The tower shall be a scissors type design, which will nest with the lights facing down within 13" of the mounting surface. The top section of the tower shall articulate to allow lamp head angles from 0 degrees to 110 degrees. Model number is a Command Light # CL611 230-Volts. A total of six (6) 1000-watt 240-volt quartz lights shall be mounted, three (3) each side on the top section. All tower functions shall be 240-volt operated requiring no air or hydraulic systems. The control of the tower (lighting and all functions) shall be accomplished by means of a single hand held remote control with a 20-foot imbecile cord. Indicator lights shall be provided on the control unit to show that the unit is energized, ready for use, and when tower is not properly nested. The tower shall be enclosed with polished aluminum diamond plate enclosures that are capable of deflecting tree branches or other low hanging obstructions that might otherwise damage the light tower.

18
A wax & grease solvent shall be used to clean and prep the aluminum surface. The surface shall then be rinsed with freshwater. This step removes wax, grease and other surface contaminants, thus leaving a bright, clean and conditioned surface. A self-etching, aluminum primer shall be applied next. The self-etching primer shall fill all of the minor imperfections, scratches, etc. in the metal. This step produces a corrosion resisting conversion coating that fends off oxidation and other surface contaminates leaving a surface that gives excellent paint adhesion. A sand-able primer shall be sprayed on the metal that seals the surface for the polyurethane paint. A minimum coating thickness of 2 mil shall be applied. Primer is then sanded smooth leaving the best surface for topcoat. The apparatus body shall then be painted with a minimum of three (3) coats of high luster final finish polyurethane paint. These steps are followed as recommended by the paint manufacturer to provide a lasting and high quality gloss finish. All paint products shall be provided by the same manufacture as the topcoat finish. The body shall be painted to match the red paint and color code provided by the Fire Department.
