OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
One Monitor Control
This operator control panel has one set of switches and pilot lights to operate one monitor.
 Monitor Functions – UP, DOWN, LEFT, & RIGHT are operated with spring return joysticks. This is
accomplished by using the proper selector/pushbutton joystick to move the monitor the direction
desired. When joystick is released, it will return to original (off) position, and monitor movement
will stop.
Monitor Manual Control
 Vertical Manual Override – Push hand wheel inward to engage override. While holding the
hand wheel in, rotating it clockwise will raise the nozzle, and rotating it counter-clockwise will
lower the nozzle.
 Horizontal Manual Override – Push hand wheel inward to engage override. While holding hand
wheel in, rotating it clockwise will move the monitor right, and rotating it counter-clockwise will
move the monitor left.
When monitor operation is completed, move vertical movement to full down position to allow water to
drain from nozzle. When water is drained from nozzle, move monitor to park position.
