 TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 MEANING OF SIGNAL WORDS A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-1998 the definitions of the three signal words are as follows:
For safe dependable service, the Extend-A-Gun be securely mounted. To make the Extend-A-Gun as versatile as possible, three mounting bracket kits are offered. Each kit has a different upper bracket. The lower bracket is the same in all three.
3.1 TUBE BRACKET INSTALLATION
This kit contains a six inch square steel tube with two U-bolts to be used as the upper bracket and a saddle bracket, similar to a heavy duty muffler clamp for the lower bracket. Both brackets must be used. This kit is designed primarily for installation in trucks as they are being built at the factory. The tube bracket may be welded onto the truck tubular framework, as shown on the Tube Bracket Welding Diagram. The lower bracket, as shown in the Saddle Bracket Welding Diagrams, should be welded to an additional support and clamped as low at possible on the bottom of the Extend-A-Gun tube. Make sure the welds are capable of withstanding the forces shown on the Side Loads At Mounting Points Diagram. The Extend-A-Gun may be installed in the brackets after the truck is painted. Use Loctite, supplied in kit on U-bolt threads, and torque nuts on upper U-bolts to 15-17 ft-lbf, torque nuts on lower U-bolts to 36-40 ft-lbf.
3.2. SADDLE BRACKET WELDING This kit contains two mild steel saddle brackets and U-bolts, and is designed for factory installation on new equipment. Both Brackets must be used. Both brackets are to be welded to truck framework as far apart as possible yet still clamp on the Extend-A-Gun tube. The welds must be able to withstand the forces shown on the Side Loads at Mounting Points Diagram. The Extend-A-Gun may be installed in the brackets after the truck is painted. Use Loctite, supplied in kit on U-bolt threads, and torque nuts on U-bolts to 36-40 ft-lbf.

 1) Determine the distance, D1, in inches, from the center of the monitor elevation joint to the bottom of the threads in the monitor inlet. D1 FOR MOST COMMON INSTALLATIONS
2) Locate the value of D1, in the charts below. Find the desired HEIGHT from the center of the upper bracket to the center of the stream in the HEIGHT column. 3) Locate D2, the distance from the bottom of the latch casting to the center of the upper mounting bracket, for the chosen HEIGHT (inches).

Note: F1 must be less than 3100 lbf. F2 must be less than 2200 lbf. The proposed installation
must be capable of withstanding forces of this magnitude.
5.0 INDICATOR SWITCH WIRING The Extend-A-Gun latch mechanism contains a magnetic switch. This switch is intended to be used with a MONITOR EXTENDED warning light. The magnetic switch in the Extend-A-Gun is a normally open switch, and the switch is closed when the Extend-A-Gun is in the down position. to limit the current through the switch. The enclosed relay MUST BE USED to limit the current through the switch. 
1) Screw the threaded switch body into the tapped hole in the Extend-A-Gun latch casting after the Extend-A-Gun is permanently installed. Be careful not to twist or break the wires. 2) Mount the relay on the electrical panel with the terminals accessible. 3) Drill a 1/2" diameter hole in the dash board for the panel light. Leave enough room for a 1-13/16" diameter label around the light or a 2" wide x 1-1/2" high label next to the light. Apply one of the two warning labels and push the panel light through the hole in the dash. 4) Connect the labeled wires on the switch to terminal #85 on the relay and ground respectively. 5) Connect the terminals on the panel light to terminal #87A on the relay and ground respectively. 6) Connect a wire from a "spare" position on the trucks circuit breaker panel to terminals #30 and #86. The circuit from the "spare" position in the fuse block should only be energized when the ignition switch is in the ON position. 6.0 LABELS
7.0 MOUNTING MONITORS Akron Apollo® monitors may be mounted on Extend-A-Gun models XG12PL-PL, XG12VL-PL, XG18PL-PL, or XG18VL-PL in one of two ways. We recommend that the direct mount flange be screwed directly to the 3" pipe threads on the Extend- A-Gun. The base may be modified by having the flange turned down to 5" diameter at your local machine shop. Alternatively, the direct mount flange can be bolted to Task Force Tips part XFF-CPL Companion Flange (or equivalent) with out modification. Make sure that the flange bolts do not interfere with the Extend-A-Gun latch mechanism. Elkhart Stinger® monitors must be bolted to Extend-A-Gun models XG12PL-PL, XG12VL-PL, XG18PL-PL, or XG18VL-PL using Task Force Tips part XFF-CPL Companion Flange (or equivalent). Make sure the flange bolts do not interfere with the Extend-A-Gun latch mechanism.
8.1 EXTEND
The Extend-A-Gun has a built in switch to control an indicator light on the truck dash board showing that the Extend- A-Gun is in the the extended position. This is to help prevent damage that would occur if the deck gun hits a low overhanging object. Do not move the truck with the Extend-A-Gun in the extended position.
