SmartDock®Installation | User’s Guide

General Information

SmartDock is a hands-free self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) holder for re

apparatus. In the event of a collision, the top claws lock from inertial forces for a secure

hold.

The NFPA 1901 committee wants to ensure that SCBA bottles stored in the re apparatus

cab do not become projectiles during a crash. For this reason, the NFPA standard states that

“the bracket holding device and its mounting shall retain the SCBA unit when subjected to

a 9-G force.”

With traditional SCBA brackets, there are two things that must happen for the bottles to

remain in place:

1. The reghter must place the bottle in the bracket and latch it in place.

2. The bracket must be strong enough to hold the bottle.

The rst item is the responsibility of the reghter, and the second is the responsibility of

the bracket provider.

The unique feature of the SmartDock hands-free SCBA holder is that it removes the need

for the reghter to perform any extra latching, buckling or strapping action when placing

the bottle in the bracket.

Once installed per these instructions, the SmartDock is designed to meet NFPA 1901

requirements without any extra action by the reghter, other than properly placing the

bottle into the bracket.

The SmartDock uses inertia to keep the claws locked during deceleration. This inertial

action ensures that the SmartDock system will hold an SCBA bottle during an impact

caused by a crash.

Short of bolting the SCBA bottle to the structure of the cab, there is no way to guarantee

the bottle will always be retained if the crash is sufciently severe. The SmartDock bracket

has been tested to exceed NFPA 1901 requirements during a frontal crash. This capability

provides the optimum combination of convenience and strength, keeping the bottle retained

beyond NFPA requirements and eliminating the risk that a reghter will forget to engage

the strap or the latch. For these reasons, SmartDock provides the safest solution to in-cab

SCBA storage available today.

SmartDock®Installation | User’s Guide

Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury or death.

• Read all SmartDock Installation / User’s Guide instructions before installing or

using SmartDock.

• SmartDock is to be used for SCBA bottle and air pack storage only.

• Keep air pack harness loose when seated and belted. Bottle may not stay in holder

during a crash if the user has the harness strapped on tightly. Per NFPA Standard

1901, SCBA straps should be worn loosely when riding in the vehicle.

• Ensure proper t of SCBA in SmartDock claws.

• Ride only with SCBA installed in seat.

• Always wear seat belt – SCBA harness is not designed to hold reghter in a

crash.

• Use only with SCBA bottle and air pack weighing less than 35 lbs.

• Verify that the valve retainer brand ID matches the brand of the air pack you are

using. If they do not match, the pack may not be retained during a crash.

• Adjust to t before use

The SmartDock SCBA holder must be adjusted to t the SCBA bottle to be stored

in it. Do not store any air pack or bottle that does not meet the t criteria. Storing

any SCBA bottle and pack that does not t properly is dangerous as it may not be

retained during a crash.

• Claw Grip/Adjustment

The claws grip the bottle during a crash. The claw assembly must be adjusted

vertically so it grips the bottle where air pack harnesses, hoses or other

obstructions do not prevent the claws from closing properly. Do not store any

bottle and air pack if the claws cannot be adjusted to be clear of obstructions.

Never modify the SmartDock to adjust the claws

outside of the range provided.

• Air packs must be maintained in good condition and kept clean. Storing dirty, oily

or damaged bottles may affect the ability of the SmartDock to hold the bottle. The

SmartDock must be kept clean. Make sure the claws are kept clean and oil free. To

clean the SmartDock, use only warm water and mild detergent.

• Without inserting an air pack, check the claws periodically to make sure they

freely open and snap shut. This can be done by pulling the claws open by hand

and then shutting them again.

• Use only furnished SAE grade 5 fasteners to attach the SmartDock unit to seat

brackets.

Standards Reference:

NFPA-1901, 2009 Edition, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus

NFPA-1852, 2009 Edition, Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Open-Circuit

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)

Users must read and follow these instructions.

They are written to comply with NFPA guidelines.

Valve Retainer

During a crash, the air pack is held in place by the claws and valve retainer. The valve

retainer is the receptacle into which the valve must t (see drawing below). The shape of

the bottle valve is not the same for all air pack manufacturers, therefore the proper valve

retainer must be used. For ease of operation and safety, the correct valve retainer must be

properly matched to the SCBA valve being used. To facilitate matching of the correct valve

retainer to SCBA valve, the valve retainers have been marked for easy identication. Verify

that the valve retainer brand ID matches the brand of the air pack you are using

(if additional information is needed, see chart on pg. 9). If they do not match, the

pack may not be retained during a crash.

Failure to install, maintain and use SmartDock

in accordance with the instructions in this Installation

/User’s Guide and those provided by the Vehicle

Manufacturer can result in serious injury or death.

SmartDock Initial Set-Up

and Adjustment

Initial set-up and adjustments should be

performed with the SmartDock removed

from the SCBA seat, as access to some

adjustments will be difcult or impossible.

Remove the SmartDock from the seat by

removing the mounting nut and bolt from

the backside of the seat.

Make sure to note the mounting position

for easy re-installation.

PAGE 8 FIGURE 1 REV 2

The SmartDock assembly has been pre-

congured to accommodate the Scott,

Draeger, Survivair and Sperian SCBA

valves. If this is the valve used in the

seat where the SmartDock system is to be

installed, refer to step 3 to verify that the

cylinder ts properly. If a different SCBA

valve will be used, the following instructions

explain how to congure the SmartDock for

each SCBA valve brand.

Step 1. Select Valve Retaining Tab

Each SmartDock assembly ships with three

reversible valve retaining tabs. These three tabs

give you ve options, accommodating virtually

every SCBA manufacturer on the market today.

If the wrong valve retainer tab is used, the air pack

may not be retained during a collision and could

result in serious injury or death.

Step 2. Install the Valve Retaining Tab

a. Using the table above, identify the SCBA brand and

the corresponding valve retainer tab that you use.

b. Using the appropriate valve retaining tab,

mount it to the bottom plate using the

3/8-16 hex bolt and washer as shown.

Slide the tab as far forward as possible.

This position will work well with most

SCBA systems. Torque the hex bolt to

280 in*lbs (23 ft*lbs). The smaller hex

head bolt on the bottom plate works as

a key in the slot to provide fore and aft

alignment of the valve-retaining tab to

ensure proper t.

c. Reinstall the guide plate by aligning the

tab into the slot in the bottom plate.

Using a 3/16 inch hex key, install the

¼-20 socket head cap screw as shown

and torque to 100 in*lbs (8 ft*lbs).

If a tighter t is desired, repeat the

instructions in (b) and adjust the tab

rearward by small amounts until the

desired t is achieved.

Step 3. Raise SmartDock Head

Before installing the cylinder into the SmartDock

for the rst time, verify that the SmartDock head is

at least as high or slightly higher than the length

of the SCBA cylinder as measured from the bottom

of the valve to the rounded end of the cylinder. Use

caution when working with the SmartDock head to

avoid pinch points.

Note: Turning the height adjustment

knob clockwise raises the head and

counter-clockwise lowers the head.

Step 4. Adjust Wing

Using a T45 Torx Plus key, loosen the socket head

cap screws on both sides that hold the wing adjust-

ment and adjust the wing to its most rearward

position. It is only necessary to loosen the cap

screws about a 1/4 turn.
