Control Identification - Oscillator; Use - Oscillator - Task Force Tips BLITZFIRE Series Instructions For Safe Operation And Maintenance

The oscillating mechanism is driven by a turbine wheel. A worm gear drive reduces the speed and increases the torque of the
turbine wheel. A simple crank mechanism makes the outlet of the Blitzfire and the nozzle attached to it move back and forth. The
horizontal sweep can be set for a 20, 30 and 40 degree sweep. The oscillating mechanism can be uncoupled and the water
stream can be aimed manually.
The speed of oscillation is a function of flow rate, see the Blitzfire Oscillation Speed graph on page 14.

6.4 USE - OSCILLATOR

Deploy the Oscillation Blitzfire as you would the standard Blitzfire, see section 4.0. Align the base of the Blitzfire with the center of
the area you wish to cover.
To Engage The Oscillating Mechanism:
engaged. Depress the green START KNOB and move the nozzle from one side to the other until the roll pin drops in the groove in
the connecting rod. Open the valve on the Blitzfire and adjust the elevation to hit the desired spot. The minimum flow is 175 GPM
(650 L/min). To adjust the area of coverage, pull the silver knob and move it left or right until the pointer aligns with the desired
angle of coverage.
To Disengage The Oscillating Mechanism:
the Nozzle to the desired position by hand. The green START KNOB will pop up to indicate the mechanism is disengaged. The
crank and connecting rod will continue to move.
Elevation angle is set the same as the standard Blitzfire.
