See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions For Use With Tornado RC Models

4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITOR MOUNTING

The structure that the Tornado Monitor is mounted to must
withstand the internal pressure of the monitor, as well as shear
and bending forces due to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be
as high as 400 lbs (180 kg) (500 gpm at 200 psi).
For fl anged connections, the use of fl at fl anges without raised
faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as defi ned in ASME
16.21 or ISO 7483. Tighten fl ange bolts in an alternating sequence
as shown in fi gure 4.1. Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 Newton-
Meters).
WARNING

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 fi gure 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.
A rotational lock is included on quick connect couplings on RC models. The locking pin also holds the coupling up out of the way while
orienting the monitor to engage the internal ear into the slot on the adaptor. Hold the pin out, push the coupling up and the release
pin before installing monitor on the adaptor. Once the monitor is properly aligned on the adaptor, hold the pin out while sliding the
coupling down to the adaptor. Rotate the coupling until it is tight. The coupling may become suffi ciently tight before reaching the next
detent position. It is not necessary to over tighten the coupling if the pull pin is between detent positions. Do not use the pull pin as
a lever to tighten or loosen the coupling.

Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable
of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 400 lbs (180 kg). Flanges and
pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor
is not recommended for portable use.
