A. 8397 Monitor Assembly
The 8397 Stinger 2.0 ® Portable Monitor is a lightweight versatile monitor. The highly efficient cast
aluminum waterway contains a central vane to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide superior
fire streams. The vertical stream direction is controlled by a handwheel driving a worm gear. The
horizontal stream direction is controlled by disengaging the left-right lock and moving the return bend
by hand. The maximum monitor flow capacity is 1250 gallons per minute with the single inlet bases
(the clappered Siamese inlet is rated at 1000 GPM).
8397 Stinger 2.0
® monitors are normally supplied with the 282A and ST-194 Stacked Tip combination.
The SM-1250 constant pressure (automatic) type master stream nozzle is also available for
use with the 8397 Stinger 2.0 ® .
The following additional features are also provided in the 8397 Stinger 2.0
® monitor:
Enclosed Gearing
Fully enclosed worm gearing drives the vertical travel. The gearing runs in a clean grease filled
environment isolated from dirt, grit, ice, or anything else that might interfere with exposed
gearing.
Elevation Safety Stop Pin
The stop pin alerts the operator when the elevation has reached its lowest point (35 degrees
above horizontal) without activating the manual override. The manual over-ride should only be
used when advancing a hose line from the 8397 Stinger 2.0
® monitor’s discharge. Using the
over-ride while in portable mode can cause serious injury or death to nearby personnel.
Left-Right Lock Lever
The left-right lock is designed to engage and disengage quickly. The left-right lock lever
visually indicates the status of the lock.
Forged Aluminum Support Legs
The folding support legs are forged aluminum for ultra high strength and light weight. The
folding legs are designed to be easily rotated from the stored position to the extended and
locked position and back again. The spring-loaded carbide ground spikes are very hard and very
sharp, important factors in the prevention of sliding under flow. With the legs folded the 8397
Stinger 2.0
® can be easily stored in a compartment or in our 8297 MB storage bracket pre-
connected and ready to go!
Two Carrying Handles
There are two convenient handles to make carrying the lightest 1250 GPM portable monitor
even easier.
