7.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The Monsoon Monitor requires little maintenance. The monitor should be kept clean and free of dirt. All controls should be checked
for freedom of movement and proper operation before each use. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
• Make sure that the monitor's axis' rotate freely and without binding throughout its range of travel.
• Make sure that there are no leaks when the monitor is fl owing water.
• Make sure the nozzle is free of debris.
Equipment can be returned to the factory for service and/or testing.

7.1 LUBRICATION

The Monsoon monitor generally should not require greasing. In the event that the operation becomes stiff grease may be applied to
the horizontal rotation and elevation worm gears. The grease is applied by removing the plugs at the grease ports and replacing with
grease fi ttings that have ¼-28 male threads. See fi gures 7.1A and 7.1B for grease port locations. Use medium viscosity automotive
chassis grease. Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If normal operation is not restored by greasing than inspect
for other causes of stiff operation.
Note: Do not over pump grease. The monitor's greased areas lead to large chambers that could trap several pounds of
grease before becoming visible.
