“Getting out of the SmartDock seat with an SCBA is as easy as getting out of any other seat: Lean forward and stand up. No pull-straps, no levers and the only seat belt involved is the one you wear.”
Scott Cook, former chief of the Granbury (Texas) Volunteer Fire Department, and product reviewer for FireRescue Magazine, comments on his experience with SmartDock Gen2.
The firefighter simply sets the SCBA into the SmartDock base and gently pushes it into the upper claw.
Check to make sure the SmartDock is properly adjusted. If the cylinder is difficult to insert, simply turn the knob on top of the SmartDock clockwise to raise the claw. If it is too loose, turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the claw.
SmartDock holds the tank securely during transit and locks it in place in the event of a crash.
SmartDock is the only SCBA holder that releases the tank with no levers or straps. Once the SCBA is strapped on, the firefighter simply bends at the waist and stands up to release the tank from the upper claw.
