SPECIFICATIONS FOR TWO (2) USED 2006 OR LATER MODEL YEAR TRUCKS WITH REPRESENTATIVE MODEL ALTEC MODEL #AT37-G OR APPROVED EQUIVALENT TRUCK MOUNTED, INSULATED, ARTICULATING, TELECOPING, ROTATING, VERTICAL LIFT PLATFORM SYSTEM AND SERVICE BODY SPECIFIED FOR ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS This specification is to set forth the specific requirements for a (35/37) foot to bottom of platform, hydraulic operated, telescopic aerial device equipped with single platform and with a steel line service body mounted on an appropriate chassis/cab. These insulating aerial device requirements shall also include an insulating lower arm insert, insulating telescopic upper boom and a dielectrically tested insulating control handle, with upper control isolation system at the boom tip, offering an additional layer of secondary dielectric protection for the operator. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: 1. Thirty-seven (37)-foot telescopic articulating aerial device with an insulating lower arm, insulating telescopic upper boom and a dielectrically tested insulating control handle, with upper control isolation system at the boom tip, for installation behind chassis cab, built in accordance to these standard specifications and to include the following features: A. Ground to Bottom of Platform Height: 37.5 feet at 11.3 feet from centerline of rotation (11.4 m at 3.4 m) B. Working Height 42.5 feet (13.0 m) C. Maximum Reach to Edge of Platform: 28.3 feet at 14.4 foot platform height (8.6 m at 4.3 m ) D. Pedestal: Post type pedestal design with large service openings. Pedestal consists of fixture welded steel tubing inch (273 mm) diameter. The 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) top plate of the pedestal is machined after welding to provide a rigid, flat mounting surface for the rotation bearing. This extends the life of the bearing and reduces life cycle cost. The pedestal is bolted to a quick mount interface frame which is attached to the chassis frame utilizing a bolt-on technique. E. Rotation: 370 noncontinuous rotation is provided by worm gear drive, equipped with

7 Page 7 of 19 ITB 1184 extended shaft for manual rotation, driving a shear ball bearing rotation gear. Continuous rotation required. The fully adjustable rotation drive assembly includes an external eccentric ring adjustment of the gearbox pinion gear to the main rotation bearing, permitting the ability to easily adjust backlash, reduce boom side play and ensure proper tooth contact over the life of the unit. This reduces life cycle cost. F. Turntable: Steel fixture-welded structure with a 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) steel bottom plate. The bottom plate of the turntable is machined after welding to ensure a flat mounting surface for the rotation bearing. A steel ring is welded to the bottom plate to stiffen the plate and to protect the rotation bearing. For ease of maintenance, hydraulic valving is located on the side of the turntable and protected by a metal guard. G. Articulating Arm: Tubular steel structure with insulating fiberglass insert. The articulating arm is designed so that the articulating arm and telescopic boom are compensating. By raising the articulating arm only, the arm and telescopic boom maintain the same relative angle with the ground. By raising the articulating arm in conjunction with the telescopic boom the operator is able to position himself more quickly and easily into the work area. H. Lift Cylinders: The rod eye is welded to the rod while the blind end of the cylinder is of cast steel, one piece design, which utilizes cartridge-type, bi-directional counter-balance holding valves. Non-lubricated type bushings are used at each end of the cylinder. I. Telescopic Boom: Fabricated, reinforced steel with a round centrifugally cast, high density fiberglass insulator. Insulator provides 12 inches (305 mm) of isolation in the lower boom section. The inner surface of the fiberglass insulator has a wax coating molded in during manufacture to provide a dry, smooth inner surface which will cause moisture to bead. The outer surface has a smooth gel coat finish. J. Telescopic Upper Boom Section: Rectangular filament wound fiberglass, providing a minimum of 8.0 in (203 mm) of isolation when retracted and 35 inches (889 mm) when extended. The inner surface of the fiberglass boom has acrylic polyurethane applied to provide a dry, smooth inner surface which will cause moisture to bead. The outer surface has a smooth gel coat finish. K. Telescopic Boom Articulation: -25 degrees to +75 degrees. This is important because it allows the platform to be placed below grade when the boom is extended. This allows the operator to access the platform from the ground very close to the side of the body or access the platform from the ground even on uneven terrain such as off the side of a roadbed. L. Telescopic Boom Pivot Pin: high strength chrome plated steel with self-lubricating, replaceable, non-metallic bearings. M. Telescopic Upper Boom Extension: The upper boom section is extended and retracted by a double acting hydraulic cylinder installed within the booms. The boom extends and retracts over slide bearings located in the end of the lower boom section. N. Platform Leveling System: The platform is leveled by hydraulic leveling means, contained within the telescopic boom and designed to maintain the dielectric integrity of the aerial device. Controls for leveling and tilting the platform are located at the platform. Leveling for the platform includes two double acting cylinders incorporating counterbalance load holding valves to lock the platform in the event of hydraulic line failure. Cylinders are located at the platform and at the riser structure between the articulating arm and telescopic boom. The master-slave action of the cylinders maintains a level platform throughout the full range of boom articulation. O. Platform: Totally enclosed, fiberglass.

8 Page 8 of 19 ITB 1184 P. The dielectrically tested, insulating upper control system includes the following boom tip components that can provide an additional layer of secondary electrical contact protection. 1. Control Handle: A single handle controller incorporating high electrical resistance components that is dielectrically tested to 40 kv AC with no more than 400 microamperes of leakage. The control handle is green in color to differentiate it from other non-tested controllers. The handle also includes an interlock guard that reduces the potential for inadvertent boom operation. 2. Auxiliary Control Covers: Non-tested blue silicon covers for auxiliary controls. 3. Control Console: Non-tested non-metallic control console plate. 4. Boom Tip Covers: Non-tested non-metallic boom tip covers. The covers are not dielectrically tested, but they may provide some protection against electrical hazards. Q. Controls: The Control System for all models is a full pressure type, operating at 2,400 psi (166 bars) maximum. The upper control, located at the platform, consists of a single handle control of the tiller type. The single handle control, through an insulating linkage, actuates valves in the control head to actuate the boom. The controls provide fine metering capability and allow the operator to make simultaneous multiple boom movements. The single handle control activates Lower Boom--Up and Down, Upper Boom Extend/Retract, and Rotation-- Clockwise/Counter-clockwise. Unit rotation is accomplished by moving the control from side to side similar to a tiller. An additional separate control activates the Articulating Arm Up/Down. The articulating arm control is mechanically locked to prevent accidental actuation and does not require the actuation of the trigger on the single handle control. Conventional multiple lever ground controls located on the turntable include an upper control override. R. Manual Lowering Valve: A valve located at the boom tip, easily accessible by the operator without having to remove any covers allows the lower boom to be lowered in the case of engine or hydraulic system failure. S. Hydraulic Tool Circuit: Control easily accessible to the operator activates the tool circuit which provides 5.0 gpm (18.9 lpm) at 2,000 psi (138 bar) One set of HTMA quick disconnect couplings is located in a protected location inside the control cover at the platform. T. Back-up Alarm, installed. U. Diagnostic Pressure Test Quick Disconnect Couplings: are located at the turntable to allow a mobile service technician to quickly and easily attach a test gauge to verify system and tool circuit pressure. This reduces life cycle cost. V. ISO 9001: This aerial device is designed in a facility that is certified to meet ISO 9001 requirements. W. ANSI Category C, 46 kv and below dielectric rating. X. Manuals: Two (2) Operator s and two (2) Maintenance/ Parts manuals containing instructional markings indicating hazards inherent in the operation of an aerial device. Y. Paint: Painted white with a Powder Coat Paint Process which provides a finish-painted surface that is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, abrasion and corrosion. Paint is electrostatically applied to the inside as well as outside of fabricated parts then high temperature cured prior to assembly ensuring maximum coverage and protection UNIT 2. Thirty-seven (37)-foot Aerial Device with insulating articulating arm and continuous rotation. Articulating arm includes a rectangular filament wound fiberglass insulator. The insulator

9 Page 9 of 19 ITB 1184 provides 12.0 inches (305 mm) of isolation in the articulating arm. The inner surface of the filament wound fiberglass insulator has acrylic polyurethane applied to provide a dry, smooth inner surface which will cause moisture to bead. The outer surface has a smooth gel coat finish. The compensating link is centrifugally cast round fiberglass construction which has a smooth gel coat outer surface. PEDESTAL 3. Post type pedestal design with large service openings. Pedestal consists of fixture welded steel tubing inch (273 mm) diameter. The 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) top plate of the pedestal is machined after welding to provide a rigid, flat mounting surface for the rotation bearing. RESERVOIR 4.1 Reservoir, 7 gallon (26.5 L) capacity, located at the right front of the cargo area and installed on the pedestal. PLATFORM 5. Single one man side-mounted platform.
