VALVE OPERATION
The valve handle is locked in the closed position so that the Portable
Monitor may be carried/moved without the valve inadvertently opening
when water flow is not desired. To unlock the valve handle from the
closed position:
1. Pull the knob on the right side of the valve handle.
2. While pulling the knob, use the other hand to move the valve
handle slowly to an open position.
As soon as valve is opened the knob may be released. Valve handle
may be moved to any position by pushing or pulling on the valve handle.
When the valve is closed the valve handle automatically locks and must
be unlocked again to reopen. The monitor has a label that indicates the
direction to open and close the valve.
WARNING

FOLDING LEGS
The Portable Monitor has two legs that fold for storage and unfold for operation. The legs are held in the folded and unfolded position by
spring detents. To fold or unfold the legs:
1. Grasp the spike end of one leg and pivot it to the folded or unfolded position.
2. Repeat for the other leg.

Sudden changes in valve position can cause pressure spikes (water hammer) and could lead to
hose or pipe failure or an out of control monitor. Open and close the valve slowly to avoid water
hammer.
In the unfolded position, the legs provide a stable base for operation of the monitor. Lack of stability
can cause an out of control monitor resulting in injury or death. Do not operate as a portable
monitor with one or both legs in the folded position.
