Elkhart Brass ELKHART I.M.S. 750 & 1000 - Manual (Page 2)

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.
• 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 equipment per instructions on page 2.
INSTALLATION:
Thread the inlet swivel onto the 2.5" NHT male discharge outlet of an Elkhart Brass monitor. Screw the swivel
down and tighten securely with a spanner wrench.
OPERATING:
Use the handles on either side of the nozzle tip to change the stream pattern by rotating the tip. Place the nozzle
in the Straight Stream position by rotating the nozzle tip clockwise until it has moved as far forward as possible.
Turning the tip counter-clockwise will transition the nozzle stream from a straight pattern at the furthest
forward position through an ever widening fog pattern to a wide fog pattern when the nozzle tip is at the
furthest back position. Recessed arrows with cast letters (SS for Straight Stream and FOG for the Fog patterns)
on either side of the nozzle tip indicate the direction the tip needs to be rotated for the desired stream pattern.
The nozzle may be operated in any position from Straight Stream to Wide Fog. Refer to the chart on page 2 for
nozzle flow vs. pressure.
INSPECTION;
Inspect the nozzle after each use and at least monthly when not in use. Check the nozzle for any signs of
damage or contamination from bird or insect nests when not used for long periods of time. Check the nozzle
operation by turning the nozzle tip through its entire range of motion several times. Grease if required (see
Maintenance).
