Hose: The truck contains 1500' of hose. It includes 3", 2 1.2" and 1 1/2" line.

UNIQUE FEATURES

-Vehicle cab: A master cut-off switch disconnects all power when vehicle is in the station. On stand-by, the switches are set up for emergency run, and the driver sets the master switch to emergency run position and pushes the starter button to proceed on a call.
-Pump control panel in the cab provides pump and run information and controls for the driver or officer. Controls include engage switches, tank level gauge, primer button and discharge pressure.
-Vehicle is equipped with a "Maxibrake" safety brake which is used instead of an emergency brake.
-Vehicle is equipped with an Allison MT 42 automatic transmission, providing greater flexibility in pumping, off road operations and driver ability.
-Electronic siren is so arranged that any phase, siren, PA, or outside radio speaker works without changing any switches.
-The radio telephone type handset is mounted on the windshield post for easy use by all persons. The siren and air horn are controlled by overhead lanyards for easy reaching by officer or driver.
