Installation Instructions

Vertical Surface Mounting

• Locate a flat surface such as a compartment wall, tool board, or station bench.
• Use the included vertical mounting bracket.
• Align the bracket and mark the mounting holes.
• Drill pilot holes if necessary.
• Secure the bracket using appropriate fasteners (not included).
• Slide the MC40 hose roller into the bracket and ensure it is stable before use.

Trailer Hitch Mounting Bracket

• Locate a vehicle with a Class 4 (2") hitch receiver.
• Slide the THMB bracket into the receiver tube.
• Secure with a standard hitch pin (not included).
• Attach the MC40 hose roller to the THMB bracket using the provided mounting points.
• Ensure all connections are tight and stable before operating.

This setup allows you to roll hose either at the station or directly from the back of your fire truck, offering flexibility for both field and facility use.

Tools Needed for Installation

Vertical Surface Mounting:

• Drill – for creating pilot holes if needed
• Screwdriver or socket wrench – depending on the type of fasteners used
• Mounting hardware – screws or bolts (not included; recommended size based on surface material)
• Measuring tape – to align and position the bracket accurately
• Level – to ensure proper alignment on vertical surfaces

Trailer Hitch Mounting:

• Hitch pin or locking hitch pin – to secure the bracket into a Class 4 (2") receiver
• Wrench or socket set – if additional securing bolts are used for the hose roller attachment
• Optional: lubricant or anti-seize compound – for easier insertion and removal from the hitch receiver

These tools will help ensure a secure and stable installation whether you're mounting the hose roller on a flat surface or using it in the field with the trailer hitch bracket

General Safety Tips

• Wear PPE: Always wear gloves and safety glasses when drilling or handling metal components.
• Use Proper Tools: Ensure all tools are in good working condition and appropriate for the job (e.g., drill, wrench, level).
• Secure the Work Area: Make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface with the parking brake engaged before installing the hitch mount.
• Avoid Pinch Points: Be cautious when inserting or removing the hitch mount to avoid pinched fingers.
• Check for Obstructions: Before drilling into any surface, verify that there are no wires, fuel lines, or other obstructions behind the mounting area.
• Use Correct Fasteners: Always use the recommended size and type of fasteners for mounting the MC40 securely.
• Test Stability: After installation, gently test the roller and mount to ensure they are secure before use.
• Do Not Overload: Only use the hose roller with hose sizes and weights it is rated for (1" to 1-1/2" fire hose).
• Inspect Before Use: Check all components for signs of wear, rust, or damage before each use.
