1-8. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES.
a.
Description. Model CM-KFT-8 is a commercial type, 4x4, front wheel steer, truck cab and chassis fire truck
powered by a DT-466 diesel engine. The fire truck is equipped with an aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and
dry chemical (P-K-P) agent system with a hose reel and remote controlled twinned roof turret
for dispensing the twin agent firefighting chemicals.
b.
Capabilities. The fire truck is capable of satisfactory performance in any normal ambient temperature from
+125° (51.6C) to 32°F (0°C). The twin agent system will provide simultaneously, an average flow rate of 55
gpm of AFFF agent and 5.0 lbs (2.3 kg) per second of dry chemical at any hose length from 25 to 100 feet
(7.62 to 30.4 m) at the above stated temperatures.
The truck, when fully loaded with all specified equipment, filled twin agent system, fuel tank, and crew, is ca-
pable of the following road performance at sea level:
(1) Parking brake holding the truck on a 30% grade in both ascending and descending position.
(2) Service brakes holding the truck on a 30% grade in both ascending and descending position.
(3) Service brakes bringing the truck to a stop within a braking distance of 30 feet (9.14 m) from a speed
of 20 mph (32.2 km/h) on a dry, level, paved roadway.
(4) Attaining a maximum speed of 65 mph (104.6 km/h) on a dry, level, paved roadway.
(5) Accelerating on a level road from a standing start to a speed of 50 mph (80.4 km/h) in 30 seconds.
(6) Negotiating a 50% grade in the low speed range traveling both up and down the grade.
(7) There will be no evidence of body distortion, leakage, tire and body contact, malfunction of compo-
nents, irregular chassis noise, vibration, or sway when subjected to a road test of 100 miles (160.9 km)
over paved roadway at speeds up to 55 mph (88.5 km/h); 25 miles (40.2 km) over graded unpaved road-
way at speeds up to 25 mph (40.2 km/h); and 25 miles (40.2 km) off highway over cross-country terrain at
speeds up to 15 mph (24.1 km/h) in four-wheel drive.
(8) Negotiating side slopes up to 20% on a surface reasonably hard in both directions.
