CAUTION:
Before installing and operating this equipment, read & study this manual thoroughly. Proper
installation is essential to safe operation. In addition, the following points should be adhered
to in order to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel:
• All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be thoroughly trained in
its safe and proper use.
• The inlet connection of the nozzle must be securely tightened. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
• The nozzle must be properly oriented on the monitor (see installation instructions).
• Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel (fire service and civilian)
are out of the stream path. Also, check to make sure stream direction will not cause
avoidable property damage.
• Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this equipment, and the
pumping system used to supply it. To produce effective fire streams operating personnel
must be properly trained.
• Open water valve supplying this equipment slowly, so that piping and hose lines fill
slowly, thus preventing possible water hammer occurrence.
• After each use, and on a scheduled basis, inspect & maintain this equipment per the
instructions in this manual.
INSTALLATION:
Place the monitor discharge horizontal or parallel to the ground. Check to see that there is a gasket in place
before threading the inlet swivel onto the 2.5" NHT male discharge of the monitor. Tighten the swivel hand
tight. Press down on the finger pad of the locking lever and while holding it down grasp the nozzle’s electric
actuator assembly and rotate the front portion of the nozzle until the locking lever can be released to engage the
slot corresponding to the desired flow setting. The gallonage ring has markings for the different flow settings
with an arrow pointing to the notch that corresponds to that setting. The flow settings are marked according to
the flow rate the nozzle will provide at 100 PSI (6.89 Bar). Check that the locking lever is engaged in the
correct slot for the desired flow setting. Loosen the swivel and reposition the nozzle with the locking lever on
the bottom (6 o/clock position) and the electric actuator assembly at the top (12 o/clock position) and tighten
the swivel securely with a spanner wrench. This insures that the override nut is easily accessible and that the
electric actuator assembly does not impede the travel of the monitor discharge. Plug the two way connector for
the nozzle’s electric actuator into the mating connector for the nozzle on the monitor’s harness.
