7. The nozzle stream elevation can be adjusted within a range of 35 degrees above horizontal
to 75 degrees above horizontal. This is the range allowed by the safety stop. A positive stop
will be felt through the Handwheel at each end of the travel limit. Do not attempt to go past
these limits by applying more force to the Handwheel as it may result in gear damage. Turn
the Handwheel clockwise to lower the discharge and counter-clockwise to raise the
discharge.
Warning:
Never lower the discharge elbow below the angle allowed by the vertical safety stop when using the
8397 Stinger 2.0
® portable monitor. If the discharge is lowered below the safety stop, the nozzle
reaction force will cause the monitor and hose lines to slide. Serious injury or death could occur if this
warning is not followed.
8. The only case in which the monitor discharge
should be lowered below the range allowed by the
safety stop is to advance a hose line from the
monitor discharge. The water supply to the
monitor must be shut down and the nozzle and
stream shaper removed. While pulling up on the
ring attached to the safety stop pin the monitor
discharge can be lowered past the 35 degree limit.
(see Figure 8) The ring can then be released.
Attach the hose line and nozzle and remember to
charge the lines slowly. When finished remove the
hose from the monitor’s discharge and raise the
monitor discharge to its upper limit. The spring-
loaded safety stop will reset itself. Reattach the
stream shaper and nozzle.

pull on the return bend of the monitor. To turn right push on the return bend. The monitor
discharge should not be turned more than 45 degrees to either side of the monitor’s front
center leg. Engage the left-right lock to hold the monitor in position. Never leave the
monitor unattended while the left-right lock is disengaged.
