Page 4: Maintenance Instructions
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Your TuckAway monitor and nozzle should be inspected prior to and after each use to ensure it is in good operating condition. Periodically, an unanticipated incident may occur where the unit is misused in a manner that is inconsistent with standard operating practices. A partial list of potential misuses includes: • Operating above the maximum rated pressure or flow. • Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 130°F, or below -25°F. • Operating in a corrosive environment. • Having the TuckAway nozzle hit a fixed object during operation or transportation. • Other misuse that might be unique to your specific environment. Also, there are many “tell tale” signs that indicate repair is in order, such as: • Controls that are either inoperable or difficult to operate. • Excessive wear • Poor discharge performance • Water leaks. If any of the above situations are encountered, the TuckAway monitor should be taken out of service, repaired, and tested by a qualified technician before placing back in service. - Page 5 Figure 1 TOP VIEW -STOWED TOP VIEW - DEPLOYED 9-9/16 5/16-18 UNC-2B X 1/2 DEEP (TYP 4) 5.250 45° 45° 2-1/2 2-1/4 11-7/8 2-1/2 NH THREAD SCALE 0.625 GROOVE TO FIT SIZE 2-153 O-RING 5-1/2 3-1/8 Ø4-3/8 B.C. 3/8-16 UNC-2B THREAD TYP 4 ON 4.375 B.C.
