Page 12: Quick Connect Inlet And Travel Ranges
QUICK CONNECT INLET AND TRAVEL RANGES The Tornado Monitor is available with various inlet fittings. These Inlet Adapters must be oriented upon installation so the Tornado will point in the desired direction. Travel ranges relative to the Straight Ahead Reference Mark are shown in Figure 4.3B. Figure 4.4 gives the location of the “Stop Bolts”, which are used to limit... -

NOZZLE INSTALLATION The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads. If the nozzle is installed on a Tornado RC (with electric motors) assure that the nozzle’s actuator does not make contact with the horizontal drive motor housing when the monitor is in its lowest elevation position. -
Page 14: Draining Residual Water
DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER There is no drain on the Tornado monitor itself. A drain valve should be installed on the piping to which the monitor is attached. Monitors, valves, and piping may be damaged if frozen while containing sufficient amounts of WARNING water. -

Page 18: Stream Straighteners
STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS Turbulence though the Tornado monitor is very low, but stream quality and reach can be improved with the use of the integral stream straightener on the TFT stacked tip nozzle. Stream straighteners will add some friction loss as indicated above. -
Page 19: Maintenance
LUBRICATION The Tornado 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. SEE SECTION 3.5 for grease fitting locations. Use medium viscosity automotive chassis grease. -
