Ladder 2's "Coaster Clutch Timing Test" 3-1-2019

There is something absolutely wrong with that Q. It should take twice as long to wind down. Check the clutch and lube it. Not the friction material (brass to friction material) but the steel threads on the brass clutch

It’s supposed to be dry. Any oil or dirt that gets into it can actually make it worse.

This is beyond common for mechanical Q's. Especially if this a Frontline rig, with that vintage Series Q.
Ain't nothing wrong with that jawn.
Clutch replacement to the current Assembly style or clean the installed clutch.

fmartinjr I know it’s common but lubing the clutch assembly will make it work correctly.

Just noticed that Q is a sign and signal model. That puts it being manufactured from early 1950’s to the mid 1970’s

[@alexandersalarms5380]

yes... Q sirens are only by federal signal..

[@code3responsevideos872]

Alexanders Alarms yes I know that. Present day “Federal Signal” was called “Federal Sign and Signal” the company changed names in the 1970’s. That’s what I was referring to as being able to date the approx age of a siren.

Alexanders Alarms then why did you say “q sirens are only by federal signal”? I never said or implied they were made by any other company. Only that the company changed names. Your reply to my comment made no sense because it was not directed at you.

Also FYI just tested mine after regular service. 2 minutes and 46 seconds. That’s an exceptionally good time.
