QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP

Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of

building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the

beginning. We currently have a Quality Achievement Supplier program to insure the vendors

and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards that we demand. That is just part of our

overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.

DELIVERY

The apparatus will be delivered under its own power to insure proper break-in of all components

while the apparatus is still under warranty.

INFORMATION

At time of delivery, complete operation and maintenance manuals covering the apparatus will be

provided. A permanent plate will be mounted in the driver's compartment specifying the

quantity and type of fluids required including engine oil, engine coolant, transmission, pump

transmission lubrication, pump primer and drive axle.

SAFETY VIDEO

At the time of delivery Pierce will also provide one (1) 39-minute, professionally-produced

apparatus safety video, in DVD format. This video will address key safety considerations for

personnel to follow when they are driving, operating, and maintaining the apparatus, including

the following: vehicle pre-trip inspection, chassis operation, pump operation, and safety during

maintenance.

PERFORMANCE TESTS

A road test will be conducted with the apparatus fully loaded and a continuous run of no less

than ten (10) miles. During that time the apparatus will show no loss of power nor will it

overheat. The transmission drive shaft or shafts and the axles will run quietly and be free of

abnormal vibration or noise. The apparatus will meet NFPA 1906 acceleration requirements and

NFPA 1906 braking requirements. The apparatus when fully loaded will not have less than 25

percent nor more than 50 percent on the front axle and not less than 50 percent nor more than 75

smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before painting.

2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment - The metal surfaces will be properly cleaned using an

acid etching system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil, grease and

metal oxides to ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. An ultra-pure water final rinse

will be applied to all metal surfaces, excluding undercarriage components, at the

conclusion of the metal treatment process.

3. Sealer Primer Coat - A two (2) component sealer primer coat will be applied.

applied. Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll-up doors will not

be clear coated and the standard roll-up door warranty will apply.

All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be

removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body assemblies that

cannot be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before assembly.

The chassis cab will be painted Ford Race Red from the chassis manufacturer and the body will

be painted Pierce #516 red - matching Ford Race Red to match the cab.

Prior to reassembly and reinstallation of lights, handrails, door hardware and any miscellaneous

body items, an isolation tape or gasket material must be used to prevent damage to the finish

painted surfaces. A nylon washer will be installed under each acorn nut or metal screw that is

fastened directly to a painted body surface.
