The transmission drive shaft or shafts and rear axles shall run quietly and be free from abnormal vibration or noise throughout the operating range of the apparatus. The successful bidder shall provide a Weight Certificate showing weights on front axle, rear axles and total weight for the completed apparatus at time of delivery.
• The apparatus shall be capable of accelerating to 35 MPH (55 km/hr) from a standing start within 25 seconds on a level concrete highway without exceeding the maximum governed RPM of the engine.
• The apparatus, fully loaded, shall be capable of obtaining a minimum top speed of 50 MPH (80 km/hr) on a level dry concrete highway with the engine not exceeding its governed RPM (fully loaded).
• The service brakes shall be capable of stopping a fully loaded vehicle in 35ft (10.7 m) at 20 mph (32.2 km/hr) on a level concrete highway. The air brake system shall conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 121.

A copy of all tests shall accompany the Apparatus. (For apparatus sold within Canadian ULC S515 / latest revision.)
TRUCK BODY SPECIFICATIONS
The design of the Apparatus shall embody the latest approved automotive engineering practices. The workmanship must be of the highest quality in its respective field. Special consideration will be given to the following points:
Accessibility of the various units, which require periodic maintenance; and ease of operation (including both pumping and driving); and symmetrical proportions. Construction shall be rugged and ample safety factors shall be provided to carry loads as specified and to meet both on and off road requirements and to speed conditions as set forth under Performance tests and requirements. Welding shall be employed in the assembly of the apparatus in a manner that will not prevent the ready removal of any component part for service or repair.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
The apparatus shall be designed with due consideration to distribution of load between the front and rear axles, so that all specified equipment, including filled water tank, a full complement of personnel and fire hose will be carried without injury to the apparatus. Weight balance and distribution shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Agency.
The apparatus shall be designed so that the operator could perform all recommended daily maintenance checks easily without the need for hand tools. Apparatus components that interfere with repair or removal of other major components must be attached with fasteners (cap, screws, nuts, etc.) so that the components can be removed and installed with normal hand tools. These components must not be welded or otherwise permanently secured into place.
The GAWR and GVWR of the chassis shall be adequate to carry the fully equipped apparatus including all tanks filled, the specified hose load, unequipped personnel weight, ground ladders and a miscellaneous equipment allowance per NFPA criteria. It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to provide the contractor with the weight of equipment to be carried if it is in excess of the allowance as set forth by NFPA.
The unequipped personnel weight shall be calculated at 250 lbs. per person times the maximum number of persons to ride on the apparatus. The height of the fully loaded vehicle's center of gravity shall not exceed the chassis manufacturer's maximum limit.
The front to rear weight distribution of the fully loaded vehicle shall be within the limits set by the chassis manufacturer. The front axle loads shall not be less than the minimum axle loads specified by the chassis manufacturer, under full loads and all other loading conditions.
The difference in weight on the end of each axle, from side to side, when the vehicle is fully loaded and equipped shall not exceed 7 percent.
The apparatus shall be so designed that the various parts are readily accessible for lubrication, inspection, adjustment and repair.
Where special tools manufactured or designed by the contractor and are required to provide routine service on any component of the apparatus built or supplied by the contractor, such tools shall be provided with the apparatus.
