USE WITH SALT WATER

Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the
equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.

HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION

On nozzles with hydraulic stream shaper actuation, the hydraulic system is connected to the nozzle with two 1/8"-27 NPT female ports
on the filter block located on the nozzle's stream shaper. When the port on the left of the filter block (as seen from behind the nozzle) is
pressurized, the shaper moves back into the wide fog position. Pressurizing the right port moves the shaper forward into straight stream.
Hydraulic lines must be flexible to allow for movement of the stream shaper. Use only clean fluid compatible with Buna N Compound
(Nitrile). System must be free from all dirt, chips and contaminants. Replacement filter elements are available from TFT (item #M160).
Maximum hydraulic pressure is 1000 psi (70 bar, 7000 kPa) for Masterstream 1000 or 1250s.
3.6

ELECTRIC INSTALLATION

Nozzles with electric stream shaper actuation are shipped with a wiring diagram (TFT item #LIM-040). Other documentation is available
on request. ER nozzles are equipped with manual override in case of electrical power failure.
WARNING
©Copyright Task Force Tips LLC 1999-2020
Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under
pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections.
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to
uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause injury. Per
NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be
applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least
quarterly.
This device is not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe. Use only in locations
with adequate ventilation and no hazard of flammable vapor buildup.
