4.0 INSTALLATION See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions For Use With Hurricane RC Models 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 9: Inlet Mounting And Travel Ranges
4.2.1 INLET FITTING OR EXTEND-A-GUN RC INSTALLATION The Hurricane RC Monitor is available with various inlet fi ttings as shown in fi gure 3.3B. The Hurricane RC Monitor also connects directly to TFT’s Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4. The fi ttings and Extend-A-Gun RC are attached to the monitor by means of a threaded joint with an o-ring seal. - Page 10 Straight Ahead 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.

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. -

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. ADJUSTMENT DISK, Y3146... -
Page 13: Pressure Gage Port
4.5 AUTOMATIC DRAIN There is an automatic drain on the Hurricane RC installed from factory, that will empty the water from the low point of the lower bend to prevent freezing (Figure 3.2A and 3.2B). The valve closes when the internal pressure is approximately 5 psi (0.3 bar) or above and opens when the internal pressure is below 5 psi (0.3 bar). -
Page 14: Flows And Pressures
6.0 FLOWS AND PRESSURES The 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 15 20.0 40.0 60.0 80.0 60 PSI 80 PSI 100 PSI 40 PSI 40.0 80.0 120.0 160.0 200.0 240.0 280.0 HORIZONTAL DISTANCE (FEET) Fig 6.1C Stacked Tips Stream Trajectory Graphs ©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2008-2009 LIX-300 November 9, 2009 Rev11...

Page 17: 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. 2008-2009 LIX-300 November 9, 2009 Rev11... -
Page 18: Maintenance And Inspection
7.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING Performance tests should be conducted on the Hurricane RC monitor after repairs are made, or any time a problem is reported to verify operation in accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures. Consult the factory for the test procedure that corresponds to the model and serial number of your monitor. - Page 19 9.0 HURRICANE DRAWING & PARTS LIST 9.1 HURRICANE RC MONITOR ASSEMBLY ................. 20 9.2 ELEVATION CHAIN DRIVE ASSEMBLY .................. 22 9.3 GEAR MOTOR ASSEMBLY ..................... 22 9.4 MONITOR CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY .................. 23 ©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2008-2009 LIX-300 November 9, 2009 Rev11...
