Pattern Control; Shaper Tactile Indicator - Task Force Tips G-Force Instructions For Safe Operation And Maintenance

5.2 PATTERN CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

5.2.1 PATTERN CONTROL

TFT's G-Force has full pattern control from straight stream
to wide fog. Turning the stream shaper clockwise (as seen
from the operating position behind the nozzle) moves the
shaper to the straight stream position. Turning the shaper
counterclockwise will result in an increasingly wider
pattern.
Since the stream trim point varies with fl ow, the stream
should be "trimmed" after changing the fl ow to obtain the
straightest and farthest reaching stream. To properly trim
the stream, fi rst open the pattern to narrow fog. Then
close the stream to parallel to give maximum reach.
Note: Turning the shaper further forward will cause
stream crossover and reduce the effective reach of
the nozzle.

5.2.2 SHAPER TACTILE INDICATOR

The G-Force has a tactile indicator on the stream shaper.
The tactile indicator allows the stream shaper position
(and fog angle) to be determined by feel rather then by
sight. The fog angle can be adjusted (see section 5.2.4)
so that a desired fog angle is achieved when the tactile
indicator in on top of the nozzle. The G-Force has an
optional detent to aid in returning to a known fog angle.
Note: The fog angle will change as fl ow and pressure
change (becoming wider with increased fl ow).
