SAFETY VALVE OPERATION

DANGER
WARNING
The BLITZTAC is equipped with a safety valve. The safety valve reduces the flow area through the monitor by 66%, should the monitor
start to move. In the reduced flow condition, the reaction force is less and reduces the risk of injury.
To set the safety valve:
1. With the flow valve closed, set up the monitor and charge the hose line.
2. Align the safety valve directly behind the monitor so the detent ball is engaged.
3. Point the nozzle in the desired direction.
4. Slowly open the flow valve.
If the safety valve trips:
1. Fully close the flow valve.
2. Determine and correct the condition that caused the valve to trip.
3. Reset the safety valve and resume flow by following steps 2-4 above.

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.

Disconnecting, overriding, or tampering with this safety device may result in an out of control
monitor causing severe injury or death. Do not alter the safety valve in any way.
While the safety valve reduces flow to the monitor, the remaining flow is still capable of causing
damage and/or injury. Exercise caution around monitor when valve is tripped or being reset. Always
be sure to anchor monitor.
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.
