6.3 RECOMMENDED MONITOR STOWING POSITION
For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be stowed in a position such that the monitor's nozzle rests against a
bracket or support surface. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling.
properly stowed before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such as
doors or bridges.
On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Often it is critical that the monitor be properly stowed
before driving to avoid damage to overhead obstructions, such as door openings. In these cases, the use of a switch wired into the
apparatus's "door open" circuit is highly recommended. The switch would be wired to give a "door open" signal if the monitor is not in the
stowed position. Due to the variety of possible mountings and nozzles, it is the installer's responsibility to supply the appropriate switch
with mounting and wire it into their system. Always check stowed position of monitor before moving apparatus.
6.4 AUTOMATIC DRAIN
Doing the following may disable the automatic drain:
Refer to the exploded view in Section 9.0.
1) Unscrew the drain assembly from the monitor and remove the screw (#33) and washer (#28).
2) Turn over the rubber drain valve (#32) so that the raised edge is facing down, against the face of the housing (#31).
3) Reinstall the washer and screw. Reinstall the drain assembly.
6.5 FLOWS AND PRESSURES
The Hurricane RC is designed for a maximum pressure of 200 psi (14 bar). Do not exceed these limits.
CAUTION
Because the stream trajectory can obscure the view of the operator, it is recommended that a spotter be used to accurately direct the
stream.
The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before water
to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.
