Warning:
Before removing the Stinger RF upper unit from the deck mount
for use in portable mode, disconnect the power cable.
A power charging harness (P/N 5255700) is provided with the monitor system. It is used
to charge the internal battery on a portable base.
B. 8298 RF Deck Mount Adapters
The 8298 RF deck mount adapter allows use of the 8297 RF as a deck gun, and is
designed for a pre-plumbed pipe directly from the apparatus pump. The 8298F RF
adapter consists of the 3” 150# flat faced ANSI flange, cast waterway, swivel ring, and
either a full or partial rotation gear ring. The 8298P RF adapter consists of the 3” NPT
female thread, wrought waterway, swivel ring, and either a full or partial rotation gear
ring.
Elkhart Brass offers a 3” companion flange kit (part no. 81315001) to be used with the
8298 RF deck mount adapter. The kit consists of an ANSI 3” 150# flange, four 5/8 – 16
bolts with nuts, and a 3” gasket.
C. Portable Bases
The portable base support legs can be folded for compact storage in an apparatus
compartment or hose bed pre-connected to a supply hose line. 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.
The anchor kit (Part #81460001) is used to safely secure the monitor with a steel stake
and safety strap. The Stinger RF should always be anchored when it is in the portable
mode. The kit also includes a Nupla
® 4lb. Hammer with safety grip fiberglass handle,
and a nylon carrying bag.
D. 8297MB-RF Storage Bracket
The 8297MB-RF is an optional, lightweight bracket that is designed to hold the Stinger
RF
® securely in place while in storage. The 8297MB-RF can be used to store the
complete monitor or the portable base separate from the upper monitor. A single release
lever allows for fast and efficient removal of the unit from the storage bracket. The
bracket can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. (Not intended to be used while
flowing water.)
There are six optional portable bases with self-aligning ring gear available:
1. Two 2.5” clappered female swivel inlets
2. One 3.5” swivel inlet
3. One 4.0” swivel inlet
4. One 4.5” swivel inlet
5. One 4.0” Storz inlet
6. One 5.0” Storz inlet
