevent jerking and erratic aerial movement…whipping bouncing are most likely cause damage to the aerial and rotation gear assembly,
  4. Practice basic no load operations at a low rpm setting, under capable supervision during initial training. Practice full load operations in simulated “on scene” conditions.
  5. Do not leave the operators control station with the aerial assembly raised, or in a operational capability.
  6. Do not lower the aerial on buildings, trees, telephone poles, lights, or the truck body.
  7. Give undivided attention to aerial while in operation.
  8. Personnel must wear a personal safety harness while aerial is in operation.
  9. The operator should keep their eyes on the assembly to avoid overhead electrical wires or any object that could be struck.
  10. perform weeklies.
  11. Note and report any signs of trouble before or during operation:
    a. drifting hydraulic cylinders.
    b. excessive oil pressure, oil leaks, and excessive oil consumption.
    c. unusual noise or vibrations in the hydraulic pump.
    d. erratic movement of the aerial, turntable, outrigger jacks, or function controls.
    e. Any contaminants on the extension slide surfaces, outriggers jacklegs, or cylinder rod surfaces.
    f. Unlubricated aerial extension slide parts, or outrigger jack leg slide surfaces, pulleys and retainers.

Q

What does raising the aerial device mean?

A

It means to elevate the entire assembly from its stored position to a desired angle and useful position, rotating the aerial device consists of a series of motion that includes elevating, rotating, extending, and lowering the device to its objective. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

216
Q

What tasks should be complete prior to deploying an aerial devise?

A
  • place apparatus in he proper position for maximum efficiency of use
  • apply all paring breaks
  • place apparatus transmission into the proper gear, and operate the power take off (PTO) to provide power t the aerial devices hydraulics system.
  • fully deploy the stabilizers according to the manufacturers recommendations.
  • switch the selector valve from the stabilizer position to the aerial device position so that hydraulic power is provided for aerial operations. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA
217
Q

Why do some fire agencies prefer that the Firefighters in the platform have primary control of the aerial device?

A

Because they are in the best position to place the platform in the most desirable operational location. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

218
Q

Why is it so important to engage the extension locks on a aerial ladder?

A

Extension locks make aerial ladder a rigid structure, reduces chance of failure. There has never been a recorded failure of an aerial device with properly engaged extension locks at a elevation of at least 50 degrees with proper loading. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

219
Q

What is the purpose of draining the water way before reverse extending?

A
  • Reduces the amount of stress
  • Reduces excessive PSI within piping system.
  • Prevents damaged to the seals, open both ends, nozzle and intake valve, also drain any hose lines in bed of ladder. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA
220
Q

What are the safest conditions in which an aerial ladder may be operated?

A

On a hard level surface, with negligible wind conditions and above freezing temperatures. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

221
Q

Why may a ladder fail when the ladder pipe is operating with the ladder placed at a low angle of elevation?

A

Overloading and overextension. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

222
Q

What are the two keys to operating on a grade?

A
  • Optimum positioning
  • Proper stabilization of the app. is emphasized because operating the aerial device is much more risky on a grade.
  • Knowing lad restrictions for the given grade Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA
223
Q

How does ice reduce rescue capability?

A

Ice can cause damage to the structural members or auxiliary system when the device is moved from position. Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA

224
Q

What signs of mechanical trouble or impending failure must the driver/operator continually watch?

A
  • Drifting of the device when raised.
  • Overloading of electrical system.
  • Gages indicating abnormality.
  • Leaking fuel.
  • Leaking hydraulic fluid.
  • Leaking coolant.
  • Leaking motor oil.
  • Overheating of any components.
  • Unusual noises or vibrations
  • Odor of burning fluids.
    Chapter 8 Aerial IFSTA
225
Q

What is always the first priority on the fire ground?

A

Rescue Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

226
Q

What is always the best position for an aerial device when being raised to a victim?

A

Perpendicular to all the victims. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

227
Q

When should an adult victim be carried or supported while traveling down a ladder?

A

When they are severely injured or unconscious, or who are not physically able to do it themselves. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

228
Q

Why shouldn’t victims be able to jump into the aerial platform?

A

It can damage the aerial device because of the initial stress load happening so fast. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

229
Q

In what common scenarios are aerial apparatus called upon to assist personnel who are working on a water rescue emergency?

A

Vehicles that have been driven into high water across roadways. It is recommended that fir departments discourage this type of rescue because of stability issues, unstable ground, and stress on ladder from moving water, which all are unsafe. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

230
Q

What role may aerial apparatus play in air craft rescue and firefighting incidents?

A

For rescue purposes, for evacuating people out of an aircraft. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

231
Q

What is the purpose for exposure protection when it comes to a aerial ladder?

A

To keep fire contained and not allow it to spread by convection, radiation, or direct flame contact. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

232
Q

What conditions may impede the effectiveness of a fog stream as exposure protection?

A
  • High wind.
  • Excessive distance between the nozzle and exposure
  • Extensive heat from the fire evaporating the stream prior to contact with the target area. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA
233
Q

Why are video cameras sometimes placed on water tower devices?

A

This allows the aerial device operator to view the deployment of the device from the tip and accurately direct the fore stream to the target. Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA

234
Q

What are some indicators of a potential defensive attack?

A
  • Fire or building conditions that prohibit safely advancing hose lines into a building.
  • The incident commander decides to sacrifice part of the building to the fire
  • Large amounts of water needed to extinguish the fire. (Communicating attics or multiple apartments etc.) Chapter 10 Aerial IFSTA
