» Due to a part failure˃ Water cannot be pumped directly to the boom˃ Replacement piping has been installed to allow water to be pumped
into the boom˃ A PINCH POINT exists between the ladder base and this new piping

» Due to the PINCH POINT
˃ The boom cannot be raisedhigher than 50o
+ Note the white arrow
˃ If a spotter is usedthe boom can be raisedhigher to 60o

» 1000 GPM @ 100 psi at the nozzle, with ladder at 90o = reaction force of 500 lbs.
» Live loads, due to nozzle reaction & distribution of firefighters on the ladder are most greatly affected when the boom is fully extended and nearly horizontal
