  • Page 12: Installation

    4.1.1 WATER SUPPLY The HURRICANE Monitor is mounted on a riser pipe by a bolted fl ange joint. Make sure that the area around the monitor is free from obstructions which would limit its range of motion and usefulness. If a valve is mounted under the HURRICANE, make sure the monitor will not interfere with the valve handle.

  • Page 14 Straight Back Reference Mark on the monitor. NOTE: Hurricane RC monitor, for use with Extend-A-Gun RC, comes with the wire installed in a nylon tube. The nylon tubing gives the wire additional stiffness so it better follows as the Extend-A-Gun RC extends or retracts. A fi tting is also supplied and is to be used where the nylon tubing and wire pass though the deck.

  • Page 15: Horizontal Rotation Travel Stops

    4.2.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION TRAVEL STOPS The range of Horizontal (left-right) travel for the Hurricane RC monitor is limited to 450 degrees or 225 degrees from either side of a nozzle discharge position. Horizontal (left-right) travel stop bolts may be installed in the monitor to limit travel as shown in fi gure 4.2.2A and 4.2.2B.

  • Page 16: Vertical Rotation Travel Stops

    4.2.3 VERTICAL ROTATION TRAVEL STOPS The range of elevation travel for the Hurricane RC monitor is shown in Fig. 4.2.3A. The elevation range of travel may be reduced by installing Adjustment Disks as shown in Fig. 4.2.3B. The range of elevation travel for the Hurricane monitor is shown in Fig 4.2.3C.

    5.1 HORIZONTAL ROTATION CONTROL The HURRICANE can rotate from side to side on its swivel base. Lift the rotation lock lever and rotate the monitor right or left using the handle mounted on the top of the monitor. To lock the monitor in position depress the rotation lock lever. A small spring holds the rotation lock lever in the unlocked position when it is disengaged.

  • Page 18: Flows And Pressures

    6.0 FLOWS AND PRESSURES The Hurricane and Hurricane RC monitor is designed for a maximum pressure of 200 psi (14 bar). See section 3.1 for fl ow pressure operating envelope. Do not exceed these limits. The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.

  • Page 21: Automatic Masterstream Nozzles

    When using a fog nozzle, it is recommended that no stream straightener be used since the fog nozzle’s fl ow path generally serves as a stream straightener. Use of a stream straightener with a fog nozzle will increase the stress on the monitor’s gear train and may lead to premature wear. ©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2008-2014 LIX-300 April 29, 2014 Rev18...

  • Page 22: Maintenance And Inspection

    Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced immediately. • For Hurricane Fixed Monitor make sure that the monitor swivels freely on its base when the anti-rotation lock is released and that the monitor will not rotate when the anti-rotation lock is engaged.
