the same size and have the same rating as the parts
being replaced. It is essential that a good metal-to-
metal contact is achieved to maintain proper radio
interference suppression. To correct faulty suppression,
substitute new interference suppression components
until faulty components are discovered. Remove the
capacitors and ground straps in the numerical sequence
as illustrated on figure 3-.4.
3-24. Testing of Radio Interference Suppression
Components
Test the capacitors for leaks and shorts on a capacitor
tester: replace defective capacitors. If test equipment is
not available and interference is indicated, isolate the
cause of interference by the trial and error method of
replacing each capacitor in turn until the cause of
interference is located and eliminated.

AND LADDER SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES
3-25. General
The hose retainer, mounted on the right rear of the fire
truck provides a means of locking the hoses, inside the
hose compartment. A retainer and bracket provides a
means for mounting two foam applicator tubes. Two
shovel brackets are located on the left rear of the fire
truck. The ladder brackets are mounted on the top front
of the left side compartments. Two fire extinguisher
brackets are mounted on the rear step. Folding Steps
are mounted at the front of the hose reel compartments
and at the rear of the fire truck. A hand rail is mounted
on the rear of the fire truck and splash guards are
mounted on each side of the fire truck below the
instrument panels. The hose bed partition is located on
top of the fire truck water tank and divides the hose
compartment into two parts. The hose bed assemblies,
which are constructed of wooden slats, lay on top of the
water tank. The three ladder support assemblies are
attached to the sides and extend above the right and left
compartment assemblies.
