PRODUCT WARNINGS
WARNING:
Charge the unit slowly. Rapid charging may cause a pressure surge that has the potential to cause an
injury, or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
DO NOT stow or deploy the Renegade monitor while flowing. Pressing the stow or deploy buttons
causes the nozzle to move automatically and the water stream may cause damage to equipment or
injury to personnel.
WARNING:
Aim the unit in a safe direction before pumping water through it. (i.e. Away from power lines)
WARNING:
Although the circuit board includes a water-resistant coating, it is important to keep water out of the
control box and logic box. Prolonged exposure to water will cause damage.
WARNING:
When the cover of the control box or logic box is removed, check that the O-ring under the cover is
intact and free of dirt and debris.
WARNING:
The Renegade monitor uses current limiting for both the monitor and nozzle. Use only appropriate Akron
Brass Company nozzles.
WARNING:
Do not use the electric controls when the override cranks are being used or are in position for use.
WARNING:
Make the connection of the vehicle and auxiliary battery the final step.
WARNING:
Replace the identification tags if they should become worn or damaged.
WARNING:
DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure or flow ratings of the monitor. Exceeding these ratings may lead
to an injury or may cause damage to the monitor.

Read and understand these operating instructions before use.
  • Page 2: General Instructions

    WARNING: DO NOT install shutoffs on the outlet of the monitor. Shutoffs increase the potential for pressure surges due to water hammer, which have the potential to cause an injury or damage to the monitor. WARNING: The Renegade monitor, nozzle, logic box, control box, tether controller, and field adjustable stops are made for optimal performance. Do not alter in any manner. WARNING: The Renegade monitor was designed for use with the Akron nozzle. Use of any other nozzle could affect the speed or operation of the unit and should be tested before being put into service. WARNING: The Renegade monitor contains moving parts. Keep hand, finger and objects away from pinch points. WARNING: Disconnect power and disable flow before maintenance. WARNING WARNING: Keep all personnel out of the Danger Zone, in front of the outlet of the monitor when the water source is attached. Dangerous flow velocities can cause serious injury. WARNING: Not designed for explosive environments. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS • Review the instructions, wiring diagram, component layout and rotational stops diagram before installing this unit. This unit operates on 12 or 24 volt DC. All electrical current flows through the wires. The monitor does not act as a ground. The wires from the control boxes can be cut to the length for the application. Do not extend the wires from the logic box to the monitor.

Thread the cable through the cable grip nut until the cable grip will grab the cable. Tighten the cable grip and attach the individual wires to the proper terminals (see wiring schematic Figure 6). NOTE: Auxiliary Battery is not intended to operate the monitor. STEP 9 VEHICLE BATTERY - Remove the logic box cable grip nut for the vehicle battery and place it on the battery cable (#10-2 or #12-2 depending on length) with the threads facing out. Thread the cable through the cable grip until the cable grip nut will grab the cable. Tighten the cable grip nut and attach the individual wires to the proper terminals (see wiring schematic Figure 6). Reattach the logic box cover and secure with the 6 screws.
