Specifications The high idle shall be operational only when tihe parlcing brake is on and the trucli traizsmission is in neutral. A green indicator liQht shall be provided adjacent to the switch. The Iight shall illuminate when the above conditions are met. The light shall be labeled "OK To EnaaQe High Idle". SILICONE COOLANT LINES Silicone hoses shall be used for all engine coolant lines installed by the chassis manufacturer. Hose clamps shall be stainless steel "constant torque type" to prevent coolant leakage. They shall react to temperature changes in the cooling system and expand or contract accordingly while maintaining a constant clamping pressure on the hose. RADIATOR Radiator and the complete cooling system shall meet or exceed NF'FA coolinc system standai-ds. Caolina svstem capacity shall exceed all coolina requirements specified by the enaine manufacturer under all truck operating conditions. It shall have a built-in loA,, coolant siL,ht glass and ai7 electronically controlled ]ow coolant display inounted on the instrument panel. An integral surge and deaeration tank shall be provided to optimize the cooling svstem for all operating conditions. The cooling systein shall be designed to nlaintain pressure at nine (9) psi for maximum dissipation. A drain valve shall be located at the lowest point of the coolinQ svstem and at otlier points to permit complete flushing of the coolant from the svstem. Cooling air shall be drawn in by a heavy-duty fan, shrouded by re-circulation shields that permit onlv fresh cool air through the radiator. Radiator shall be of the serpentine design and bonded together by the patented "beta-weld" process for increased strenath, longer road life and solder-b}oam corrosion protection. Radiator shall be mounted in a manner to prevent the development of ]eaks caused by twisting or strailling when the apparatus operates over unevezl ground. Radiator core shall be compatible with commercial antifreeze solutions. Cooling system shall exhibit rapid warm-up without use of radiator shutters. FUEL TANK .A 65-gallon fuel tank shall be provided and mounted at rear of chassis. The tanlc shall be constructed of 12-gauQe, hot rolled steeL It shall be equipped with swash partitions and a vent. A.7S' drain plug shall be provided in a low point of the tanlc for drainage. A fill inlet shall be located on the driver's side of the body and be covered with a hinged, spring loaded, stainless steel door that is marked "Diesel Fuel Only". A.50" diameter vent shall be provided ruririing from top of tank to just below fuel fill inlet. Bidder Complies Yes i No Page 15
