4.2 QUICK CONNECT INLET MOUNTING AND TRAVEL RANGES

Figure 3.3 shows the various Inlet Adapters used on the Tornado. These Inlet
Adapters must be oriented upon installation so the Tornado will point in the
desired direction. Figure 4.2A shows examples of Inlet Adaptors and the
location of a "Straight Ahead Reference Mark". This figure also gives some
information about securing the Tornado to the Inlet Adapter. Travel ranges
relative to the Straight Ahead Reference Mark are shown in Figure 4.2B. Figure
4.2C gives the location of the "Stop Bolts", which are used to limit the travel.
