4.7 CHANGING COUPLING LOCK-OUT
To change a coupling from rigid to full time swivel, use a 7/32” Allen driver to back out the lockout screw until the coupling moves
freely.
To change a coupling from full time swivel to rigid, fi rst align the pull pin in the elbow to vertical. Rotate the coupling until the lockout
screw is aligned with the pull pin. Use a 7/32” Allen driver to tighten the lockout screw into the lockout divot in the elbow. Do not
tighten the screw onto the polymer bearing strip.

4.8 PEG
If total overall depth is critical or if the pull pin remains hidden behind the valve and is hard to fi nd the Pull Pin can be replaced with
an optional Peg (TFT #A1576) to reduce overall depth from 11.3” to 10.4” on top crank versions. The peg does not lock into detents.

5.0 USE
5.1 ELBOW
The elbow swivels 360 degrees to help prevent hose kinks, and make connection of suction lines easier. The elbow can be turned
forward or backward to help make connections in tight places if the water supply is in front of or behind the truck. There is a hole on
the side of the elbow that can be used to attach the lanyard or chain of a cap by use of a key ring.
5.2 VALVE OPERATION
The valves covered by this manual utilize positive stops at the OPEN and CLOSED positions. Attempting to close a valve further han
the positive stops will not result in a tighter seal between the ball and valve seat. All valves include markings to indicate the direction
of handle rotation to open the valve.
Valves with hand cranks include a valve position indicator. To open the valve, turn the hand crank until the valve position indicator
shows OPEN. To close the valve, turn the hand crank the opposite way until the valve position indicator shows CLOSED.

Up to the maximum rated pressure, operating torque should never exceed the values in the table below. If greater torque is required
to operate the valve, then that is an indication that the valve needs maintenance. Exceeding 30 ft-lb / 41 N-m torque may damage
the appliance. Kicking or standing on the valve controls is considered misuse of the appliance.
