  1. New SCBA BracketsComing to a fire engine near you.

  2. SmartDock Gen2 Use • Use the following steps to safely ride in the seat when traveling to a fire: • 1. Don bunker gear prior to entering the cab. • 2. Enter cab safely using a three-points-of-contact method. • 3. Don air pack that is stored in the seat back. • 4. Leave the SCBA pack harness loose until you exit the seat. • 5. Buckle seat belt. • 6. Indicate to driver that you are buckled safely in the seat. • 7. Ride safely to the fire scene. • 8. Do not unbuckle seat belt until the vehicle has come to a stop, the parking brake is engaged and the officer indicates it is safe to exit the cab. • 9. Tighten pack harness straps and exit the seat by bending forward to allow release from the SmartDock Gen2. • 10. Ride only with SCBA installed in seat.

  3. IMPORTANT: KFD scba cylinders can vary in height. This bracket holds the cylinder in place – vertically. To lower the SmartDock head, turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise as if you were trying to “unscrew” the knob. To raise the SmartDock head, turn the adjustment knob clockwise as if you were trying to tighten the knob.

  4. If the SCBA is strapped on in transit, do I still need to wear a seat belt?SmartDock is NOT an occupant restraint system, therefore the vehicle seat belt must be worn anytime the vehicle is moving.

  5. If there are no straps, what holds the SCBA in place?The heavy-duty top latching mechanism in the SmartDock housing grips the cylinder and holds it securely in place during transit. In the event of a collision, inertial forces cause the top latching mechanism to lock the SCBA in place, preventing it from becoming a projectile.
