8.0 RECOMMENDED PARK POSITION

For truck mounted applications it is recommended that the monitor be parked in a position such that the monitor's nozzle rests
against a bracket or support surface. If a support surface is not available, run the elevation against one of its travel stops to take some
of the backlash out of the gear drive. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling. Always be sure the
monitor is properly parked before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such
as doors or bridges.
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions (LIY-500) for information on programming DEPLOY,
OSCILLATE and PARK position Tornado RC models.

8.1 OVERRIDE KNOBS

In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor or fi re truck
the Tornado RC Monitor is factory supplied with knobs so the
monitor may be manually operated. To make the Tornado RC more
compact the manual override knobs may be removed. The drive
shafts have a hex so an 11/16" wrench or socket may be used for
manual override. The wrenching hexes are shown in fi gure 8.1.
